Donald Trump ratcheted up his feud with Fox News host Megyn Kelly over her role as moderator on Thursday night’s Republican debate, telling CNN’s Don Lemon he has no respect for her and thinks she’s “highly overrated."
"What is it with you and Megyn Kelly?” Lemon asked Trump, who had spent most of the past 24 hours slamming Fox News and Kelly on social media and in TV interviews. "She gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions,” Trump told Lemon. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her — wherever.”
Trump also called Kelly a "lightweight" and went on to claim he wasn’t alone in his disapproval of Kelly’s debate-night demeanor, and that a source at Fox News told him they had been “inundated” with a record number of negative letters from angry viewers.
Not really. They were not attributed to anyone and sourced. One allegation has already been proven false.
Kelly started this narrative a week ago with the Trump "rape" allegation, which fizzled after Ivana Trump denied it and said Trump would make a "fantastic President."
Yes I know....but that does not account for how they did this Kabar...it was ‘totally’ distasteful, raw and crude what they did to Trump....AND I say again...these were **”Presidential Candidates**” ...and they weren’t much better with the other candidates either.....why on earth would ask candidates if they ‘heard from God’???
This wasn’t about the candidates...this was about using them for “Props” on another Fox reality show....no wonder the hosts desks looked like the X factor.
so u r a die hard fan of a pro-gay marriage, pro-gun control, pro-amnesty Megyn Kelly, really?
Sounds like Obama. He is thin skinned.
Okay, then it doesn’t bother you that we missed out on hearing about actual issues of concern to the nation, and you’re completely satisfied that we now have heard Trump say he’s not sorry for what he said about Rosie.
LMAO
You’re welcome to that opinion. I and folks like me are don’t with Megan. Perhaps the CNN viewers will switch programing now that she has disgraced herself to this level.
LoL.
.....”I have no taste for un-needed drama”...
Uh????....Well what did think Kelly was pulling off it wasn’t un-needed Drama.
Those weren’t questions....they were ‘statements designed to create further drama..... Sheesh!
Yeah, they were BS “questions”, more like Wallace’s old man startling a small business owner by jumping out from behind a door: “Sixty Minutes!”
I don’t think Trump as leader expected home court advantage but did plan on at least a neutral forum from the “fair and balanced” news network. I think he was surprised at getting rabbitpunched first by Babyface Haier, and surrounded by Wallace Jr. and then kidney punched over-and-over by the bimbo.
Kelly’s new MSM friends should be shunning or laughing at her early and often this weekend for trying to buy their friendship this pathetic way.
I called it a forum. These are not debates.
Lsst night’s program stuck with Kardashianeske moments, with occasional breathers.
No thanks.
Agreed. Just a stunningly pathetic situation.
Trump gave them their best ratings ever. And when the debate moves over to CNN in September, they will get their highest ratings ever. No Trump, no audience.
Nonsense. Newt was on fake fire for about 10 seconds about the press and then he quietly slipped back into his place. He didn't get personal like Trump does. He kept it general.
Recognize this?
RULE 5: “Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.” There is no defense. It’s irrational. It’s infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. (Pretty crude, rude and mean, huh? They want to create anger and fear.)
or this?
RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
These are Alinskys rules for radicals and it's *exactly* what Trump is doing to every media person that is tearing him down. Megyn Kelly? No talent, unprofessional, bimbo. Luntz, conniving, childlike manipulator. Holy cow no wonder Trump is scaring the crap out the the left and the media. He's using their own freaking playbook against them!
I can’t honestly see it even as a forum........the tone Fox set robed all the other candidates as well.....it was simply a reality show with candidates as props. Terrible!
Nah, I think Trump will hang around awhile. Much as I think "the Donald" is a political fraud, I don't think he did that badly in the debate - especially considering it was his first. While I like Kelly, her war on women question really was dumb. Trump was going to have to address the issue eventually, but Megyn Kelly could have asked it in a more even handed way. Where she really got him was the question "When did you actually become a Republican?". Trump's answer about "evolving" sounded pretty Obamaesque. And trying to compare himself to Reagan didn't go well.
I won’t relish the demise of Trump himself, but I will enjoy the Sweet Tears of Unfathomable Sadness from all the emotionally stunted or retarded adults - some of whom migrated to FR - who have been drooling at Trump’s feet. You shall suffer, and it will be a delightful thing.
It will be like the end of a cult of personality. The good news is conservative leaning people tend to believe in God, so when they get suckered by con artists who eventually are revealed to be frauds, the emotional toll is probably not as bad as it would be for a secular leftist who has nothing else to fall back on.
LOL, Megyn jumped the shark.
Good post...exactly right!
Doug ....you do know that one of the moderators coming up ahead, on Fox debates, is the CEO of the Company Trump sued?
Bingo
'so u r a' ???? , LOLO
Her segments on the Little sisters of the poor being persecuted under Obamacare on Birth control and the farming of baby parts by PP (which she did ~ a half dozen shows on) were absolute home runs.
She made social libs want to crawl under their beds and hide. She beats the crap out of them on their war on wimmin theme.
She may very well be a social liberal (as defined here) in her personal life. I never ruled that out,
But she hits home runs for social conservatives on the Kelly file regularly. I NEVER miss it.
Good insight. Freepers, many of us, dont even how how to handle it. We are so used to being gentlemanly to our enemies and playing by the losers rules they’ve set for us and know we will abide by.
