Trump vows no more 'bimbo' tweets
The Hill ^ | 8/26/2015 | Jesse Byrnes

Posted on 08/26/2015 11:38:15 AM PDT by Kevin C

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Wednesday said he would stop sharing tweets referring to Fox News host Megyn Kelly as a "bimbo," among other terms.

"I have much bigger things to think about, honestly," Trump told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "They made a big deal out of that and I just don’t see — that was a retweet."

Late-night tweets Monday discussing Kelly's appearance and one referring to her as a "bimbo" reignited tension with the network and prompted strong criticism from several Fox anchors.

"I watched her show last night. She was very nice and I appreciated it," Trump said Wednesday, referring to Kelly's show, which included highlights of his remarks in Iowa on Tuesday night.

Know many self-made $11 billion dollar third graders do you?

Self-made? The guy inherited at least $35 million from daddy.

I find him obnoxious, in your face, arrogant, spoiled, infantile, childish, narcissistic, egotistical, brash, crass, crude, bombastic, blustery, pompous, impetuous, thin skinned, insulting, foul mouthed, brash, pushy, name calling. I don’t like his language or his style.

I don't need a list that long. I don't like him because he's a liberal.

Who says I support Jeb?

His campaign as proven pathetic. Like watching paint dry.

I agree with Trump on Jeb. He’s a low energy guy.

Yeb! Was doing photo ops yesterday with some random Mexican, shamelessly pandering to the Hispanics.

It was disgusting.

He IS a liberal.

Thanks for calling that to my attention.

Perhaps the most important adjective I left out.

But Trump knows how the game is played.

He knows conservatives dominate the GOP primaries and he doesn’t want to be outflanked on his right, so right now he sounds slightly to right of Atilla the Hun.

But I’ve seen this rodeo before and I know how it ends.

I live in CA and we had to put up with Arnold for nearly eight years.

He should have came to this conclusion prior to his recent rounds of bimbo tweets.

Agreed. If Megyn doesn’t want to be called a bimbo perhaps she should stop dressing like one.

If I am not mistaken, Bimbo, a Mexican company, bought up Entemenn’s (sp?) and Hostess.

A quick followup... I did some online searching and this firm has a poor track record and has been sharply criticized by both sides for bad polling methodology. They have had a number of truly spectacular flubs (election results vs their polling data).

http://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas-take/article/Polling-the-polls-6462314.php

Not gonna say they couldn’t be right. But their data contradicts what pretty much every other poll is showing. That coupled with their pretty lousy track record and I am taking this one with a pound or two of salt.

I think you are right—Bimbo bought up a number of American bakeries.

Their products are in my local Walmart here in southern DE.

It would be difficult to find a person more establishment than DT. A multibillionaire born into a wealthy family. He is much more than a country club Republican. He actually owns many of the world’s finest golf courses. He hobnobs with the rich and powerful and gives money to both parties, he is close to the Clintons and has given generously to their campaigns and foundations. Trump IS the establishment as far as I am concerned.

Thank you, Mr. Trump. Your candidacy is too important to get bogged down with this nonsense and these people. Its like letting a billion dollar deal get put on hold because you’ve got an issue with the janitor of the building you want to buy.

Forget Kelly - she’s not that important. Ditto for bashing Fox...even if they deserve it. Focus on tearing down your opposition, and keep hammering your positions on immigration, economic relations with other countries, Obama weakening the US and strengthening our enemies, etc.

The public perception of Trump being born to relative wealth is true. What is not commonly known these days is that in the late 80s early 90s he fell upon hard times in an economic down-turn. In an article I read about three weeks ago, it estimated his net worth low point at about $150 million dollars upside down.

You could attribute that to mismanagement, or the economy. The fact remains, he was able to pull his situation together and reverse his fortunes to the point he now has an $11 billion dollar net worth.

The article I read was from an old magazine and was written in the early to mid 90s. Possibly the late 80s.

I followed a link to it, and can’t find it again right now.

During divorce proceedings Evonka estimated their net worth at around $400 million when they divorced.

Laughable logic. Trump could have taken all his father’s inheritance and squandered it also .....

But he didn’t.

And he himself could take all his billions and just go. Enjoy his life ....

But he isn’t.

FROM JONATHON VAN MAREN, LIFE SITE NEWS: I originally thought that Trump could be ignored. Surely, no one could tolerate that type of behavior from someone who wanted to be president of the United States for long. But his numbers keep going up, and conservative commentators such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are climbing into the Trump clown car. After Trump released his immigration plan, conservative media darling Ann Coulter even tweeted, “I don’t care if Donald Trump wants to perform abortions in the White House after this immigration policy paper.” I’m as frustrated by political correctness as anyone else. As a full-time pro-life activist, I’m faced with it and bogged down by it on a daily basis. But are we actually at a point where our principles allow us to cheer wildly at the sight of a rude and ungallant businessman referring to a woman as a “dog” just because that woman has said vile and repulsive things herself? As anti-porn activist Matt Fradd has noted, it is a manly thing to treat a woman with dignity, even if she has forgotten hers. But the comments went virtually unnoticed—except for the enormous backlash against Megyn Kelly for having the audacity to ask a man who regularly swaps out his wives for younger women and has a habit of calling women names a very legitimate question. Not to mention his other statements that are as creepy as they are indicative, like his comment, “I don’t think my daughter Ivanka would pose for Playboy, although she does have a very nice figure. I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I would be dating her....” -Jonathon Van Maren, Life Site News https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/dear-conservatives-stop-defending-donald-trump.-just-stop
