I left this site and read my emails and found articles which indicate despite the debate and despite Red State's dis-inviting Trump to be their keynote speaker he still remains at the top of the polls.

I also read to my dismay Michael Savages comments about Megan Kelly which I believe were below the belt . Clearly the left fears Kelly and anyone they fear they work to destroy. The hate that generates from them poisons the atmosphere. People such as Mike Savage eat themselves alive.

I may be alone, and perhaps things might change but I feel like I am living in a nightmare.

The Republican party by and large had some great candidates for President for 2016. Opportunity presented itself.

Donald Trump is bringing this party to its knees.

I am someone who very seldom agree with our current President and does not hold back on here expressing those views loud and clear.

I must caution all of you getting caught up in whatever this man is selling that you are risking what for 6 years you have said you wanted.

You voted in a man with unrealistic promises in 2008
You voted in a man with a great ability to speak to many emotions in 2008
You voted in a man who wanted it HIS way and had no respect for congress at all in 2008
You voted in a man who verbally attacked anyone who disagreed with him in 2008.

And you were unhappy and sad and scared.

You now are supporting the same kind man without the skill set to communicate even at the basest levels.
You now are supporting the same kind of man with no public filter whatsoever.

He is NOT going to build that wall if congress does not fund it

He is NOT going to send all immigrants out in buses.

He is a blowhard of the nth degree.

Frankly he is robbing future leaders with the party to have their say or make their case and doing it in the most crass manner.

Frankly until he is gone, I am out of this politics stuff.

He is using you all for his own ego stroking. Yes he says things, in the crassest most crude manner that you may like....he is using people and I find it sad.

This is not politics any longer. It is simply one of those realities shows and I need to get off this bus, because it is like reading a very very bad B novel.

The good young people are simply being talked over, their ideas and thoughts being lost by a man who has no vision except to call everyone an idiot.

I am just tired of him, the media and those who are being led on by this rude and very unsophisticated man.

Dear Guest: None of what you say was lost on me. I seem to be the only one that believes Megan hit below the belt given the disagreement I get with people I know in The Villages including my wife. Although I did say if they wanted Trump at that debate they knew he was all about attitude and not substance so they should have stayed with questions that demanded specificity. But knowing his methods Megan hit him with a personal assault and he assaulted back. Perhaps that was what she and others wanted?

I say this because Rush Limbaugh wrote that he believed big GOP donors got to Fox News and hence the Kelly, Baier and Wallace???

I am not defending Trump. I do not like Trump. I believe he will self destruct. I like Megan Kelly because she is good at firing away at hard fisted questions but that one question disappointed me especially since he has a good reputation in his dealings with women who work with and/or for him .

Its one thing to ask a candid about their belief system ( abortion, religion, family, etc) quite another to attack their character .

Again I really like Carly and Marco and suspect that Carly will be a very formidable candidate against Hillary Clinton.

Personal Best Regards:

You are not alone because I too thought that Megan Kelly's question was out of line and in poor taste. i really like her and just thought it wasn't very classy and a poor way to start the debate. That's why in a previous post I said that the earlier debate was on a more professional level while this one was more for entertainment purposes, almost tabloid like with it starting like that. Btw, I am a female, if that means anything to anyone, and just didn't think the question was appropriate for the occasion.

In saying that, I am not a big Trump supporter for President, but do admire his accomplishments. He also seems to have done a lot right family-wise when you consider his children. i also believe him when he says that he hires a lot of women and places them in high positions. I just think for someone of such influence he really should learn to temper his speech and his reactions......but then again, we all have our faults.

I am a Canadian and so cannot vote but I did watch the debate with great interest and I do care what happens to America as all of my kids and grandchildren live here. My question about Trump is this... do you want the finger of a self-centred ego maniac on the red button in a time of crisis?

Why were the questions out of line ?

He has a long history of publicly insulting women, and men, but in particular women. If any other candidate had such a record, would not they be asked about that ?

He threatened, on his own, if not treated well, he will run as a third party candidate. If any other candidate had made that threat, would not that be an issue ?

What other candidate turns on the reporter or moderator, publicly and insulting which simply validates the reason for the debate question.

You folks supporting this mean spirited, egoist wit a foul public mouth and has no idea how to even broach the subject of an apology are scaring me.

You are allowing serious minded people with ideas on policy to be total drowned out.

I understand his verbiage can be attractive, but will it be in all areas ?

He is setting the bar to bully the press to never ask him a tough question.

I sure hope this is not what you want.

If ever there will be actually policies, maybe I change. Right now he is crass, rude, self serving, and he never once responded to a question during the debate.

Donald Trump is not saying anything that the other candidates aren't saying. He's just getting the most attention for saying them.

They all want to build a wall, it's just a question of who's wall will be bigger and better.

Trump has alienated blacks, Hispanics, women, veterans, but he still has other groups to go after before he's finished.

Republicans have aligned themselves with Trump, now they reap what they sow.

I could not disagree more with you......

HOWEVER....

the reason I am so upset with what Trump has brought is exactly what you are doing.

Making Trump the spokesman for my party will not work, but I keep warning those in love with his rhetoric that this is what you can expect.

Putting Trump's words into the other candidates mouths and assigning them to the party is going to happen.

I am telling you, he will bring down the 2016 election and those serious candidates are just going to be hurt by him.

The post I am responding to is going to build in crescendo, and while it is not correct, it is going to get worse. All you talk of is Trump...no mention of the other candidates, etc.

So many have been taken down by one comment or so in both sides, and this man who blames everyone else for his faults, consistently steps over the line with his mouth gets your attention ?

Just a warning about where this is going...Ms. Clinton today jumped on the bandwagon, and perhaps that is why this post, but she has begun to put SOME SELECTED Trump comments on the party and the other candidates.

Just be careful.

Trump is going to run as a third party candidate. His ego will not allow him to accept the fact that the majority of Republicans don't want him as their nominee. He is going to blame the Republican National Committee for not treating him fairly. Nothing is ever his fault. It is always the other person that is wrong.

Guest 08-11-2015 06:41 AM

Trump has got the media and Dems totally fooled. He will bow out in a few months, taking his tax exemption, laughing as the Dems were concentrating on him and disregarding their flanks. Hillary was quoted last night, saying Trump was not the concern, that Rubio was the one to worry about. She knows that she won't be dealing with Trump. Why? Because Trump in hedging his bets and playing both sides. Trump has no reason to run a third party when he knows he would lose. I doubt he was intending on doing as well as he is currently.
