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.

Not much of a ground game in Iowa is it?
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.

Since Trump is GOPe liberal its no surprise he’s acting just like other liberals who can’t take questions they don’t like and don’t know how to respond to those questions.
Thankfully, Sen Cruz is such an articulate Conservative he knows how to handle the lib media.
Trump is a coward. He can call women bimbos but can’t take being challenged when he makes those slurs.
You are correct. Trump doesn’t like women that challenge him.
Hell, maybe Im just getting old. I joined in 1999 (lost my log in details so I started fresh) . I swear the debate was just a tad bit more substantive and unified in purpose than it is now. I don’t even feel like there’s much of a common understanding of conservatism around here anymore.... But again, Im probably just getting old.
No, you’re right.
Actually local media on the ground here in Iowas seem to be in agreement that this stunt was a last minute hail marry to avoid a 2nd place finish. It is well understood by local voters and media alike that Cruz’s GOTV infrastructure is unprecedented in Iowa. People on the ground here think this sideshow is Trump’s acknowledgment of this.
Actually more like a 4 year old girl. Literacy is not a strong suit of the average Trumpette.
Come on don’t be so thinned skin. Reagan called every female journalist that asked him to defend his past statements a bimbo.
Trump has been on Stern’s show numerous times, jackass. He just loves yucking it up with Howard about his bought and paid for foreign born wives.
“She hid out for weeks”, lol. Ducking and running from a debate, that’s not hiding out. You Trumpettes would be hilarious if you weren’t so pathetic.
She is obsessed with him? If twitter were available during the 1980 Presidential campaign, do you think Reagan would have used it to repeatedly attack a female journalist as a bimbo?
Did he talk about sexual details like Kelly?
I’m sure not or Cruz fanatics would’ve already posted it 150 times.
you seem unhinged.
funny how people here are siding with the liberal media. Want another Candy Crowley moment?

Interesting and spot on.
That’s why she has Michael Moore on and agrees with him thru out the show and gets praised by him.
All conservatives do that. /s
Reagan was a totally different personality than Trump. No way would he have kept this nonsense up. It is so juvenile as both Trump and Megyn continue and since she has an hour every week night, she will keep on. I think they BOTH love the attention.
She hid out n00b. If you were honest you could admit it.
