"Trump looked most unpresidential. He was bombastic, insulting to Mexico and most Mexican-Americans, and women in particular. His changed positions made him, despite his lame protestations otherwise, look more like the pandering politicians he vilifies so often. He is thin-skinned and clearly let his angry self show up, front and center. His nasty response to Fox moderator Megyn Kelly will only exacerbate his mainstream image as a nasty man, if not personally repugnant to many Americans, not likely to be one that would have a chance in a general election. I also dont think it will be very long before the lie he put forth that no one would be talking about illegal immigration if he hadnt, will tear at the fabric of his believability. It has been one of the most discussed, and divisive, subjects in the partisan political divide for some time. Additionally, very old-line politician-like, he gave vague and uninformative answers throughout the evening. When asked by Kelly about his misogynist past Donaldisms describing women, he was down on as fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals, Trump replied, in a wholly unsatisfactory manner, Only Rosie ODonnell. A poor attempt at humor, that only reinforced the misogyny charge. The image was hardly what most Americans want from an American president. "
