    If Donald Trump's comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly are hurting his standing in the Republican primary, it's not showing in the numbers. According to the latest NBC News Online Poll conducted by SurveyMonkey, Trump is at the top of the list of GOP candidates that Republican primary voters would cast a ballot for if the primary were being held right now.

    Claiming a spike in fundraising since Thursday night’s debate, Carly Fiorina threw a punch at Donald Trump while also making an appeal to voters currently inclined to support him. “We certainly have seen an uptick in financial support. We’ve seen an uptick in support generally and so, it’s very exciting,” Fiorina told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday. “We’re going to talk to as many people as we can through every medium there is. I will continue to do what I’ve done from day one. I will answer any question. I will talk to anyone. I’m not afraid to talk...
  • Fox News Facebook Page Still Filled With Protest Over Their Debate

    08/10/2015 6:35:26 AM PDT · by ElainaVer · 47 replies
    Fox News' Facebook page is still bombarded with thousands of complaints about the debate and especially Meghan Kelly. Some are quite funny, if it weren't so serious. Here's an example of how Megyn's subsequent remarks against Trump ('If he can't handle me(Megyn), how could he handle Putin?') might have been better used against Hillary Clinton. Warning . . Crude Language! Example from Facebook/FoxNews a few minutes ago: John Taylor "Would Megyn Kelly ask questions like that to Hillary? "Miss Clinton,everyone loves you BUT how can you be a good President when your First Lady err Man cannot keep his pants...

    Donald J. Trump’s suggestion that a Fox News journalist had forcefully questioned him at the Republican presidential debate because she was menstruating cost him a speaking slot Saturday night at an influential gathering of conservatives in Atlanta. It also raised new questions about how much longer Republican Party leaders would have to contend with Mr. Trump’s disruptive presence in the primary field. With Mr. Trump at center stage, the event Thursday shattered television viewership records for primary debates: Nearly 24 million people watched. But any hopes that he would try to reinvent himself inside the Cleveland arena as a sober-minded...

    Alexandria, VA – Today, Senator Lindsey Graham released the following statement on the offensive comments about Megyn Kelly: “Due to Donald Trump’s unrelenting and offensive attack on Megyn Kelly and others, we are at a crossroads with Mr. Trump. I applaud Erick Erickson for doing the right thing when he disinvited Donald Trump from a gathering of Republican activists. As a party, we are better to risk losing without Donald Trump than trying to win with him. Enough already with Mr. Trump. “These statements are not worthy of the office he is seeking nor consistent with the leadership we should...

    Embattled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back hard on Sunday at critics who say he went too far with caustic comments about a U.S. television news anchor, insisting no apology was necessary and defending his relations with women. "I've had such an amazing relationship with women in business. They are amazing executives. They are killers. They are phenomenal," Trump said on ABC's "This Week." The billionaire and television personality, who leads the polls in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, appeared on Sunday news shows to rebut the latest wave of outrage triggered by his off-the-cuff talk....

    Levin asserted, “I think that we were all duped. The fact of the matter is that this was a ratings gambit.” Levin claims that “We the people” were overlooked in the debate, and the event became a media spectacle with more emphasis on the show’s moderators than on discussing the important issues that face America. “Even today, it’s all about who has Megyn Kelly’s back. We the people, this is our process. We don’t get that many opportunities to go through the primary process. There are only nine debates,” he said. “The Great One” pointed out that Fox had an...

    Fox News's primetime Republican debate began with an attempt to cow Donald Trump. Would he pledge to forego a third-party candidacy and endorse the eventual Republican nominee? He would not. Did he understand the question? Did he realize that would probably guarantee that Hillary Clinton won the White House? He did. The crowd cheered. Then it was Megyn Kelly's turn. She read him a litany of horrible terms he's used to describe women. He's called them "fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals." Trump's response? He only said that about Rosie O'Donnell. The crowd cheered. (Trump was lying, by the...

    So much for what Fox News thinks of the two leaders in the Breitbart Primary. It’s pretty clear that Fox has an agenda, and that is to destroy Donald Trump while ignoring Sen. Ted Cruz . On the first count, they failed miserably — while they certainly managed to pull off the second one. For now. In spite of Fox’s efforts — that were so blatant that even Bloomberg noticed — Trump survived Thursday’s debate. And while some may say he slipped just a little, it’s clear he still has the momentum and a big lead. The attempt was so...

    On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow said the first primetime debate was “a great debate — between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump” with “establishment” Fox “trying to take out” the businessman and GOP frontrunner. Marlow said that pollster Frank Luntz’s declaration that the primetime debate was “the destruction of a presidential campaign” for Trump is “wishful thinking.” He continued, “We saw what last night’s debate was, which was a great debate. It was a great debate between the Fox News anchors and between Donald Trump. There was also, I enjoyed the [Chris]...

    Earlier tonight Donald Trump made this comment about Megyn Kelly on CNN’s show with Don Lemon: “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her… wherever.” Now apparently I’m in the minority as I don’t think it’s solid that he meant her period. But everyone else apparently does. And tonight Carly Fiorina took to Twitter to call Trump out for it: Even Erick Erickson agrees, saying he has disinvited Trump to the Red State Gathering because of it: As much as I do personally like Donald Trump, his comment about Megyn Kelly on...
