very nice speech
As someone who does not watch cable, satellite or broadcast TV, I do not watch Fox News. However, I've managed one way or another to watch the fox debates. Also, my new car has Sirius, so I have been listening to Fox News and FN Business on and off on the radio (eg, voice track of the TV show). For about 10 weeks. Here's what I've concluded.
All the Fox News guys and girls talk like they'd like to get Trump out of the running. All of them. Period.
Seems like that's just the way it is. But the primaries are going to him fast and hard.
Let's just see what happens.

The more garbage media bashes Trump the more popular he gets. Very promising. America will be so much better off when nobody at all whatsoever in the land takes garbage media seriously.
First Read: Why Donald Trump Won the Debate Without Showing Up - NBC News
DES MOINES, IA -- Earlier this week, we wrote that Donald Trump's decision not to attend Thursday's GOP debate could be a brilliant tactical move -- or a disastrous one. Well, after watching the two hours of debate last night, it was clearly the former. Why? We can count three reasons:
His closest competition had a bad night: The man who's his closest competition in Iowa, Ted Cruz, had maybe his worst debate performance of the cycle. And a lot of it was due to the fact that he -- not Trump -- was the candidate with the target on his back. Marco Rubio went after Cruz, hard. So did Rand Paul. But it was Cruz who also did himself no favors by trying to win an interruption contest with co-moderator Chris Wallace (and lost) and who attacked the moderators' questions like he did at the CNBC debate (but was booed in the process). Cruz got his taste of being the frontrunner, and he struggled. The Des Moines Register's front page sums it up: "Rough Night for Cruz."
He got to skip Fox's brutal video montage: Trump also won by not showing up because he avoided getting the same kind of brutal video montage that Fox News showed first on Rubio (with his past statements vowing to fight amnesty and an earned path to legalization -- before backing the Gang of Eight immigration bill), and then on Cruz (on supporting immigration reform and a path to legal status). It was evidence to Iowa conservatives that NO ONE is going to get to Trump's right on the issue of immigration.
And he got to sit on his lead in Iowa with three days to go: Given it all, Trump got to protect his lead in Iowa and in the other early contests. Now it's still possible that Trump could lose Iowa - due to turnout -- but it won't be because of last night's debate. When you think about it, what we all thought was Trump's gamble turned into the safest move for someone with the lead.

If Trump is good enough, he doesn't have to join the debates to win.
We'll see.

Donald Trump sidelined as rivals debate without Republican frontrunner
Donald Trump found himself sidelined for the first time from a televised presidential debate on Thursday, ceding the stage to his Republican opponents in a high-stakes gamble less than three days before the Iowa caucuses.
As seven candidates lined up on the Fox News debate stage in Des Moines, Trump hosted a rival event, ostensibly to raise money for veterans, on the other side of town, broadcast simultaneously on competing networks.
The absence of the Republican frontrunner from the main stage in Iowa led to a debate unusually focused on policy, free of the usual personal swipes and, by the end of the two hours, the Trump-less debate appeared to have emboldened his rivals.
Texas senator Ted Cruz claimed the mantle of the frontrunner on stage, complaining that other candidates – and moderators – were targeting him. Florida senator Marco Rubio put in a spirited and enthusiastic showing, while his one-time ally Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, had one of his strongest performances to date.
Meanwhile, less than three miles away, Trump appeared on stage for his veterans event with a devil-may-care attitude. “Will I get more votes? Will I get less votes?” Trump said of his decision to withdraw from the main debate. “Nobody knows. Who the hell knows?”

