Donald Trump goes on Twitter to run down Fox News after GOP debate
Aug 7, 2015, 11:15 AM
The first prime-time GOP presidential debate pitted 10 candidates against each other. At least that was how it was supposed to go down.
What it ended up being, to many of the record 24 million viewers, was Fox News moderators jumping down Donald Trump’s throat. There was some heat behind some of the questions from Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier.
After the debate, Trump told the New York Times, “The questions to me were not very nice.”
Because he is Trump, he went to Twitter to unload, making the social media site the real winner of the debate.
Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch.

I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!

That post was in response to a tweet from Kelly:
.@FrankLuntz focus group gives low marks to @realDonaldTrump saying he’d consider third party candidacy. #GOPDebate
