That is true, unless you live under a rock, you would not know this. Obviously certain players don't want Trump in the mix, that was clear as night and day.

Your right whether you like his answers or not, you will get honest. Kelly went after Trump immediately.

You didn't miss it - the moderators missed it.

He was not asked these questions. He really dodged a bullet, and yet he has the gall to act petulant about the questions he WAS asked.

What a buffoon he is.

People say they had it out for Trump. Here is the thing, he pulled a liberal on us. He dodged the question, refused to present the facts, and played the victim. Everyone got asked tough questions. Even Bush (who Trump claims was asked softball questions) was asked again whether he supported Iraq or not. I don't understand the fuss. The idea was to point out the flaws of each candidate and see how they could defend them (i.e. DONALD HAS A LOT OF FLAWS) And I agree the moderators could have been more professional but hey, It's prime time television. They aren't gonna make it boring. It was exciting. And the biggest thing people need to realize is that this is the only debate that will not hand out softball questions. This debate was purely designed to show who is presidential.

THE MODERATORS ASKED THE QUESTIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE ASKED i.e. Donald's flip flop with political parties and views. Best question of the night!

Here is my question to Trump: Where is your proof that Mexico is intentionally sending illegals to the US? How will you build that wall on the border? How will you bring jobs back to America (i.e how will you convince Ford to move their plant back to the US)?

I agree with his talking points, especially about PC but he needs to answer these questions!

Fox News GOP debate: Brett Baier, Megyn Kelly, and Chris Wallace got the job done.

Now please, don't change your view on Fox News. Don't say you aren't watching Bret or Megyn anymore. Where else are you going to get your conservative news? I found the debate fair and balanced, like both moderator's show. KEEP WATCHING THEM. You know Trump isn't the best candidate. Neither is Bush and they touched on that issue. If you want someone similar to Trump, vote CARLY FIORINA 2016!
Very good analysis.
I agree - the questions need to be asked.

When you more than double the all time record, that's impressive. I guess Trump factor is a big reason.

Okay Dems, time for you to spout some sarcastic remarks about never gonna happen, Blue Wall, Republican Party is disintegrating (even though there are more elected Republicans than at any time since 1928 and Republicans control every sector of Govt except the White House) to go for a buzz kill.

I didn't say I doubted that Trump was winning in the polls (after all, most people are of average intelligence and he appeals to that segment I guess).

I just said that a Drudge Report poll isn't mainstream. The ranking of the other candidates differs significantly between the Time poll and the Drudge Report poll.

Internet polls like this generally aren't very reliable as you have many voting that would never vote for Trump voting for him in the poll, but the way he has crushed everyone else in nearly every poll is saying something.

He's winning the MSNBC poll too. Only 5 candidates to choose from though, odd.

Power Brokers on this country want a Bush-Clinton run. On the Rep side they could move in Rubio or Walker instead and still be happy on the Dem side they haven't found a replacement for Clinton.
But don't fool yourself those four names are the Status Quo choices

Trump, the moderators and the Fox News Channel all won big last night.

It's easy to see just based on all positive and negative comments in this thread.

Now how long this carries remains to be seen.

As along as everyone keeps talking about Trump he remains relevant.

Yep, it's saying something sad about the average American.
