It's not about you, it's all about me.

It looks like Trump is winning against Fox News. In an article written by Politico today the infamous Trump-hater Megyn Kelly is quoted as saying she no longer wants to talk about Donald Trump.
[…] “He’s a passionate man, and I think that passion has appealed to a lot of voters, and has surprised a lot of people,” she said. “I think that’s all I’m going to say.”
(Via Politico) Fox News anchor and show host Megyn Kelly, who has been lambasted by presidential frontrunner Donald Trump since the first Republican national debate, said she was done talking about her feud with the candidate during a one-on-one discussion with Cosmopolitan editor Joanna Coles Monday morning during an Advertising Week panel.
“I don’t want to talk about Donald Trump any more, truly,” she said after several questions from Coles about Trump’s continued criticism. “He has captured the attention of the electorate, and huge sections of the Republican base. I think he’s a fighter, and that appeals to a lot of people. That appeals to a lot of people, and when he is upset at someone, he fights even harder.”
Kelly, whose inquiry about Trump’s disparaging comments about women during the first GOP debate led to high drama between the candidate and Fox News, maintained her questions were balanced and necessary to ask to a potential presidential candidate.
Her rationale: Hillary Clinton, a likely Democratic nominee, will waste no time attacking Trump for those same comments if he becomes the Republican party’s first choice. Why shouldn’t she attack it head-on first?
“The purpose of all of those questions in the opening round of the debate was all about electability,” Kelly said, adding that the first round of questions to all of the candidates were designed to be “merciless, because we were trying to get at the core weaknesses of each candidate.”
She rejected the notion that the feud with Trump was planned in any way.
“I thought it was a fair question,” she said. “He didn’t think it was fair. And that is his choice.”
She added: “I understand his position. He’s not a politician. He said afterwards that he was expecting us to be nice to him, and we weren’t nice…That wasn’t exactly the bargain. It’s not a cocktail party, a presidential debate.”
Kelly spoke favorably of Carly Fiorina, who targeted Trump onstage at the second Republican debate after he said in a Rolling Stone interview, “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”
The way Fiorina handled the comments at CNN’s debate, Kelly said, was admirable.
“It wasn’t about Carly and Donald,” she said. “It was just about female empowerment.”
Kelly declined to say whether the backlash from Trump surprised her.
Blech.
Common sense says that Hillary is far from a supporter of women's rights, considering the damage she has done to Bill's girlfriends. Hillary was vicious and failed to support the woman's side of the story. If Hillary attacks Trump it will be with blanks.
Megan is making up stuff to explain her unacceptable behavior.
Time for others to take her place.
HUH?
When a woman says that she’s done talking about a man..she is not done talking about a man.
BTW Megyn, that black dress is not all that flattering on you...Then again it might be just you.
The last time I watched anything Megyn Kelly was on ,was with Hemmer and when she tried to be a serious reporter she just sounded corny and unwatchable
We shall see ...
There's the root cause of her problem, right there.
She’s right about the Dimwits attacking him re his comments on women. I just think Megyn grossly mis-calculated the damage to herself professionally and her ratings. Even I quit watching her.
And, I’m one of her fans until she starts prattling on about Women’s issues or homosexuals. Oh, or puts Geraldo on to see what he thinks on immigration. My god, we all know what the little weasel thinks! We don’t have to hear it one million fn times!
Women are never done talking...ever.
“By God they are prepared to go down with the GOPe ship and take their suddenly very stale TV show with them.”
...Glub...Glub....
Where? ...What?
Didn’t see a thing...
I’m watching TRUMP on CNN ( ; ).
Actually she took some shots at Trump during the first debate but nobody paid any attention to them.
It's not about you, it's all about me.
LOL
I never thought they would go to the lengths they have to carry GOPe water. I have discovered new sources of news because of it and that’s a good thing. Not as convenient but worth it nonetheless.
Really? Would someone remind we what other candidates had a "merciless" question asked of them? It wasn't so much the question that was asked it was the tone in which it was delivered---almost with disgust in her voice.
Megan is on retainer for the GOPe.
Kelly’s numbers are down, down down....numbers do not lie...check it out

She is no longer #1.....used to be 200k+ ahead of BOR, now routinely 200-400k behind...ergo, she has lost 500k+ per night in viewership.
Fox no longer floats her as the #1 cable show.....so the boycott is working!!
When a woman says that she’s done talking about a man..she is not done talking about a man.————————————————————————————————————————————
LOL! Sooo true.
