DR. ELOQUENT
This is so funny. Fox has stacked a focus group to assist their "Dump Trump" efforts.
"Fair & Balanced". LOL. Fox News is a total joke.
This is an example of how the media can manipulate political opinion.
Krauthammer--finally, a smart person
What?Haha and the focus group likes Ben Carson and mike huckabee this is what's wrong with your party.

Leading 15 months before the election doesn't make him legit. He doesn't have the chops, and this debate showed him for what he was.
Hiesenburg's uncertainty principle as applied to politics: Shine a light on a candidate and you alter his trajectory. FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP TALKING ABOUT TRUMP.
TLDR: Kasich is the best Republican you've got.
You can't argue with Kasich's results, even if his methods were less than savory in Ohio. He's not the social conservative that 7/10 guys on stage were.
And stop calling him a Democrat for fucks sake.
It was a bizarre, but effective, diagnosis of the deep corruption in American politics. Reformers tend to present themselves as blameless. Trump is presenting himself as someone who has so mastered the corruption of American politics that he can be trusted to resist it. Here's the exchange:
Q: You've also supported a host of other liberal policies, you've also donated to several Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton included, Nancy Pelosi. You explained away those donations saying you did that to get business related favors. And you said recently, quote, when you give, they do whatever the hell you want them to do.
TRUMP: You better believe it... I will tell you that our system is broken. I gave to many people. Before this, before two months ago, I was a businessman. I give to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what? When I need something from them, two years later, three years later, I call them. They are there for me. And that's a broken system.
Q: So what did you get from Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi?
TRUMP: I'll tell you what. With Hillary Clinton, I said, be at my wedding and she came to my wedding. You know why? She had no choice! Because I gave.
It's common for politicians to say that Washington is corrupt and broken. But, generally, they tend to portray themselves as blameless. It's always everyone else who's corrupt.
But as Ezra Klein wrote, Donald Trump is a man without shame. He sees no problem in admitting that he tried to buy politicians to benefit himself and his company. And since he so boldly admits that he gave money to get favors out of politicians, his diagnosis of the system as corrupt and broken is more credible. (It also serves as a handy excuse for why he gave to Democrats — in his telling, they're corrupt and he wanted to buy them.)
One of the main themes I've heard from Trump supporters explaining why they support him is their belief that he "can't be bought." And weirdly enough, his frankness about how he himself has tried to buy others helps make this point.
Last post of the night from me: Meghan Kelly's legs are tremendous. That is all.
Thanks for making your last post creepy, Uncle Creepy.
Please stay away from women if you, 1) Cannot comprehend that her name is Megyn Kelly. And 2) Focus on the woman's legs instead of her intellectual thoughts when she is discussing important political issues.
You're an asshole.
Junebug probably likes to focus on the positives about people. Megyn Kelly's legs are much better than her intellectual thoughts.
