Real-estate mogul Donald Trump called the coming Fox News-hosted Republican debate a "total disaster" and shared a Twitter user's post that called Fox News host Megyn Kelly a "bimbo" during a raging series of tweets hours before he was set to boycott the Thursday-night debate.
"The 'debate' tonight will be a total disaster — low ratings with advertisers and advertising rates dropping like a rock. I hate to see this," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote.
The real-estate tycoon had told Fox host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night that he hoped Fox did "well," even though he said the network would "make much less" money without him on stage.
Trump also continued his assault on Kelly, with whom he has feuded for months.
One tweet, which Trump promoted on his account Thursday morning, attacked Kelly for a GQ Magazine photo shoot and labeled her a "bimbo."
"And this is the bimbo that's asking presidential questions?" the tweet said. The user attached two photos from the shoot with text that read, "Criticizes Trump for objectifying women ... Poses like this in GQ Magazine."
The candidate shared the post a day after he had said he wouldn't refer to Kelly as a "bimbo," a term used to insult women, because doing so would "not be politically correct."
Trump drew some backlash last year when he twice promoted tweets calling Kelly a "bimbo." One of the times Trump retweeted the insult was after Kelly, a moderator at an August debate, confronted him about past comments he had made about women's looks.

Seems this election will be decided with TWEETS.
Does anyone remember in 2000 the headline..........
“ERECTION ELECTION: ROLLING STONE AIRBRUSHES GORE’S CROTCH ON COVER”
Now it is the TWITTERY TWEETS!
Consistency is definitely noteworthy.
But, I am sure others have told you, Kelly is not a conservative.
Malkin certainly seem to be the real deal, but not Kelly.
Trump posted this...
BIG temper tantrum.
“Megyn Kelly ... solid conservative woman “
Bbwwwwwaaaaahhhaaa?
Read this and “wonderment” will increase!!
HOW TO SPOT A PSYCHOPATH: FROM CHARM TO MANIPULATION
Psychopaths display different traits depending on their disorder, but common signs include superficial charm, a grandiose notion of self-worth, the need for stimulation and impulsiveness, pathological lying, the ability to manipulate others and a lack of remorse and empathy.
Experts claim people usually find psychopaths intriguing, but can’t put their finger on why.
This is down to incongruous behaviour because psychopaths tend to do a lot of acting to deceive, or mimic normal reactions, sometimes changing their views and reactions quickly.
For example, Mr Wells said upon meeting someone, he tries to become ‘the most interesting person they know’ and presumably adopts suitable interests and responses to do this.
His response also gives away another common trait - a grandiose notion of self-worth - in that he can be the most interesting person in the room.
Psychopaths occasionally tend to exhibit unconvincing emotional responses, with slip-ups including tone of voice or body language.
This may be because they are unable to understand emotions such as fear and love, but can mimic them.
Generally psychopaths’ ‘emotions’ are shallow and short-lived and there is a manipulative ulterior motive to showing them.
For example, Mr Wells said he offers to do favours and tells false secrets to people to gain their complete trust.
He also displays insincere charm - another trait associated with psychopaths.
He says: ‘I keep secrets, and tell them fake secrets to further gain their trust, and once they trust me enough, I ask for favours, reminding them of the favours I did them. I can get literally anything from them, which is incredibly useful.’
Psychopaths typically display an incredible ability to manipulate others and sometimes take pleasure in doing so.
Psychopaths often have an air of superiority about them, perhaps shown by Mr Wells’ belief he can spot other psychopaths
Even expert Dr Hare warns that anyone can be duped during a short interaction with a psychopath.

I have never met The Donald but have encountered people like the persons he described.
Take care.........pilgrim
What you call a grudge, I call telling the truth.
Everyone is so used to having to be PC, that when the thought police aren’t in control, you can’t tell what is the truth any more.
Trump is exposing the lies, exposing the hypocrisy.
She’s a hypocrite.
Trump supposedly objectifies women, yet she is fine with being an object?
“Trump can dish it but can’t take it. Coward.”
You are so used to the PC world, you can’t tell cowardice from courageousness.
How many times have people posted that they want a candidate that would fight the media?
Now that there is one, you are attacking him.
This is a scene out of 1984.
“he’s acting like a Democrat”
democrats never get this much attention.
He is playing the game better than anyone else ever has. And exposing that it IS a game.
“yep, having Husk and Santorum basically endorse him in Iowa is a game clincher.”
Yup, Trump has the 2012 Iowa winner and the 2008 Iowa winner with him tonight.
Brilliant!
yeah, saw it. He does have problems with rejection. It just isn’t something he accepts. In fact, if he loses the election it might break him.
What is courageous about calling people names from twiiter. If he had courage, he would say it to their faces.
Wow... incredibly juvenile.
Seriously getting to that point to call the Rubber Ranch and have them send a rubber truck for poor old Donald...
“Will he embroil us in useless conflicts constantly when he doesn’t get his way or gets insulted over pettiness?”
You don’t get it. Look at the big picture.
What has been talked about for the last 48 hours?
Has Cruz been talked about (other than people asking him and wondering if he’ll walk on the debate)?
How about Carson, Jeb, Rubio?
Trump’s wife doesn’t attempt to portray herself as a “serious journalist” either. Trump’s wife was a professional model, and guys like you demanded her presence, so don’t blame her for suckering you to pay her millions in salary for it.
THAT is the hypocrisy with Kelly. She wants to act like a slut, but not have anyone mention it.
“Trump can dish it but can’t take it. Coward.”
I am sure your eGOP candidate will be happy to be abused and take whatever disrespect he is given because god only know how much of a spineless wimp you and your candidate is. The rest of us prefer a fighter and someone that doesn’t put up with liberals like Megyn Kelly and Fox News.
“Regardless of what you may think of Kelly, she is someone’s mother and daughter”
She obviously didn’t care when she decided to pose or talked with Stern about slutty things.
If she doesn’t respect herself, why should I?
Wow...that is an eye opener. Hillary could very well HAVE to drop out if indicted, and if it were Bloomberg and Warren filling the gap I think they’d have more cred than Sanders and whomever. Or Biden and Warren.
