Hand-Wringing in G.O.P. After Donald Trump’s Remarks on Megyn Kelly

The New York Times ^ | August 8, 2015 | Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Martin

Megyn Kelly did her job. She officially launched the War On Women 2. That’s all we’re going to hear.

[2ndDivisionVet]

Well, she was a McCain advisor, so what should we expect?

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Ministry Of Propaganda has orders to get Trump out of the race.
Fox News is part of the Ministry Of Propaganda.

Kelly tried to sandbag Trump.

Trump has to be silenced because people are starting to think he’s right and we can stop the inundation across our southern border.

Every headline on tv has used the Rosie quote, then elaborated on it.

[ncalburt]

These two commie reporters used to be smearing for the Dems at Leftico another Dem run operation.
The media keep recycling the same liars and Dem operatives as Rush has noted before.
Johnny Martin actually worked for Dems in the Senate until they decided he could be a more useful media propagandist.

The US media is a scary out of control situation now..

It's a shame we don't have the Brits laws which keep the left in check and also the Rupert Murdochs from bold face lying and baseless smearing.

[NY Cajun]

I never liked Megyn Kelly’s show, right from the start. She comes off like some sanctimonious bitch. At the debate she ended up making Candy Crowley look like a class act.
Chris Wallace was the other woman on the panel that should be let go.

He’s not like the others:

Donald Trump is an embarrassment who is impossible to embarrass. It’s his superpower.

Two terms. That's how long they will have to deal with Trump's disruptive presence. And by then,

• jobs and industries will have come home,
• Unemployment will be down.
• competition for labor will make minimum wage a mute point,
• the trade deficit will be down,
• the government will be running surpluses and paying down the debtt
• the fence will be built
• Immigration law will be enforced
• The military will be the strongest ever
• ISIS will be crushed
• Israel will be strengthened.
• China will be weakened economically.
• Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid will be strengthened.
• Healthcare will be affordable.
• The bill of rights will be more respected
• The demand on safety nets will be dramatically reduced.
• The National debt will be coming down.
• The GOP having followed Trumps lead will have started growing a spine.
• Democrats will be in dissarray having repeatedly had the light shown on them.

Am I in the minority in this forsaken country of ours, to think that Trump was not referring to her menses? Whenever, to me means everywhere. In short, she was out for blood.

[Conscience of a Conservative]

“Two terms. That’s how long they will have to deal with Trump’s disruptive presence.”

I hate to break it to you, guy, but Mr. Trump has a virtually zero chance of being elected President. Ain’t gonna happen.

[Dagnabitt]

I don’t see that superpower getting him to 270 EVs, if he somehow pluralities his way to the nomination.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Could be. However, we will never know as candor is not a political virtue.

[sheikdetailfeather]

Jeffrey Lord on CNN now talking about this.

[Windflier]

Cons

Please don't use that slur to describe conservatives. It's a recent invention of liberal commenters around the web.

I think there is a definite movement to drive Trump into a third party candidacy. Hillary is assured of election. Especially since Trump has warned RINOS that if he is not treated right he will bolt. We may be victims of a real conspiracy!

My gut tells me no. If Trump runs as a third party candidate Hillary definitely wins. If Trump runs as the Republican nominee, Hillary probably wins as well. Driving him out of the party doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

[DannyTN]

He’s got 32% support in the GOP now.

The support from conservative candidates is going to choose Trump over the GOPe candidates. So Cruz, Huckabee, Fiorina, probably Carson’s support is going to go Trump.

And while Walker, Bush, Christie and Rubio’s support will eventually convalesce around 1 candidate, some of those are going to be dissatisfied and switch to Trump.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

The media and career politicians live on lies and cheap shots and con games. Now they act all prissy and self-righteous because someone suggests a crabby woman might be crabby because it is that time of the month for her? Oh the horror. Gee, no one has ever said that before. /s

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

It would be interesting to see a Hillary-Trump debate.

[Fiddlstix]

NYT = Fish wrap

[sheikdetailfeather]

Jeffrey Lord was just on CNN now: “All these people treating Megyn Kelly like a delicate flower IS CONDESCENDING! He did not say it was about menstruation. We cannot depend upon someone elses INTERPRETATION and this is just the way Trump talks.” Jeffrey Lord said he is really disappointed in Jeb Bush piling on and that those who are making a big deal defending M. Kelley RE BEING SEXIST!!!!!!!
