After the Fox News Republican debate Thursday night, Donald Trump may have said the one thing every single American man, woman, and child can agree on: There have been way too many debates.
"It's getting boring," he told NBC's Katy Tur. "We're at number 11 or something. I think it's ridiculous now, but it's part of the game, a part of what you have to do, I guess. They have overstayed their course." On this matter, Trump seems to have found common ground with presumptive rival Hillary Clinton:
Still, despite the fact that he no longer thinks the debates are worthwhile and wonders "how many times you can answer the same questions," Trump said he had a "good time" on Thursday and "thought it would be more evil, more vicious." The Republican frontrunner also had kind words for one-time foe and moderator Megyn Kelly, saying she "did a very professional job."
