I don't have Fox News, so unable to watch

You're not missing anything.

You're not missing anything.

Then why are you watching?

 

[GILSAN]

For some reason the video stopped and now shows the message:
Sky News L..." This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Fox News Network, LLC.

 

[verbster]

Then why are you watching?

To understand the candidates and their platforms better, to see how Fox ran the debate and the occasional comic relief some of the candidates like Trump and Cruz provided.

Trump got thrown to the 'gators at the end with the hand raising and the panel. He will not be leading in the polls anymore.

I was surprised by how right wing some of the answers were, but disappointed by how Fox customized questions for a specific candidate; depending on the candidate, some were very pointed and leading, and some were softballs.

The main thing I learned was that 10 candidates were too many for a decent debate.

Trump got thrown to the 'gators at the end with the hand raising and the panel. He will not be leading in the polls anymore.

Fox News started the debate by pointing arrows at Trump with that charade of the hand raising question. That was intentional and clearly aimed at Trump to belittle and separate him from the rest of the crowd, Then Megyn came out with her stupid and provocative question about women. I'm glad to see him giving her hell even if it means him loosing popularity.

Fox News also asked questions to get specific candidates to get to each other’s throat. That's BS in my opinion. Hardly anything was asked about the Obama policies.
Fu$k the MSM. They deserve no respect at all

They should stick to asking relevant questions, not trying to choose the candidates that should run against the Democrats.

Go Trump go... give the full of sh$t MSM hell.

Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is forced to abandon rally after Black Lives Matter protesters storm stage and hold four-minute silence for Michael Brown

LOL... so what about the other lives? don't they matter as well? What a bunch of idiots. About time that some blacks assume their own responsibilities and start changing what's wrong in their own communities, instead of blaming whitey for everything.

 

[GILSAN]

Anyone have Megyn Kelly's e-mail address? I wanted to send her this card of Trump, in the hope of seeing her bleed from her... nose.

[GILSAN]

Just leave Donald Trump alone.., you hear me Megyn Kelly??

The hand-raising smells of collusion, but Fox is notorious for making their own news. The questions needed to have been presented in a manner that directly related to presidential aspirations . . . same with answers.

Fox News also asked questions to get specific candidates to get to each other’s throat. That's BS in my opinion. Hardly anything was asked about the Obama policies.

Yes, the questions were tailored to candidates. Some were meant to sensationalize and create news. Others were phrased to make certain candidates look good.

They should stick to asking relevant questions, not trying to choose the candidates that should run against the Democrats.

Yes, Fox appeared as if they were trying to influence viewers (with their questions and comments).

Go Trump go... give the full of sh$t MSM hell.

Despite the circumstances, Trump showed he may make a ruthless businessman, but not a good president.

As for giving the MSM hell, that's exactly what Fox is counting on and is one of Trump's weaknesses. He appears easy to manipulate because his reactions are predictable. Like Trump, Fox wants attention and will do whatever to get it. It's undignified on both ends.

 

[GILSAN]

They've got their act down, haven't they?

They're trying to go to Hollywood, but I doubt they'll make it. It's just too infested with liberals there.

 

[biggie]

without Trump, the debates wouldn't be worth watching

he is bout the only one who is isn't tied to being politically correct and special interest groups

kinda like Archie Bunker with money

 

[GILSAN]

Despite the circumstances, Trump showed he may make a ruthless businessman, but not a good president.

Well lets see now: one President was a Hollywood actor, another a peanut farmer, another a Texas cowboy, another a Community organizer with the added advantage of being black, so I don't see why being a businessman is an impediment for being President, unless the MSM says so, and they sure have a lot of power nowadays... the power to convince so many people who they should vote on.

That's why when it comes to American politics there is nothing that gives me more satisfaction than to see someone NOT giving a sh1t about the MSM

I didn't say being a businessman was an "impediment" to being president. Many of the U.S. presidents were businessmen . . . and some were very rich.

Not giving a shit about the MSM doesn't necessarily mean the person has good qualities. In Trump's case, he needs to learn how to be subtle, not to be politically correct, but to learn how to be persuasive without dismissing and audience. When you're so self-absorbed that you equate being rich with being right, that's a problem. Trump is like using a sledge hammer to cut a pie.

Lets wait and see who the MSM decides is their preferred Democratic candidate.

Still, nice to see the MSM not preocupied wth Sanders age (73), unlike what happened when Ron Paul and John McCain where also running for President, being called all kinds of unkind words for being in their 70's, just like Bernie Sanders is at the moment.

Double standards, once again by the MSM
