On Fridays broadcast of CNNs OutFront, Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow said the first primetime debate was a great debate between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump with establishment Fox trying to take out the businessman and GOP frontrunner. Marlow said that pollster Frank Luntzs declaration that the primetime debate was the destruction of a presidential campaign for Trump is wishful thinking. He continued, We saw what last nights debate was, which was a great debate. It was a great debate between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump. There was also, I enjoyed the [Chris] Christie- Rand [Paul] spat. That was good too. But, for the most part, we saw that Fox was on a mission: theyre trying to take out Donald Trump. He continued: Fox is positioning themselves as a centrist network, as an establishment Republican network. Theyre not interested in Donald Trump and his supporters. His supporters are grassroots conservatives, and thats why he does so well.
Marlow was then asked by substitute host Kate Boulduan what was wrong with pushing Trump? He answered, Theres nothing wrong with pushing him on his record. Its just the vitriol and the tone, I think made Trump seem like a victim. He was sitting there smiling in the beginning, while hes essentially getting badgered. Marlow said that he expected the opening to have something to do with Hillary Clinton or specific policy positions. No, it was just, are you going to pledge allegiance to the Republican Party? This is clearly a gotcha question, and it was a gotcha debate.
He added, There were lots of gotcha questions throughout the debate. It was peppered with it, reading from Donald Trumps Twitter feed, you cant get more gotcha than that, when were going up against presumably Hillary Clinton, married to Bill Clinton, accused serial sexual harasser, with accusations still on the table.
The Breitbart editor concluded by noting that while Fox anchor Megyn Kellys war on women line of questioning centered on Mr. Trumps tweets, the candidates were not asked about the record number of women out of the work force. Hes mean, sure, Kate, Marlow said, but he was also mean to Frank Luntz when he called him a low-class slob earlier today.

Megyn Kelly was out for blood, Rupert's RINO's want to torpedo any threat to the ruling class.
