Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly said Tuesday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump could still pick up female votes this fall, despite language that she called “diminishing of womankind.”
“The comments about women, I don’t think women love that. But I don’t know that it’s going to drive their vote,” Kelly said before a crowd at the American Hospital Association meeting.
“I think if Trump behaves himself and acts presidentially, and isn’t so much of a bully — which women tend to not appreciate, either — he can move those numbers a bit,” Kelly said.
Kelly and Trump feuded for months following her questioning of him at the first GOP presidential debate in August. He then skipped a Fox debate she co-hosted in late January before being cordial in March.
Throughout the campaign, Trump's comments about women, including the wife of presidential rival Ted Cruz, have been called one of his biggest vulnerabilities. One poll in March found 73 percent of registered female voters in the U.S. had an unfavorable view of Trump.
Kelly and Trump met recently at Trump Tower to help settle the dispute, and Kelly said Tuesday that she and the GOP front-runner are on “much better ground.”
“I look forward to covering the general election from the sidelines, where I ought to be,” she said.
The "Kelly File" anchor also took a swipe at American parenting, which she said is creating a “me generation” of kids who aren’t tough enough to handle Trump.
“I think we're becoming what I call a cupcake nation. We’ve gone soft,” Kelly said.
“Just wait til you get slammed by a professor, by a boss, by a billionaire presidential front-runner ... and you have to get up the next morning and smile and do your job," Kelly said.

Translation: “When I acted like a lady, he treated me like a lady. All I had to do was stop acting like a vicious bitch and he treated me fine.”
Very good, MeAgain.
Now make me a sammich.

Trump’s image with women is just fine. How many have agreed to marry him?
...ever since Jeb swallowed his brain and sh*t marbles Fox lost big time....
Today, Cruz accused Murdoch and Ailes of being in Trump’s camp.
LOL, MK is playing concern troll now?
Ms. Kelly should remember that Bill Clinton told Kathleen Willy "You had better put ice on that...".......Oooooh forgot, the Clinton's are above the law.
Mrs. Kelly just had her ass kicked by Don Lemon in the ratings in the key demo Group and Hillary is not coming on.
“vicious bitch”
Bill O’Reilly? Sean Hannity? Maybe.
Maybe Rush Limbaugh? No.
How about John McLaughlin? Or Wolf Blitzer? Vicious bitches?
Megyn Kelly: “Trump can improve image with women...” IF he comes on my show for an interview.
Just completed her obvious message.
I agree with this part completely. If he can do the Presidential thing, he can win 60% of the vote, and have a Reaganesque landslide.
Desperate people. Do desperate things
Ted is unhinged with hate for anybody that doesn’t slobber on his pants leg like so many in the “conservative” media do.
Levin just as well take up residence in Teds skivvies
Her comments read like a John Semmens satire.
Megyn Kelly for VP?
She’s a great attack dog and the media would love to have one of their own on the ticket.
And she beats Hillary on the looks department. The contrast would be devastating for the prospects of the old witch.
Megan Kelly can “ Stuff It.” I like Trump exactly as he is. Heaven forbid we get another pantywaist in the White House. We need a leader with big, brass ones.
