Here's how I would have handled MeGynocology Kelly's question. I feel it was a missed opportunity for Trump:
KELLY: Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you dont use a politicians filter. However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women. Youve called women you dont like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about womens looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?
TRUMP: (Pauses) (Glares at Kelly)
TRUMP: Really? *THAT* is your first question for me? REALLY??? We have Iran about to get a nuclear weapon, and Obama helping it along... we have a massive invasion by illegal aliens who kill women on piers in Sanctuary Cities... we've got a crappy economy where jobs are being lost by the millions, Obamacare destroying the medical profession, China owning us in trade agreements, Obama bypassing Constitutional laws and restrictions .... and your main concern is if I called a woman UGLY???!? (momentary pause)
TRUMP: Yes, I called a woman ugly. Next question please. And lets make the next one actually one that affects Americans!
(WILD APPLAUSE)
If we get something like this in front of one of his higher-level aids, he just might say this.
Whatever, That is EXACTLY what he should have said. And, I bet, what most people would have expected him to say.
"Let me tell you what's really ugly, Megyn. Ugly is Iran with a nuclear weapons program. Ugly is reducing our military into a giant social engineering petri dish and diminishing our ability to wage war and win. Uglyis being owned economically by the Chinese via exceptionally bad trade policies. Ugly is an out of control illegal immigration situation and no control of our borders for the sake of a few self interested business lobbies and for a political voting block. Ugly is the average American trying to get by in this abysmal economy brought on by bad government and bad business practices. Ugly is a President acting like a dictator and getting away with it. Ugly is the other two branches of the Federal Government enabling him to do it. Ugly is an out of control Federal Government engaged in out of control spending to feed itself and trample on the rights of the citizenry it is supposed to be supporting in the process. Ugly is the DC based oligarchy that has developed in its wake over time. That's what's ugly, Megyn, and it's about to get much, much uglier."
bet this slut slept her way to the top. Who could possibly take her serious?Donald doesn’t....good for him
You got MY Applause!!! Bravo!!
LAZ 2016
I’d Hit It!
Agreed. This would have been the moment for Trump to have countered with “Was there a question in there? All I heard was a pointless editorial.”
Trump does upset the applecart.
Then backs up to do it again.
No one in the media is accustomed to a target that actually fights back. At most they assume the target will give a tepid response, then blubber like a baby.
They forget, Trump has been swimming with sharks his entire life.
Trump’s idea of warfare is the same as Genghis Kahn’s.
If someone opposes you respectfully, do the same.
If someone gets dirty, lay waste to them. Leave neither man, woman or child alive. Destroy their homes, crops and livestock. Burn down their town and leave a mountain of bodies in the roads leading there.
The next town will surrender without a fight.
Total war.
He should hire Laz as an advisor!
WOW! I checked out the Newt video(s) and was very impressed with how he handled the questioners. Thank you for enlightening me; I never saw those debates.
Perfect. He handled it well, this is perfect.
(But if he handled it this way, he might not have dominated headlines for the last 5 days.)
