All questions which didn’t lend themselves to good give and take DEBATE amongst the candidates, certainly including the Trump misogynist question. How about the goofy question, “Does God speak to you?” It was disgusting.
P.S. Interestingly, a serious question asked to Trump about his former support for single payer caused the Donald to stumble badly. :rolleyes:

The Republican Nominee will have to run against the democrats claim the republicans have declared a war ion women. Given that shouldn’t the republican candidate for President have to explain his referring to woman as ugly, or fat or bimbos, etc? Do you really think his democrat opponent will ignore this?

A professional journalist is supposed to report the news, not make the news and become part of it. By making false accusations and becoming part of the news, Megyn Kelly has acted unprofessionally.

What accusations did she make that were false?
 
RACJ said:
But Bob, was the question to Trump a DEBATE question? Megyn could have interviewed Trump at any time and asked this. Overall, I thought that this forum was dominated by the “journalists”, and as I stated above, it shed very little light upon the issues which will dominate America in the imminent future. :mad: Rob

P.S. I AM NOT A TRUMP SUPPORTER. 😃

Not only that, but why are the moderator’s opinions even injected into the question? Just ask the question, don’t start with your opinion “abortion has save so many women’s lives, why are you against it?”
 
RACJ said:
Who says that Kelly and Wallace are conservatives? Not I. My problem is not that the questions were all “stupid” (although some were), but that I wanted to hear the candidates banter back and forth about issues. This foolish talk today about Donald’s alleged misogyny and Megyn’s bleeding sites are irrelevant distractions from serious problems. And Democrats are crowing from their self-imposed coccoons. :doh2: Rob

I did not say that Kelly and Wallace are conservatives. I said they asked questions that many conservatives want to know. And I do think the term “debate” is incorrect. It was more an interview than a debate.

ABSOLUTELY I think that Trump should have to explain himself, but not in a DEBATE forum, Bob. Trump has been available to many interviewers, and one of these settings is where the issue should be settled. Anyway, the REAL war on women HAS been carried out by the Obama regime. Women, blacks and other minorities have been devastated by Obamanomics, even moreso than the rest of us. :cool:

I am at a loss as to why this topic shouldn’t be explored in a debate?
 
Trump may make the pledge not to run 3rd party, should his campaign suffer a setback currently, this might help him. Again, he’s not my 1st or 2nd choice at least, but he does set people thinking, this doesn’t mean I would not support him in circumstances.

Eric Erickson is one he called “loser”, Lindsay Graham he called an “idiot”.

So we can say Trump has called men “loser” and “idiot”.

:aok:

So, let’s not forget, some of these same people have likewise, used name calling.

Not that it is becoming.

Isn’t the purpose of a debate among candidates,to discuss policies,their platforms?All to give the voters a window into where they stand on important issues?If we are going to be intellectually consistent,love or hate or whatever your opinion of Trump may be,the opening questions directed towards him,really had nothing to offer in terms of other candidates debating these topics.It was clearly an attempt by MK,Fox news,to call the Donald out on his behavior.Not pertinent to the debate. Those of you who persist in defending MK shoddy performance,would most likely be screaming foul if this happened on a more liberal venue.Also,any of your pet candidates had been attacked in a similar way.Again,most everyone who is put off by this whole DT incident,do not particularly care for him or want him as a candidate,he just wasn’t treated fairly.

It’s not a debate topic. How should others have responded, other than with boring boilerplate pandering, telling the audience how much THEY love and respect women? :sleep:
 
It is a bit seedy admittedly but I understand the “knees” bit, was started by some ex-Playboy bunny on the set, so in other words, it’s not like Trump just came out with saying that. There is a lead up to that.

Where’s this fantasy world where “fairness” factors into presidential primaries and debates? These things are designed to ambush candidates and fish for “gotcha” moments and embarrassing soundbites. It’s how the process is designed. Trump, a man who more than any other personality thrives on media manipulation, should have known what he was getting into.

Nice job editing out most of my post,which by the way ,focused on my reasons for objecting to the insipid questions hurled at DT. Those comments on my post explain fully my reasons for believing he was treated unfairly.This wasn’t a debate is was a focused effort to get rid of Trump.
 
The thing is, from a few articles written, it’s not just a few folks, Trump supporters, out there watching the debate that think it was a sort of ambush.

Todd Starnes, Fox Radio questioned it as have a number of other journalists.

Now, Michael Savage I might not pay much attention to saying this or Mark Levin (I believe both have said such) but when fairly mainstream voices say this, that lends some credence that the questions were not ordinary.

My own view, is the questions or question may have been “slightly out of the norm”.
 
I think this is crazy when you look at what Republicans get from the mainstream media. If you don’t think the left will go after Trump on the woman issue you are hallucinating. I think Fox was deliberately trying to give the candidates a taste of rough waters ahead. Helping them in fact. Why is Fox under any obligation to “be nice” to Trump; shouldn’t he of all people be able to handle flak responsibly? Can he handle flak responsibly and effectively? I don’t think we have a very encouraging answer to that question.

Please. Even if this was a hit job–which I’m not convinced it was–it was laughably minor.

Both Bush and Obama were/are roasted over the coals to a much more severe extent on a regular basis. If Trump can’t handle minor pressure in a debate without imploding and nurturing a persecution complex, then how is he going to deal with having to do the same thing every week? The Washington press corps will eat him alive.

You are missing the point.How was asking DT if his alleged attitude and BTY taken out of context comments towards women ,made him unsuitable as a presidential candidate?How were the others’ on the debTe stage supposed to weigh in on that question.It had nothing to do with the real life issues at hand that Mose viewers were interested in hearing about.DT comments about women would have been better left for a future one on one interview,not a debate forum.Why is that so hard to grasp?
