Obama is the most mean spirited politician I've seen in my lifetime and republicans in the name of being statesman like was being walked all over. Obama brought the office down to the gutter. It's about time Republicans start getting mean spirited.

All three moderators asked excellent questions. The travesty was no candidate had enough time in this debate. The network MUST whittle the pack down to 8 or less next time.

I had to laugh when Trump said he bought politicians, Hillary included.

The real loser last night was Fox. Millions who never watch that channel tuned in because of the Trump attraction. What they witnessed was a carefully orchestrated attempt by the moderators to pump up certain candidates and tear down others. The whole affair dripped with bias. Megyn Kelly was the worst, but they all had a hand in the conspiracy. Pretty sad TV.

If mentioning it is inappropriate during a debate, shouldn't it be considered inappropriate in any context?

Seems to me that was Ms Kelly's point.

Have to say, I am fascinated by all of those attacking her for calling Trump out on his well-documented misogyny.
I mean, how dare she remind viewers of his utter boorishness.
How ever will his shining reputation remain intact?

If that was her only beef with Trump she would have likely scored points. It was obvious that her only goal was to make Trump look bad. That's not her job.

As Stossel would say, "give me a break" of course they showed some bias last night, aren't all news people biased in one way or the other, but I guess for you, being biased to the left is acceptable.

Rubio did very well. He was serious and answered questions clearly, offsetting the previous criticism he is too young and inexperienced to be president.

Jeb and Ben did well near the end of the debate, after starting very slowly.

Kasich is the candidate with the most impressive resume and I suspect he did the best, in terms of name recognition, as few voters even knew who he was.

Sorry folks.
don't feel sorry, it's your opinion.

I was actually pleasantly surprised with the debate as an independent who leans democrat.

For me these would be my winners and my losers. Winners are those who made a positive impression, losers those who dissapointed me

Winners: Kasich, Carson, Paul(I like some of his principles), Rubio

Losers:
The Donald: never fails to dissapoint me with his conspiracy theories
Bush his answers sucked especially the ones about his brothers
Cruz: annoying voice but I give him credit for having a more reasonable illegal immigration plan
Walker: his abortion views are too extreme
Christie I don't like his views about surveillance programs and I hated his bullying tactics
Huckabee was he there?

People are tired of the politically correct bs and labels. You call him a woman hater? Where is the proof? No Trump just defends himself when he is attacked by trolls.
It's not often I see someone defend a man who called women "dogs" and worse. Nice.

If his behavior is/was so acceptable, why all the hate for Kelly for calling him on it?

Methinks, she touched a bit of a nerve.

None of these bozos will make a good president and neither will Hillary.

People who can get things done don't seem to run for president.

Our country is really in a rut if these candidates are the best running for office.
TEll us, who do you think should be elected President? Do you have some bright ideas or do you think we should just appoint someone?
