The debate-moderating trio of Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier and Chris
Wallace handed their colleague Bill O’Reilly a fine setup last night. In a wild showdown in Detroit, the moderators pressed the four remaining Republican candidates on the budget, anti-terrorism and their records as leaders, among other stuff.
To great effect, they deployed graphics to slow down the blustering Donald Trump over key factual issues, including his pledge to curb spending by targeting waste, fraud and abuse.
So O’Reilly had vast pastures in which to roam when he started his post-debate show. Instead, he chose to tread a broadcaster’s cul-de-sac of narcissistic and pointless questioning.
Just after the debate ended, there was O’Reilly, mic in hand, approaching Trump about the night at the podiums. To be precise, the idiocy started at 11:02 p.m.: “I don’t know who this guy he’s been following me around all day. Now look, we’re standing mano a mano here, you’re not gonna be taller than me,” said O’Reilly alongside Trump.
Whatever that was supposed to mean. Lame, vacuous, inside-softball questions ensued about Mitt Romney’s speech hammering Trump “You think he’s a phony?” O’Reilly asked and about Hillary Clinton. All the sort dialogue you’d expect O’Reilly and Trump, who are longtime friends, to enjoy over a pair of vanilla milkshakes.
