That much is obvious.

They're part of the GOP establishment, so Jeb is their boy.

It doesn't appear that they did any favors to Jeb on Thursday.

As far as Trump, do you believe Trump was treated unfairly? Perhaps Kelly's question about when he actually became a Republican was too confrontational for you, for some reason.

I have never seen a debate with so much bias against one candidate. FOX really blew it. Not only did they single out Trump and attack him, they also staged a session after the debate which was specifically designed to discredit Trump. As usual, these attacks back fired and only brought more attention to Trum, which he welcomes.

And now GOP, high on political correctness, disinvited Trump from a GOP event because Trump is too politically incorrect for them.

Intentional, or unintentional, Trump is exposing a lot or hypocrisy and bias with FOX and the GOP in general.

Leftists pumping for Trump! Too funny.

And here is a link to the disinvitation of Donald Trump to the Red State gathering (Redstate.com) by Erick Ericson:

Hillary and Jeb are the establishment choices. Given that Hillary seems to be sinking my bet would be that Jeb is the chosen one of the puppet masters, although even with Hillary they still have a win/win. She'd just be more trouble and less able to sell what they want to do.
Trump is either a fly in the ointment, or he's sold out and will throw the election the way they want it to go.
Hillary or another Bush. My God, we've had the last 7 terms of the same regime and now they want another 4 or 8 or 12 on top of that. Then I guess little Chelsea or a Bush grandchild will be old enough to be installed.

Wrong on both accounts. I do not support Trump, or leftists.

It is telling people are OK with this kind of treatment of a candidate. It is a corrupt mindset.

Hillary has zero chance. Even if there was a 3rd party spoiler, she would still lose. 2016 is all about finding a Republican president.

Jeb Bush seems to he the chhosen one, but not the best one. He lacked confidence in the debate. Huckabee, in the other hand, did fairly well and showed strong principles and a lot of experience.

Yoy could say they brought a sharpened edge to blunt Trump. Trump was unfairly targeted. You might as well say he was treated like a minority or muslim on Fox News.

He is being vetted in a responsible manner.

I would contrast Trump's treatment with the horrifically misogynistic treatment that Sarah Palin received from you people, including the media, in 2008. Nobody directly involved in a run for the presidency has ever been treated worse.

He is being targeted and attacked by FOX and GOP because because he is a huge inconvenience to the party. It is clear he will never be a president, but this kind of treatment is making things worse for both FOX and GOP.
