Donald Trump was centre stage at the Fox News debate, and the poll-topping candidate for the Republican nomination spoke across a breadth of issues. “They said something and they were giving out some words and I don’t remember that on ‘The Apprentice.’ I don’t know where they got some of the words, to be honest with you“.

After the debate, Trump’s Twitter feed began filling up with retweets of praises toward himself and disparaging comments toward mediator Kelly.
The two-hour debate wasn’t without some drama as the candidates battled it out on stage. She then asked Trump how he would respond to the presumed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s charge when she accuses of him of partaking in the “war on women”. On his remarks about Mexico sending criminals to the U.S., he said, “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration”. Despite the viewer success though, Trump is complaining that the debate, moderated by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, was unfair.
Luntz conducted a focus group of Republican voters Thursday night for Fox News that gave Trump harsh reviews. “And I thought Megyn behaved very badly, personally”.
“I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness”, Trump said during the debate.
Trump has called O’Donnell a “fat pig”, a “slob” and an “animal”, according to several published reports. “In fact, it was the biggest you probably saw”, he recalled on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday.
“There are a lot of opinions about who really did the best last night and I think that is kind of an indicator that no one really broke through”, said Skelley. “Donald Trump is hitting a nerve in this country”, said Trump.
While some believe that Kelly may be victor of the debate, it doesn’t matter what she, Fox News or Krauthammer thinks. “But I want to leave the option open just in case that doesn’t happen”, he said.
