Donald Trump Throws Twitter Tantrum at Megyn Kelly
“It’s not easy with 10 people debating”, said Jeb Bush, referring to the candidates leading in the polls who were invited to the main debate, seven more participated in a pre-debate forum.
There was no stand out candidate in the first debate of Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential election last night.
For the next two hours, Trump tweeted and retweeted a series of comments about the Fox News moderators, though Kelly was overwhelmingly the target of the rant.
Fox News chairman Roger Ailes defended his moderators, calling it “the best political debate team ever put on television”.
Kelly’s sharp first question noted that Trump had called women he didn’t like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals”.
In Thursday’s debate, Kelly questioned Trump over his history of offensive statements about women. Because our leaders are stupid.
“I thought that Trump had the capability – because of his presentation, because of his persona – to take it up to 30, 35 percent”.
Hannity asked if Trump’s behavior would change for the campaign.
“A portion of the Republican electorate definitely thinks this is important”, says Adrian Carrasquillo.
“I think the big problem this country has being politically correct”.
Staying combative, he said that if Kelly didn’t like it, “I’m sorry”.
I’m watching the GOP debate and all the nominees are stating they would abolish Obamacare, yet none of them has outlined a plan to replace it. Can we get a comprehensive plan from any of them?
“He’s already hedging his bets because he’s used to buying politicians of all stripes”, Paul said.
“The questions to me were far tougher, and that I supposedly – according to what everyone is telling me, and the call-ins and everything, I won”.
That means Fox News was the real victor of the night, as the network usually averages about 1-2 percent of the household audience. “But when you’re talking about a Republican presidential nomination, when these people want to defeat Hillary Clinton, that’s not the language, that’s not the strategy, that’s just not what they want to hear”.
At one point in the debate, Paul and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie exchanged barbs over the balance between security and civil liberties.
