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.
To: Conscience of a Conservative"Hmmm. McCain called Trump supporters “crazies”. You called them “North Koreans”."
I know, right?
And just a few above him is "Milton Miteybad" who says we are "mice".
Slamming Freepers just like McCain did is a dis-service to all patriots wanting to save this country from a bona fide invasion.
This whole thing got me thinking about the women who want to join the Rangers and other military combat groups. They want to play with the big boys and do the cool big boy things, but once the going gets rough, they run and hide behind their “lady parts.”
If you are ready to dish it out, you better be willing to take it.
No sympathy here for Kelly or Fox News.

Red State Dumps Trump on Keynote Speaker replaces with Fox’s Kelly......
Donald Trump was dumped from a prime speaking role to an important gathering of ‘conservative activists’ on Friday for his criticism of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after a combustible debate performance.
Trump was scheduled to deliver the keynote address on Saturday night at a conference in Atlanta organized by Red State, an influential conservative group.
Red State chief Erick Erickson said he had disinvited Trump from the event because of what he described as “demeaning” remarks about Kelly who was one of three moderators during the first major Republican debate on Thursday night in Cleveland.
“While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far,” Erickson said, adding he had invited Kelly, one of Fox’s highest profile anchors, to attend his conference in Trump’s place.
That’s worth a yee haw, cowboy. The cows can’t be the bulls too.
Oh now that should be REALLY cute.

Trump’s response....
“This is just another example of weakness through being politically correct,” his campaign said in a statement.
“For all of the people who were looking forward to Mr. Trump coming, we will miss you. Blame Erick Erickson, your weak and pathetic leader. We’ll now be doing another campaign stop at another location.”
"See Ross Perot. If not for him, Clinton would’ve lost."
Explain exactly how.
Yes, asses will be asses.
This is like trying to celebrate Christmas with the pre-repentant Grinch. No can do.
He’s correct
Biggest mistake Trump can make now is not more insults
It would be to apologize like ALL politicians do when it gets hot
Please do not apologize The Donald
I think you know what’s coming and are just stringing it out in cutesiness.
Perot soaked up what would have primarily been GOP votes for GHWB.
That is a hazard of the game. Does it need to be a fatal hazard, no. Perot was lukewarm compared to Trump and there is no GOP heir apparent to force Trump into that spot.
Some are saying that because Trumps donated $100 million to the Clinton foundation and attended the family weddings. He is completely ‘taking the heat of Hillary’ so she can diffuse her email-gate fiasco ......
No doubt Trumps a wildcard....and we all know it.
To show he unashamedly cares, even if he is doing it clumsily, would say more to a lot of people.
Loose cannon, with a mind of his own.
But it is notable that he did not approach the Democrats for support when he saw what America cared about.
My impression is that too many focus on Trump’s public persona, something that he’s spent years crafting. Like an actor. He has used the press to his advantage for years. A lot of what we see is a calculated public persona.
If he was a psychological mess he wouldn’t have been able to run a successful real estate empire. If he was impulsive he wouldn’t be a successful businessman and negotiator. But we know that he manages to get big buildings built in major cities. That takes planning on many levels. That means he knows how to manage a large staff. And that he knows a lot about psychology.
Trump’s not a politician but he’s learning the game while playing in the highest league in the world, the race for the American Presidency. This first debate was Trump’s first political debate ever. He makes blunders, but he doesn’t apologize for them and grovel for forgiveness from the press. He just throws out a lot of chaff to cover his mistakes and soldiers on while proclaiming that he was the victor. One thing he does know is how to use publicity to his advantage. And before you despair too much pay attention to how Cruz gets along well with Trump. I think there is a message in that.
"I think you know what’s coming and are just stringing it out in cutesiness."
Translation please, I have no clue what that means there.
More cutesiness on your part.
"More cutesiness on your part."
