The part that caught my eye was their proposed question: "What if someone were to ask Trump if he thinks Cruz (who was born in Canada) is eligible to be president?"

PLEASE PRAY TO WHATEVER DEITY OR FICTITIOUS CONSTRUCT YOU PREFER AND ASK THAT SOMEONE INQUIRES ABOUT TRUMP'S VIEWS ON CRUZ'S ELIGIBILITY FOR THE PRESIDENCY!

1. Another sorry day for journalism

As Fox 'News' lobs softballs to their pals.
Isn't it time for real journalists to stand up
against this farce ??!!

2. Get the popcorn out

3. Excellent point

I really hope that is asked. Trump will explain some dumb reason as to why Cruz is ok and show his hypocracy. It should be entertaining. I think the kids table will actually be better as far as fireworks.

5. Christie will go after Trump.

I think he will. I hope he will.

That should be entertaining to say the least. For example:

"Sit down and shut up, Donald."

"You're fired Christie!"

7. The actual event never lives up to the hype.

Trump will be low key in his treatment of the others.
Fox won't push anything beyond softball.
What you'll see is 50 shades of vanilla.

8. Just another poorly-scripted fake-reality show.

The bloodbath's out here, where assholes like these are allowed to fuck up our governments.

10. Republican reality show on a Republican entertainment network...

"Moderators" will be Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace. Questions will be air-cushion soft; anything slightly tricky will be evaded.

Content will consist of stump-speech highlights that cater to the Faux demographic. Mere RW dog-and-pony stuff: trashing Obama, trashing the ACA, trashing Iran diplomacy, trashing public education, etc.

All of it damaging to the health of anyone with a critical mind.
