Money quote:
“Donald Trump is not very complicated. He functions in a tough world full of strong men and women who he employs and competes with and in his world when someone hits him he hits back. He treated Megyn Kelly the same way he would treat anyone else who challenged or attacked him.
“There’s a word for that, it’s called Equality.”
Trump should have acknowledged her strong point--not her logic; not her priorities; not her sense of proportion; not her misunderstanding of what a "debate" actually is (this was not a debate). Her strong point is that she is a very attractive girl; and that puts every normal man at a little disadvantage. But acknowledging that point, would have been one way to turn the tables on her; to put everything into perspective. He could have quietly coupled a nice comment on her looks, but with a factual explanation that his private comments to particular people--whether blunt or crude or whatever--had nothing to do with an airing of what he would do as President for the loyal men & women of America.
