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 dont think women love that. But I dont know that its 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 isnt 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 arent tough enough to handle Trump.
I think we're becoming what I call a cupcake nation. Weve 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.

I refuse to read anything she says.
Trump has had this woman’s vote all along.
So why did Trump get 56% of women in New York being who he is?
You have obviously not seen television figures play parts for the entertainment of the audience and ratings. Megyn’s true colors bled out along with Fox News.
I’ll take that to mean you retract your nonsense that Megyn is a liberal.
For you to backtrack to claiming Megyn plays for ratings is a lot different than her being a liberal.
Perhaps you could call her a RINO, but not a liberal.
He got 56% of Republican women who voted in the primary. A smallish minority in New York.
You are splitting hairs.
Trump will win the general in a landslide.
This sounds very much like an admission that she was out of line during the debate. What other interpretation of the phrase, "...where I ought to be", could there be?
The jokes just write themselves. She is a mess. He “rightsized” her ego.
Someone needs to start pointing out to MSM personnel that they are very much a part of the problem that has everyone so enraged these days.
The idiots don’t even begin to comprehend what’s coming at them as people get fed up with the bullcrap.
