Republicans across the party’s wide political spectrum, increasingly worried about the GOP’s ability to appeal to women voters, pointedly criticized Donald Trump on Saturday for comments that appeared to suggest Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly questioned him forcefully during Thursday’s debate because she was menstruating.
Even in today’s rough and tumble politics, where a premium is placed on extreme language and biting discourse, some saw Trump’s latest rhetorical fusillade as vaulting past tolerable limits, even for a candidate who says he doesn’t have the time or inclination to be politically correct.
Rivals for the Republican presidential nomination and other party figures said he should apologize, or even withdraw from the race.
Erick Erickson, the organizer of a large conservative gathering in Atlanta, canceled Trump’s speaking engagement there on Saturday, bringing about a bitter back and forth with Trump. The only woman running for the party’s nomination, Carly Fiorina, said she stood by Kelly and wrote pointedly on Twitter: “Mr. Trump: There. Is. No Excuse.”
Senator Lindsey Graham was even more forceful, saying that Trump was spreading “hate speech,” and that the very future of conservatism would be at stake if his rhetoric is not forcefully rejected.

you will not convince the FR Trumpers that he is a Leftist.
Never said he wasn’t. Actually, i have said several times he is a moderate Democrat at best.
What i am arguing is for intellectual honesty. He did not get in the non-debate debate and he has not gotten it post non-debate debate.
Most, on both sides of the isle seem to be doing their best to knock out Trump any way they can. I would like to have seen him ask genuine questions that were not design to bait him.
Otherwise, i guess the whole country has become so sensative they can’t take anything that even sounds like an insult?
I mean their are some folk who are ready to hang Trump in the public square and for what?
Kind of embarassing. Almost as embarrassing as M.K. photos and her discussing her husband’s penis on the H.S. show?
True, they won’t admit that he is a Leftist...and FR has been taking over by Liberals pretending to be Conservative.
You are right about people becoming sensitive, but isn’t Trump AS sensitive? He, by his own admission, has thin skin. If he could take insults, he wouldn’t bother with these other distractions.
Agree?
You misunderstood. That was my point.
Agree?
Sure any candidate should take the high road. Do they? Are the one’s who are doggy piling on Trump are they taking the high road?
Is the media givng Trump the benefit of the doubt or do you think they are trying to make blood shoot out of Trump’s whereever?
Has anybody ask Trump a serious question?
Has anybody ask Bush a serious question?
The next debate is Cruz going to stand around for 40 minutes before they finally ask him a dumb question?
I can hardly wait.
.
In before the:
Why oh why doesn’t Trump just let this go? / sarc
It appears the lying media is like a little dog biting Trump’s trouser leg, or humping it.
The one thing about Trump, he didn’t leave four People to be Die horrible Deaths in Benghazi while pleading for help.
Selective outrage, the tool of Tools everywhere.
