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.
He is a rude, obnoxious, irresponsible, self promoting huckster. Which is why so many on the left like him so much. He is not a credible candidate, and the left enjoys making fun of him.
Let him explain and defend the obnoxious and irresponsible conduct that has characterized him throughout his entire life. Other than for your amusement purposes, why should he not be expected to explain and defend his actions?
Trump is acting like a child about his questions during the debate and ridiculous regarding Ms. Kelly. How would Trump act if he had a conflict with a world leader who pissed him off? Name call, tweet insults, and throw a toddler fit?
Trump is not presidential material and anyone who thinks he is beyond my comprehension.
Being politically corrective and insulting are two different things. He could have just owned up to the fact that he sometimes says disrespectful or insulting things people. I'm starting to see he can't self reflect at all.
The thing is though, he did not say anything insulting other than his opinion of her as unprofessional. The remarks he is being booted for are in the mind of the listeners. They are inferring them from an unfinished sentence. Really, he could have come right out and said "that b**ch was on the rag" if that is what he meant. Get your mind out of the gutter.
These debates should be tough. These are candidates for President of the United States, not a local PTA. I want to see the candidates under pressure. I want to see them mussed up after a shot or two. Someone will have to deal with Putin and Xi Jinping and the ayatollah of Iran and the mess this administration will leave behind...the last thing we need is another Obama.
Then hopefully Candy Crowley won't be "moderator" again. You know, because she was so "unbiased" last time...

We do like making fun of him, but it is your side that is supporting him, so why are half your comments about the left ???????
I was pretty dissatisfied with the debate. Mainly because this wasn't a debate. It was a Q and A. And of course that's all it was, 10 candidates on the stage each getting to talk for a minute and a half, all being asked different questions and most not even being able to touch on every subject, what else would it be?
The Democratic debate has more potential. Considering they have half as many people running as the GOP had for their big debate, there's a chance this will be a proper debate.
Will CNN ask tough questions, which I agree, the moderators for the GOP debate asked tough questions, except for that last one about 'which of you has spoken to God' which is an absurd question to ask, I'm a bit more skeptical of CNN will be tough. They might expect more straightforward answer is we're lucky. The Republicans got away with so many non-answers. And I'll chalk that up to there were 10 of them and they had a minute to speak, but if that crap happens again, I will not be so forgiving. As I will feel with the Democrats if this happens with 5 people. I know Hillary will dodge the questions; I just hope the others don't.
It was a " Meet and Greet".
Despite Trump's post " debate" attack on the mods and Fox News, he got twice the time as Rand Paul.

It certainly is not what they were led to expect from the left leaning media.
From the New York Times:
Fox set the standard during this debate for how moderators should approach candidates that they are frequently charged with aligning themselves with.
So will the left leaning venues like CNN and MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC challenge the Democratic candidates with the same level of aggressiveness? Will they "bring a sharpened edge to the [Democratic] debate stage"? Or will the Democratic debates be T-ball debates:
If these leftist venues do not lay into the Democratic candidates with the same vigor and professional intent that the Fox News moderators did, then we will have all seen once and for all who the partisan shills really are.
I would like for the OP to explain to me what exactly made these sharp or hard questions ?????
The hard questions I saw all fell on ideological lines, " why did you agree with a Democratic policy/support gay marriage/accept the Healthcare expansion" and so on.
Give us an example of what question you saw as hard or sharp. That is all I am asking.
