Quote: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.

 

No they didn't.  Marco Rubio supports the Transpacificpartnership.  This is a partnership that was negotiated at levels so secret members of congress couldn't even take copies of the bill home with them or make notes.  This is a document that has the potential to surrender portions of our sovereignty to an international body of countries similar to the EU and i haven't heard an explanation or defense from Rubio about it.  If this debate or any debate was really about facts and reason then we would be spending 20 minutes at minimum flushing this out.  


 

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?

 

 

 

As for the ACTUAL FACTS that Fox News came up with to go after Trump, its kind of disingenuous when you think about it.  

 

Chris Wallace had this amazing graphic about the budget trying to imply that Donald Trump doesn't know what he's talking about because the first year budget won't balance based on the cuts he proposes.  Unfortunately for Chris, I haven't heard Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Hillary Clinton or any other candidate for President assert that they will be able to balance the budget for Fiscal Year 2017.  It was a nice graphic, it looked like a gotcha moment but the fundamental premise of the Question was incorrect.  

 

1.) the fact that cutting entire departments from the Federal government wouldn't immediately bring the budget into balance speaks to the general incompetence of Politicians, not Trump.  

 

2.) Trump has expressed support for the Penny Plan.  That means that you cut one penny out of every dollar the government spends and in 6 years the budget balances.  He has also said that there could be targeted cuts of greater than 1% in certain areas and eliminating certain departments all together.  

 

Meghan Kelly also did a lot of research on Trump University, she had court fillings, and quotes, and all the rest.  Looks official, sounds official.  It also helps to remember that she left out the fact that the lead Plantiff Submitted a letter recanting her complaint, and that the better business Bureau re-rated Trump University at an A level.  I could mention the fact that the student population feels so ripped off by the traditional university system that they were willing to support a 74 year old soviet socialist to make other people pay off their debt but i digress.  

 

Sales training is hard.  It doesn't guarantee success and there is almost always someone who feels cheated because they didn't get the results they thought they would get from the course.  Unless there was some situation where they paid for a class and there literally was no class i chalk it up to that.  at the time of completion of the course 98% of people said it was helpful.  

 

And its amazing that people say that Trump is too weak a candidate to compete against the Rape defender but the other three options aren't strong enough to overtake him.  Kind of interesting logic isn't it?

 

Also, the guy that doesn't have the ball usually comes out the cleanest.  If you think in a general election setting there isn't enough opposition research about being a managing director at the investment bank that almost ended capitalism (Really...  like the whole thing) then good luck with that.  At least he hasn't made any off color jokes.
