Here's my two cents: The biggest losers where the moderators. Next set of losers, Trump, Rand Paul & Christie. The rest were just average. Carson did a tad better than I expected, still not presidential material at all. Huck and Cruz didn't do much for me. I don't get the Kasich appeal, since he's new I'll keep listening though. Walker has done some impressive stuff, against all odds too, but he was lackluster. Bush has a good record, yet he didn't wow me. Rubio, I like that kid, performance was just okay. Today's winner, for me anyway, Carly Fiorina. Honestly, she's the only one I really enjoyed watching.

Megyn's opening question had no place in this debate. A Twitter feud between two non-politicians does not mean he's a misogynist. We have no context for what the insults were even about. Is she saying every time Trump gets into it with someone who happens to be female that that means he hates women? Gimme a break! I believe most people, including women, see through this. It will only backfire and boost Trump's numbers.

5am and another woman on Fox saying Trump attacked Megyn Kelly...another saying he didn't do well.

They are really trying to throw a wet blanket on Trump. I will laugh if it backfires and people see Trump as the victim.

Trump was Trump. Most will say that Trump started off bad but I think it actually helped him look the most honest and fearless. He spoke his mind and did not care about whether it would hurt him or not. An advantage that he has is that he is not a politician.

She could've also asked him if he hates men considering he "attacked" far more men...Obama, McCain, Graham and Perry, etc within the last few weeks.

Maybe going after a few women means he's an equal opportunity "insulter"?

Megyn Kelly is certainly attractive and intelligent but her bias was crystal clear last night. She seems a little too "cute" to be taken seriously anymore. She went way down in my book. The slightly cocked head, smile, and hair flung over her shoulder on one side.....I wont watch her again. The after show was a joke. She definitely has it in for Trump. Comments like "women wont vote for Trump after all the nasty things he said". He's a loud mouth, no doubt, but we have had so many years of canned responses and actions from professional politicians that Trumps appeal is exactly that he isn't one of them. And oh yeah....what he said about Rosie is also true

Fox is laying the anti-Trump propaganda on thick. They had Frank Luntz on with his room of 20 voters in a state where nobody lives saying they view Trump negatively but are impressed by Huckabee, Cruz, and Carson because they're so eloquent.

That's a good description!

I was thinking he took a 6 week course at the William Shatner school of acting.

Hah! Probably. Trump is a brand, and like anyone who knows how to market themselves, he won't let negative information about himself float out there unchallenged. I'm betting those instances Megyn was talking about were Trump defending himself against comments Rosie O'Donnell made about him on The View. She also referred to comments he made on his show. Reality TV is partially scripted and manipulated by producers; you cannot take show business and think that would have anything to do with his policy as president.

Default Fox debate was dull.

I checked it out on Youtube and i can totally say there is no winner.

It was very dull.

Moderators were horrible.

Discussions were also useless.

It didn't give me a good taste.

Sorry folks.
