moderateors. i do. i understand what they were trying to do last night. i think i can get you a job at fox. so here s what first of all, 10 after 6:00. mark on your calendar the first caitlyn jenner reference. in a bar in cleveland. the last couple days we thought donald moderated himself. he s more measured. he wasn t different last night. he was donald trump. the people who love donald trump, what he did last night regard lzless of what we may say, they still love donald trump. i ll be fascinated to see what his numbers look like in two days from now. i think the numbers go down. and i don t think jeb bush did himself any favors either. eric erickson at red state said you couldn t even hear his answers on a lot of the questions through the boos. here s what donald trump said about the questions asked last night. i thought their questions to me were much tougher than other people. i think megan behaved very
the question i ve been asking has been, it s going to hurt him at the end of the day. boy, guiness at 7:00 in the morning is tough. and i m not a beer drinker. zbh i m not either. you said it s going to help him in the polls. i m starting to get some reporting in this morning that is suggesting you re right and i m wrong. let s must be very scientific about this. josh green with bloomberg, i m going to go with you first. this is scientific. did you something extraordinary after the debate last night. tell us about it. so i called all the ohio trump supporters from bloomberg s last poll and give me the instant reaction after the debate. they were furious at fox news. they thought trum health care plan been railroaded. i talked to a 69-year-old nurse named janet roberts. she said fox news showed me everything that s wrong with american politics. and they said support for trump
when people start getting you going and the guy next to you or the gal next to you is fun. but, you know you feed off the crowd. you feed off the crowd. whether wh there is no crowd, it s hard to feed. you have a very warm crowd here. and the more you drink, the better i ll sound. yes. by the end of this you ll want to kill isil too. just three beers, right? all right, so we want to talk about the debate. before we talk about the debate massive news last night. chuck schumer decided to use the donald trump debate to bury the lead that the most important democratic jewish voice in america is actually against this deal. mika, i i don t usually tweet in the middle of debates. but i did on this one. and i said i just asked, now is barack obama going to call chuck schumer ignorant or a liar
this is going to go. as i said, before usually you have a debate. and it s all the elites. it s all the donors. they re all getting marched in because somebody knows somebody. can you give me two tickets to the debate? can you give pe four tickets to the debate? and they all march in. and it s the party establishment that is watching the debate. donald trump has nobody in the party establishment supporting him. and last night on fox news he had very little very few people up there on fox news. and started out by saying i might leave you. that s honest. and he said i might leave you. i mean he is a real wild card because it seems to me the people that are supporting him aren t going to be in the hall because they re disaffected from the republican party as well. joe, i think that s right. i think he was hurt. i think he was cut. i think it will be slow. i don t think it will be anything dramatic. however, i wouldn t be stunned if mika is right. it may be that he is oblivious to
bloomberg s focus groups they re not the party elites that got the ticket. this is the establishment. this is the establishment sitting in that room. i think even for some of those people i think that trump got cut last night. it really the substance of the questions, people learn some things. people might not have known beforehand he was pro-choice. now he s pro-life. he was for wealth tax, now he s for kugt for cutting all taxes. now he s for ending obama care. what they didn t say is four years ago ronald reagan was a con man. this guy is the caitlyn jenner of american politics. he really is. i think that s coming through. all of that could have been accomplished without the headline being that fox went after trump. by the way, al hunt if you re trying to get a contract at fox news you just got it. you just got it. by the way, i love the
