    You could say that about every channel. You think they exist for sh*ts and giggles?

    The fact of the matter is that the "moderators" did not ask Trump ONE question which would have given us the opportunity to hear more about his proposed policies. EVERY SINGLE question was in fact a hostile statement, and they even interrupted him when he tried to answer. The other candidates received softball questions. They tossed a few curve balls at a few candidates, but that was to claim plausible denial of singling Trump out for the execution stump.

    Athletes? You think "playing ball' well constitutes greatness? How have those people made my life better?
    To me, the greatness class belongs to inventors, not guys who run around chasing balls! lol!

    They should exist to provide the News, if they have "News" in their program title, nothing says that any of them have to give the low class carnival barker a stage to yap his BS at America.

    What you say is true, but it is a reflection of the fact that women are judged on their appearance rather than competence. I'm not some war on women type, but that is wrong. We have much more to offer than our looks.

    Obama has racialized this country and taken race relations back decades.

    You'd be right next to Pete Carroll in the hall of fame for bad decisions.

    I am sure I could find a position with a better news source, meaning about any other news source. Sometimes one should stand by their principles, I thought that is a trait of conservatives, I guess that it does not apply when $$ is involved. Hypocrites Everywhere these days.

    CNN has the word news in it and has been circling the toilet for years. It's fun watching the Democrats get their shorts in a wad over Trump and they deserve it after subjecting the country to two terms of the biggest idiot to ever hold the title of president.

    A principle is believing someone should be able to speak their mind, you know, not trying to silence people?

    Hitler would be so proud of you.

    You're suggesting what Hitler did in Mein Kampf, silence the opposition.

    But they want ratings, and Donald delivers.

    The moderators should have been told that was their last one. But I suspect Ailes got the word from the Koch brothers to eliminate Trump. What a shock that he has risen in the polls.

    Good God! Why bring up Hitler?
    I think it was Marx whose strategy was to silence the opposition. Hitler may have too, but I think his opposition were those commies trying to take over Germany.

    I wouldn't bet on it. Her questions were her own idea. They might have been approved, but she and she alone came up with that feminist crap. She should be fired.

    She's been far too consumed with her own sense of self-importance for far too long. She needs to go.

    (Caveat: I've never liked her.)

    Groucho Marx never tried to silence the opposition, he just tried to make them laugh.

    You know what's funny....Megyn (in an interview Howard Kurtz) said (after the debate) that she WAS having cramps before the debate to such a degree she had to have a doctor give her an anti-nausea pill. She said though, she didn't know what the sickness was and the pill was like a miracle.

    http://www.adweek.com/tvnewser/megyn-kelly-nearly-missed-the-gop-debate/269269

    Hours before Thursday’s GOP debate Megyn Kelly got sick.

    “I just started to go downhill,” Kelly told Howard Kurtz on MediaBuzz today. “I think it was food poisoning. First the splitting headache and I started to feel nauseous and then I actually got sick and I went to the hotel room to lie down for a little bit and was still sick and then the beautiful, wonderful savior of my life, Dr. David Silverman, of New York called me in anti-nausea medicine.

    My assistant was feeding me full of medicine and I was sweating with wash cloth on me at 3 in the afternoon. By 3:47 it was like a ray of light.”

    Unfortunately for Donald Trump — and fortunately for Fox News — Kelly made a full recovery had was back at the arena by 5:30. “The power of modern medicine,” Kelly said.


    So...maybe she WAS out of sorts and The Donald picked up on it. :eekeyes: WAS it a sickness or.......?

    Hitler was a master of suppressing opposition , he was just to damn successful and people fell in love with him.

    How would you feel if your country took 2 other countries over without spilling a drop of blood.

    Really?

    What exactly/specifically did Obama do to cause the problems you suggest? (Don't just go by how you feel... or how others may have told you to.)

    Lol! Playing dirty now, huh? lol........

    Well, first of all, I've NEVER tho't Obama was an 'eloquent' speaker, but the libs have literally drooled over him, claiming he's a 'brilliant orator'..... bs. If he's not reading the teleprompter, he's stuttering and stammering.....but yeah, I know - that's beside the point.

    And I know what your point is, which you've stated very 'eloquently' yourself.

    Of course, if it came to that choice, I would take the crass speaker and hope he'd learn to speak 'eloquently'..... : )

    Bringing Hitler into the discussion only proves you have zero further to add.

    for should of, they were bias from the beginning with that pledge, that was only targeted at one candidate, then the first question comes off as an attack from things he said on his show

    I should have caveated that. I don't think he is a brilliant orator either for the same reasons. (Insert picture of him speaking to that classroom with teleprompters here)

    Kelly was exposed as an active feminist. That explains her line of questioning. She can be a good interviewer one-on-one on a single subject but in the debate she was over her head because she couldn't be objective. She tried to embarrass Trump with her elongated question but he gave it back to her. Roger Ailes, much smarter than Kelly, saw it correctly. If you want to see how trashy Kelly can be check out her 2010 interview on the Howard Stern Show. What lady would ever go on that trashy show. A bimbo. Trump nailed it.

    What is best for the nation? And what will said person do that is best for the nation?

    BTW- Iran does not nor will not have nukes.
    Illegals have been coming here for 50 yrs. Neither party has done nothing. Corporations want them.
    So all your talking points are pure political BS.
