Keeping my record intact, I did not watch the debate(s). I learned everything I wanted to know just by reading the morning-after headlines. I read, and will read, a few pieces I enjoy. I did not have to watch to know that nothing of importance to the country was said; so I looked for the most profound critiques in the autopsy reports that I do read. Ann Coulter attached the seriousness to the FOX farce it deserved:
On Cruz’s direct hit:
On J. Scott Smart:
On What’s-His-Name:
On The Postman Always Rings Twice:
On Amnesty’s field commander in the Army of Eight:
Leading up to the big day, FOX’s talking heads advertised the unbiased professionalism of their moderators. The questions were being composed by the best, the fairest, the most brilliant journalists in the business. As soon as I heard that B.S., I knew that The Donald was going to be the primary target for FOX phonies. By torpedoing Trump with unbiased professionalism they hoped to put one of their favorites in the lead. I do not think it worked. Unfortunately, Trump missed the opportunity to sink FOX in this exchange:
Trump should have replied: “Megyn, I doubt if you would host a prime time show if you were a bow-wow.”
In the interest of full disclosure, Trump could not demolish Megyn Kelly. He hopes a few of his Miss Universe contestants find employment with FOX.
Not a fat pig, dog, slob or disgusting animal in the house
Finally, I will add more profound takes to this thread when I come across them.
On Cruz’s direct hit:
Cruz did the best after Trump, including pointing out that he was the only one to vote against Rubio’s amnesty, which he called “Schumer’s amnesty.”
On J. Scott Smart:
Christie made a good hit on Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) 93%, but this Tony Soprano thing doesn’t work, especially for someone beholden to Wall Street. . . .
On What’s-His-Name:
Jeb looks more like Caitlyn Jenner every day.
On The Postman Always Rings Twice:
Mostly, he has got to drop that obsession with telling people that his father was a mailman.
Kasich’s humble origins, Abe Lincoln, I-walked-50-miles-to school crap . . .
Kasich’s humble origins, Abe Lincoln, I-walked-50-miles-to school crap . . .
On Amnesty’s field commander in the Army of Eight:
Rubio is a field mouse. He looks 14. He’s well-spoken, rather like an ingratiating bell boy at the hotel, who keeps trying to engage you in conversation every morning, so you duck into the elevator to avoid him.

Fox News’ Megyn Kelly accused Trump of waging a war on women: “You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals. Your Twitter account …”
Trump interrupted: “Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
