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.

“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.”
Indeed. Just as in the two past Prez elections, the media takes out those who it fears the most first, until finally the only one left standing is the one they know will lose for sure.
At 4:58 in the 6:52 tape Mr. Trump said of Chris Wallace “...blood pouring out of his eyes too...” Has everyone gone mad?
Miserable.
Not so fast. Last time around the candidates agreed to a Dec 27th debate moderated by Donald Trump. I think this will end with a short televised series called Presidential Apprentice where all the candidates will have to impress Donald Trump and one by one someone will get fired. The last remaining candidate will get Trump's endorsement and perhaps some campaign money as the winner of Presidential Apprentice.
I suspect Linda Graham and Rand Paul will be the first two to get fired. Jeb wont get fired until the end when it's just he, Ben Carson and Ted Cruz left.
Post of the day
Trump is useful for bringing an issue or two to the forefront. That’s great by me and if he manages to wrinkle some media noses along the way that’s all the better. But vote for him? Lol, no way.
Politics is a blood sport, they all are bent on taking out the top guy so they can improve their lot.
The GOPe lines up one by one.
If you ever wondered who they are, now you know.
I have read some of your posts to other people on here and you are plain RUDE....
Take your hatred somewhere else...and especially don’t spew it at me....
Trump didn't say that of course. It was inferred.
When President Harry Truman picked up his “Washington Post” early on December 6, 1950, to read a review of his daughter Margaret Truman’s singing performance, he was livid. Though conceding that Miss Truman was “extremely attractive,” Paul Hume, the “Post’s” music critic, stated bluntly that “Miss Truman cannot sing very well” and “has not improved” over the years. The president wrote the following letter to the 34-year old Hume, whom he compared to the columnist Westbrook Pegler (”a rat,” in Truman’s view).
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
Mr Hume:
I’ve just read your lousy review of Margaret’s concert. I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an “eight ulcer man on four ulcer pay.”
It seems to me that you are a frustrated old man who wishes he could have been successful. When you write such poppy-cock as was in the back section of the paper you work for it shows conclusively that you’re off the beam and at least four of your ulcers are at work.
Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you’ll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!
Pegler, a gutter snipe, is a gentleman alongside you. I hope you’ll accept that statement as a worse insult than a reflection on your ancestry.
H.S.T.
SJW = social justice warrior
I had to Google it...posting for those, like me, who didn’t know
If Megyn Kelly wants to play in big leagues where it's rough then you have to roll with the punch’s.
This is a non issue and because they can't get any traction anywhere else lets jump on Trump because he said things to the poor defenseless woman.
If these women want to play here then leave the defenseless woman defense at home and be a feminist, you can't have it both ways.
No, actually, I think he did. He supported MK. I’m disappointed.
They don’t get it. The reason Trump is resonating is because all the right people hate him.
Or whatever.
I saw that on Twitter. So true.
I’m unsure of who to support ATM..I love Cruz....but I frikkin’ despise how FOX has treated Trump and others. Major footbullet for them.
This is what someone on FR sent me this morning, I had totally forgotten about this:
Let us not forget who Erick Erickson is. ‘
This is Erick Erickson from 2011:
Enough (on Sarah Palin)
This was the response from William A Jacobsen on Legal Insurrection (a true Conservative with an excellent web-site):
Erick Erickson: “moving on from Sarah Palin is like leaving Scientology”
Trust me I have better names to describe Erick Erickson but its not suitable for this forum
