Trump was unhappy with some of the questions Kelly asked him when she moderated Thursday evening’s GOP Debate and posted a series of aggressive tweets through the wee hours Friday morning. Then, as Breitbart News reported, in a Friday evening appearance on CNN Tonight, Trump said that Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.” Many interpreted this comment as inappropriate or even sexist.
Fiorina, the only female among the Republican presidential candidates, was the first to criticize Trump’s comments, tweeting that there was “no excuse” for what Trump said and that she stood with Kelly. Pataki tweeted that the “outrage” at his fellow New Yorker was “long overdue” and called it a “sad but predictable meltdown from Trump.”
Late Friday, RedState Editor-in-Chief Erick Erickson disinvited Trump from the RedState Gathering, currently taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. Erickson praised Trump for being a “blunt talker” who “connects with so much of the anger of the Republican base” but said that his “inappropriate” comment had crossed “real lines of decency.”
Trump fired back with a statement of his own, calling Erickson a “total loser,” and tweeting, “Political correctness is killing our country.” He also claimed that he meant blood coming out of Kelly’s nose.
Many were not buying Trump’s belated excuse, including Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld, as well as more of the Republican presidential candidates. Beginning on Saturday morning, several others joined the “Shame on Trump” bandwagon, similar to how they had denounced his previous controversial attacks on and his time as a POW during the Vietnam War.

Trump’s is going to do 3rd party. I hope he does.
I understand your point, but it only gets you so far in my book. A pastor on my FB page posted this gem.

To see the GOPe candidates take sides with Hillary, Sanders and the rest of the liberal ilk is something I wondered about, until today of course, then it all came together...
There are some ‘GOP’ so called candidates that are really the same as Hillary...and they can't run against her, they would never win, so they come over to the Conservative side of things, but things are coming out in the process....
Trump is neither GOP or DNC, Trump is Trump, BUT Trump tells it like it is, he is a world wide known businessman and he doesn't take flax from anyone...he's the nicest guy you'd ever want to met, but don't cross him...
So now that I have seen what I am seeing, Bush, Chispy Crème, Paul, Carli, Graham, need to return to Hillary's side of the isle....
That leaves us with Trump, Cruz, Hucklebee, Perry, Santorum, Pataki on our side of the isle....
Now we have a ‘fair’ playing field....let the debates begin, and no news commentators, no flashy dude or dudette talking about how great they are....this is for the candidates and the public voters to decide....
If news people want to voice their opinions, go do it on someone else’s show, not ours....
I am beginning to think the democrat double agents in the republican party WANT Trump to go 3rd party. That, they hope, will guarantee a democrat win.
Funny line...
These rino and gop-e dim lite fools don’t realize or accept how much they are hated. They betrayed their electorate...many times. All should resign immediately.
What’s so sad is that the people on FR cheering this on think that taking Trump out is going to leave an opening for (insert name of preferred candidate here), and that the media will NEVER pull this with THAT guy.
Frigging morons to a person.
This battle has nothing to do with the Democrats anymore. It is about the base vs. the Pharisees of Fox and the GOP. As Ann Coulter said this week, THEY are the 3rd Party. Let the chips fall where they may.
LOL, ya think?
This is so like sniping one might hear among middle school girls. If you can’t get over these petty grievances, you are not fit to be the leader of the free world. Grow up, people!
“Character used to matter to people especially on FR. “
The GOPe has all kinds of character, including treason, cowardice and back-stabbing the American people.
This is not really about supporting or not supporting Trump. It is about fairness and respect for the republic. I have not chosen my candidate yet. But I do not like bullies, cheaters and fakers. This outrage over Trump is so phony and, shall I say, trumped up that it is ridiculous. All of these people transact in insults all day long. It is what they do. Now they act like their virgin ears can’t handle a suggestion that a woman might be moody due to PMS. Puh-leease. They are feigning outrage to manipulate the public with emotion.
Im not even sure this nation is a nation anymore
Damn, Erickson sure holds himself in high esteem.
Geesh, what a fat pantload!
Trump just walked into it. Total unforced error. Anybody would know what “wherever” means, or could mean. Self take-down. Doesn’t matter about the debate question. He knew he was going to get that. Then making it personal. Doesn’t matter what she was trying to do. Look at what Fiorina did to the guy with piss running down his leg. Made it against the political opponent. Booyah!
Whoa. GREAT post, Ghost!!!!
Bottom line: Americans are no longer a serious people and media corporations are making gazillions of dollars enabling peoples’ ADD
Freepers used to want someone who would fight back. How times have changed.
Your Groucho Marx quote is great.
Bingo. That is it.
