Is it me, or did it seem like they, (Fox), were "out to get" Trump last night? First off, the question Megan Kelly asked him, about calling women names, (in reference to his go around with Rosie O'Donnell some years back), seemed stupid and out of place for a political front runner. And it was the first question she hit him with.
Second, it didn't seem as though he received much air time compared to Bush or even Walker, considering he's leading both by over twice as many percentage points. The questions put to him seemed poorly scripted from a political standpoint. Some downright stupid. His answers were pretty much what he said in most of his campaign speeches. It just seemed as if they were trying to go out of their way to diminish him. Much the same as they did with Ron Paul in the 2012 debates. Don't get me wrong, I thought Paul was a kook like most, but it really seemed like the media, even Fox, went out of their way to make him look as bad as they possibly could.
This makes me wonder if the media, including Fox, is in bed with the established party members. Why for example would they ask right off the bat, if anyone would run independently, and not support the Republican nominee, when they know damn good and well Trump was the only one to even suggest such a thing? They knew it would accomplish nothing but making him look bad. This, even though Trump said he was just keeping the option open to him. As he said after the debates, "Why should I give up that political leverage?" While I hope to hell he doesn't, I understand why he would say that. Fox only accomplished making him look bad, bringing up something everyone already knew the answer to.
All of this seemed painfully obvious. I hope this doesn't hurt his poll numbers. But according to the people that Frank Luntz had wired up, their opinion changed heavily of Trump from positive to negative. That as well, could have been easily rigged to get the point they wanted to make.
