During an appearance on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly reacted to Tuesday night’s CNN GOP primary debate.

He argued that “it’s impossible to debate with nine people” on stage, even more so with candidate Donald Trump in the mix.

“He just blows it up,” said O’Reilly. “How can you debate with somebody who says, ‘I’m beating you 42 to three. You’re a moron!’”

He singled out former Florida governor Jeb Bush and his palpable frustration with the entire situation.

“You can just read it on his face: ‘How could this be happening? Here I am, scion of a very political family. I know what I’m talking about. I ran Florida effectively for years. I’m losing. I’m not only losing. I’m getting crushed by this guy!’” O’Reilly explained.

He went on to say that Trump could actually win the GOP nomination. 

“It’s a different time now. People are really angry… And they’re not evaluating political candidates the way they would even four years ago,” The Factor host said.

“Obama won on emotion. Trump could win on emotion,” said O'Reilly. “He could win.”

“And Jeb Bush and a lot of the candidates don’t understand how angry the voters are,” he added.
