| Hillary could learn from Donald when it comes to calling out opponents by name. Generalizations generally assume that voters are watching that closely right now. They are not! |
Now that Fox News., Megan Kelly and Donald Trump have buried the hatchet, Trump has moved towards attacking Jeb on his position with women instead of remaining on the defense regarding his own standing among women spurned by the Kelly conflict.

| Trump has overtaken Scott Walker in Iowa after the debate. Prior to the debate Walker dominated Iowa polling. |
The newest ploy of Trump is to call in to news stations who are notoriously hungry for such exclusives, especially the kind that don't require much staging on set. Trump's comfort with using the media to his bidding is becoming more than a factor in the republican race. It might allow Trump to hijack the GOP, a party that's longed for a true face for some time now like Barack and Hillary have been for the Dem's.
When Did Immigration & Abortion
Become Winning GOP Issues?
Trump might not be willing to devote himself to the party, but the party (as reflected by Fox giving in to Donald) has accepted that he is a necessary evil and might have been the sole reason for 24 million viewers during their debate.
Trump is certainly partly right when he say's that 24 million viewers tuned in because of him, though he didn't mention that most were hoping to view the train wreck that they mosty got. He is also correct when he says that we wouldn't be talking about immigration or abortion if it were not for him.
That's not a good thing Donald. That's not a good thing.
What was a good thing was pointed out in an article by Vox.com. Donald Trump was the only person on the stage to offer a real and really valuable policy point when he suggested the cross state line commerce idea that many of us have long awaited for the ACA, the only idea guaranteed to force pricing changes that insurance companies are still resistant to. This is not a new idea or one unique to Trump, but it was the best policy point of the night which only accentuates the weakness of the republican debate as it related to real substance.
