When will the GOP learn to NEVER debate in the MSM

    Every question is belittling or aimed at starting fights between the candidates .....

    This is horrendous. Notice whenever they go to commercial, they run the replays of the fights. It's pathetic.

    Trump is in the lifeboat and the rest are shoving each other under trying to climb in.

    There will be attrition in a few weeks.

    What a train wreck for the party.

    I expect that there many Canadians munching on popcorn watching this with amusement.
     
  5. What bothers me is Trump is pledging to go PC. He says if I say a bad word they crucify me, so from now on I will be good. So, another victory and one more casuality for PC.
     
  6. It gets even better if you watch the CNN postgame show. Now they are crucifying Trump for using the "L word" I kid you not, that is what they are calling it. "It's ok to say someone is not factual but you can't use the L word." Ok, so CNN is now setting the PC rules for 2016.
     
  7. Such whining here. You guys do realize, of course, that a debate is an adversarial forum and not a rally where all the participants sing in harmony about the evils of Hillary, right? They are competing against each other. As for the questions, they were predicated upon what the candidates had previously said, either about each other or the issues. So then, who did the "belittling" first?

    You guys want the moderators to give them all prizes just for showing up, and to give them air time to grieve about the evils of Democrats rather than to be held accountable for what they said, to take the fight to each other, and to distinguish themselves from their Republican rivals on the stage for the nomination. Either you guys are wimps or you don't really believe your candidates are ready for prime time.

    I can't recall being more entertained at any sort of political gathering. Will there be another soon? I hope so. I'll invite friends and serve hors d'oeuvres and cocktails.

    I'd rather see a debate on Issues. Instead of asking one candidate a question, have each list their respective platforms answer to a specific topic.

    Last night the questions were baited, either in an attempt to trip the candidate or to cause conflict. I don't recall seeing anything even close to that in the Dems debate.

    Please let Hillary and Sanders debate on Fox with Fox Mods and let me know when its going to Air. Ask for blue-boy, I'll be in the corner holding my breath in wait.
