    Rinos to Trump:

    We're so embarrassed by you that we don't want to hear you speak, we don't want you at our events, and we really wish you weren't associated with the republican party.

    And btw, are you going to show us the ultimate disloyalty and run as a third party if you're not nominated?

  3. Menstrual jokes are not funny. Period. And that's the bloody truth.

  5. Lets try to not take this silliness between Trump and Kelly to seriously. It's all political theater anyway, and FOX knew that when they set up the opening salvo of questions.

  6. Fox is going to take a hit from viewers going forward...They've obviously picked up alot of viewership since 08 as they are the only outlet that criticizes this current administration...but it's easy to forget all of the Dubya apologists on that network back in the 00-07 timeline...Now that they are back in the game of promoting RINO's, I believe it will drop them down a few notches.

  8. Maybe, but where are those eyeballs going? There isn't much out there for conservative viewers.

  9. Right, I agree...still online news (alt sites) are more popular than ever...The trend away from all cable tv will continue to grow (especially amongst younger viewers)...heck, that news about ESPN losing a huge number of subscriptions was a real eye opener (granted they've become another quasi political network, but still).

  10. FOX is walking kind of a tightrope with Trump. They go all in too soon and it could be a jump the shark moment for them if he goes belly up over something truly crazy. They're still trying to be a fairly straight news organization for the most part, especially with Wallace and Baier.
    I don't think that they, or any of the other news outlets know what to make of Trump. Neither do any of the other candidates. He's breaking all the molds. Traditionally he'd be dead and gone by now, but he keeps going up in the polls. People are really pissed off in this country and I don't think any of the establishment types have come to grips with that yet.
