Yes, it was, and it was shameful. This was because of instructions from Murdoch to take Trump out. Disgusting.

Nope, but he was asked about calling women on twitter fat pigs, you know the questions that really matter

He gave his answer on ISIS during a recent interview. He said to defeat ISIS we need to cut off their money supply and we can do this by bombing the oil plants that were taken over by ISIS, once the region is taken back we can have American oil companies go in and rebuild.

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!
Of course he does but they can't be answered in one minute replies. He'll have to come up with specifics at some point but one minute doesn't provide the time.

And I give him credit for having the guts to tell the truth knowing it was a set up question. The power brokers don't want him there and want him out and that question was a prime example that they might not give him a fair shot at winning the spot that they are pimping Bush,Rubio or Walker for

Rand Paul somehow picked up and slammed down the hippo (Christie). And of course they aren't asking him any questions. He got the least airtime, that is not fair and balanced.

Trump got my support still, I don't like Fox bullying tactics.

It backfired, it made Trump look honest and open. Even if you didn't like his answer you knew he was sincere about it. Most of the other candidates would have just lied if they were put in that position.

I found Trump to be pretty substanceless and the least intelligent of the candidates. The pissed off, childish insult schtick is getting old. I will say it was slimy of Fox to focus on making Trump look bad.
