Trump did not get rich by not playing close to the vest and hedging his bets. And quite frankly there is nothing he says that surprises me. In fact I understand he wants the Republican Establishment's blessing and he wants the Republican nomination. He said if he did not get the nomination and liked the GOP nominee he would support that nominee, but if he did not like the GOP nominee he would go 3rd party. So is his concern for what's best for America sincere or is it political fodder? We don;t know and that is the rub. consider further
Is he the trojan horse for Hillary?
Is he out for Trump only and would accept the president nomination from any party affiliation who will support him?
GOP donors/Establishment are making no secret that they want him out . I suspect it was large donors and GOP Establishment that pushed Fox news to attack him Thursday.
Is he playing a huge financial game posturing positioning himself to capitalize on contacts domestically and foreign staking out strategic positions now for his future dealings?
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 wanted Trump they knew he is about attitude and not substance and they could have challenged him more on specificity to show that he is about bumper sticker slogans and has no detailed plans.
One thing is clear to me Hillary Clinton will been bought by foreign continue the failed policies of Obama many of which she shared responsibility. Worse yet via Clinton charitable foundation she has been bought by foreign influence. And even worse yet her dealings from the days in Arkansas to Benghazi to her private e-mail server and her Clinton Charitable Foundation speak very poorly of her character and trustworthiness which means if voters can't trust her neither will the people she deals with here and abroad

I usually agree with you, but I do not think the moderators hit below the belt with Trump in anyway.
They asked questions of each candidate which was at some point that they considered a weak point....see Rubio on abortion for one example.
Trump has NO policies.....NO proposals and his personna is his mouth.
Women and women rights, etc have been in the news. He was famous for his attitude toward women well before this debate, thus the question was fair. If it were only based on the O'donnel thing, you might have a point but he would not shut up long enough for you to hear the follow up about other statements he made.
I think they should have been a bit rougher on him.
Tabloid ? That is the only thing to ask him about as that is what he is about.
Romney was asked about bullying in middle school....Obama was grilled on Kenya....Santorum has been grilled on his family attitude....Huckabee on his christianity....AND none of them attacked the moderator, over and over.
If you notice, if you disagree with him, you will be attacked. That is not an indicator of the question but he does not like to be put on the spot.
Someone has to put him on the spot even more and have him explain HOW he will do all he says he will do. Followups on many of the candidates were HOW. Not with him.
No...I am sorry...I think they are handling him with kid gloves.
He was asked early on for PROOF of what he says about Mexican Immigrants and proceeded to say after a lot of yelling that he talked to a border patrol and they told him and everyone is stupid.
He was asked about his wanting a single payer system in the past and he said not one word about that in his response. He went on a tirade about the middle east and at one time said the insurance companies were making millions on Obamacare (TRUE) AND that was it. No substance at all.
AND HE criticized the question..a question about his change of heart on single payer.
He was asked about the top Iranian General going to Russia and in his response he never even mentioned that. He spoke of the Iran deal with a joke about if it were a stock.
I do not feel he made any attempt to answer any questions and I think he is a total embarrassment. I also, while I understand how his rhetoric is popular, think people better start thinking about hearing from people who can do things and not a bragging big talking guy who has not a clue about anything.
