Fox News Ambush Backfires

Anyone watching the Fox Republican presidential debate last night could see Fox’s agenda from the very first question. The candidates were asked which ones would not make a pledge to support whoever became the Republican nominee. Of course, only one hand went up … Trump’s. The geniuses at Fox knew this. Trump is the only Republican candidate to raise the issue of a third party candidacy.

Fox’s goal from the get go was to make Trump look foolish. But the idea to make him look like the selfish, egotistical, non-team player that he is, unfortunately for Fox and the RNC, backfired. Even non-Trump loyalists thought Trump was unfairly targeted. And while the debate audience booed him lustily, the viewing audience felt only sympathy. In fact, most polls following the debate showed Trump as the winner by large margins.

Here is an unedited thread from an article that appeared today on AOL:

Trump proved tonight he is HIS OWN MAN, and the USA just got the chance of a lifetime to have a strong president who owes no one. Honest government. He deserves a landslide win.

I’m was staunch conservative republican and really like watching Fox news but after last night when that ******* **** Megan Kelly and that Liberal Chris Wallace deliberately went after Trump to shame him, embarrass and tried to dishonor him I will not be watching fox no more for the exception of Hannity and O’reilly. If I was Trump I would tell fox news and the republican party to **** off!

The only way to reclaim our countrys greatness is to have a radical change, and the only one to do that is Trump. As the oath taken by many citizens, includeing the military, it mentions ” enemies both foreign and domestic ” . Our government is infested with DOMESTIC ENEMIES !

If Fox’s stunt turned off some of their viewers, great! If Fox’s ambush of Trump garners him more support, hooray!