Introducing the Upshot’s Encyclopedia of Donald Trump’s Twitter Insults
The mixed martial arts fighter Ronda Rousey is “not a nice person.” The golf swing of the actor Samuel L. Jackson is “not athletic.” A lectern in the Oval Office “looks odd,” and the mobile carrier T-Mobile’s service “is terrible.”
These comments are not private thoughts, nor are they the result of an embarrassing hidden camera, an off-the-record comment or a document release. They are public statements made by Donald Trump to his 5.9 million Twitter followers.
We know this because we’ve read, tagged and quoted them all.
The end result is “Donald Trump’s Twitter Insults: The Complete List (So Far).” It’s not a sample of some insults, or just those about his political rivals — though plenty of those exist. It’s the full count — a 100 percent sample, in polling terms — representing our best effort to categorize more than 4,000 tweets Mr. Trump has made since he declared his candidacy in June 2015.
Of those, we found that one in every eight was a personal insult of some kind.
Perhaps most predictable is Mr. Trump’s propensity to insult other presidential candidates, both Republicans and Democrats. (In Mr. Trump’s words, John Kasich is a “dummy” and Rick Perry “should be forced to take an IQ test.”)
But what is particularly fascinating is just how personal these jabs are. Yes, Bernie Sanders attacks bankers and George H.W. Bush accused Michael Dukakis of being unpatriotic. But there’s something different about Mr. Trump’s style and sheer volume of insult-throwing.

Kelly should not be allowed to moderate the next GOP debate, Clearly she has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Trump. It was evident when she singled him out and aggressively attacked him during the last debate. Truthfully, it turned me off. I no longer watch her show, nor will I in the future. There were far more important questions to ask.
As the leader in the polls by a wide margin, Trump is going to get singled out in debates and his abrasive spoiled rich kid personality is fair game for discussion.
That's a good thing for him, because he gets more time to talk.
Unless he's afraid of being held accountable, I cannot fathom any reason for missing an opportunity to spend the evening chatting with Megyn Kelly.
THINGS DONALD TRUMP IS AFRAID OF:
1. BALD EAGLES
2. MEGYN KELLY
3. DRAFT NOTICES
4. ACCOUNTABILITY
Do you think Fox should have changed the debate moderator instead of just exclude Trump ?
In a way that would show weakness and favoritism to Trump (since in a way they did what he wanted), but they would have a lot more audience and the debate would be more interesting.

On a stage with several experienced candidates debating their way into the favor of the public, the winner was....Megyn Kelly.
Kelly, the Fox News anchor and lightning rod for Donald Trump's hate, came into Thursday night's debate under plenty of pressure. Not that you could have sensed it.
Debuting a sleek, powerful new look, Kelly's moderation of the Republican presidential debate on Fox News drew widespread accolades, particularly for hard-hitting questions directed at candidates' positions.

can someone please make Trump-Altcoin,

Who the hell takes this bimbo that acts like whore, seriously anyway?
Donald for one obviously takes Megyn Kelly seriously. He ran away like a coward when faced with the prospect of being confronted by her in public, where she was certain to cut him a new Trumphole.
What presidential material! (And by that I of course mean MK.)
Please Miss Megan, don't hurt Donald too bad! He's just a poor little rich boy and doesn't know any better.

Megyn Kelly didn't complain about Donald "objectifying women."
Do you even understand what "objectifying" means in that context?
You are confusing misogyny ("bleeding out of her...whatever") with objectification. Totally different things.
Good luck with your 'dipshits for Trump' campaign.
This moron evidently thinks that everyone that posts a picture on the internet just made that picture themselves, hahahahahaha

You can't even get the story straight. Better take some journalism lessons from Miss Megyn.
This is what she said (note the absence of complaints about "objectifying women").

“I’ll continue doing my job without fear or favor,” Fox News host says
Megyn Kelly fired back at Donald Trump who refuses to apologize for criticism he levied against the Fox News host after last Thursday’s GOP presidential debate.
“Trump, who is the frontrunner, will not apologize, and I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism. So I’ll continue doing my job without fear or favor,” Kelly said on Monday’s episode of “The Kelly File.”
“And Mr. Trump, I suspect, will continue with what has been a successful campaign thus far,” the host continued. “This is a tough business, and it’s time now to move forward.”
She called Trump an “interesting man who has captured the attention of the electorate — that’s why he’s leading in the polls.”
Kelly’s comments come after Trump claimed he was unfairly treated by her during the debate when asked to defend previous comments about women being “fat pigs, dogs and disgusting animals.”
