Quote:40% of the debate was Trump scandals, 35% attacking Trumps character, 20% attacking Trumps policy, and 5% booger eating.


Crazy to see Kelly prosecute Trump on a civil law case during a debate then ask Trump to balance a budget in 45 seconds. All with nicely prepared power points. Why didn't the rest of the candidates get grilled on their unrealistic policies? Nah, easier to just pit them against Trump.


I will say this. Trump is NOT a good debater. In his defense though, this is what politicians and lawyers live for. While Cruz and Rubio have spent their lives mastering the art of dodging questions, talking points, and deception, Trump was building a business empire.

 

I'll give you this much.  It was pretty clear that FOX News was going after Trump.  The thing is, they were armed with actual facts.  It's kind of tough for Trump to debate actual facts when they come out.  They also went after Rubio as well as Cruz with equally tough questions.  How effective was that?  We will see.

 

I challenge people to actually look up the facts regarding Trump University as well as the hotel that he owns in south Florida.  I suspect that the facts that came out in the debate are probably pretty damaging.  Does Trump really mean what he says?

 

In all honesty, I thought that John Kasich put forth the best and most sensible argument.  I had written him off a long time ago, but he does have a point... actually several points that I agree with.  I'm thinking that he is going to be the eventual "dark horse" in the race.

 

At any rate, the bottom line is selecting a candidate that can beat Hillary Clinton in the general election.  I don't think that Trump can do it, but any of the other three contenders can.
