Was Trump sabotaged by big Republican donors/GOP Establishment at Thursday's debate? Its clear that non of the other nine candidates went after Trump and in my vie to their credit. Did Fox News correspondents Kelly, Baier and Wallace show a disdain for Trump and as such followed their orders from GOP donors/Establishment to bury him then and now? Did Fox hit below the belt with some of their questions directed at Trump? Was Eric Erickson's dis-invite to Trump over alleged mistreatment of Kelly to Red State on Saturday a continuation of the effort by GOP to shun Trump? And will it hurt Trump? or GOP?

Trump he did not get rich by not playing close to the vest and hedging his bets. And quite frankly there is nothing he said that surprised me. In fact I understan that he wants the GOP Establisment's blessing and he wants the Republican nomination.

He said if he did not get the GOP nomination and liked the GOP nominee he would support that person but if he could not support the GOP nominee he would go 3rd party. So is his concern sincere? Does Trump's claim that he loves America real or is it Political fodder? We don;t know and that is the rub. Here are some thoughts for discussion:

Is Trump the trojan horse for Hillary?

Is he out for Trump alone and he doesn't care which party affiliation gets him to the White House?

Is he playing a huge financial game posturing and positioning himself to capitalize on the next administration by staking out strategic positions now domestically and foreign and using the presidential candidacy for to ensure gets to inner circles?

I like Megan Kelly, Bret Baier but I believe they hit below the belt when it came to Donald Trump with what I considered tabloid journalism. if they want Trump they knew he is only about attitude and not substance and they could have challenged him on more specificity thus demonstrating to the voter that while he is entertaining he would not be effective in the White House

Meggan Kelly was a favorite but she did disappoint me during this debate.
