Megyn Kelly: I overestimated Trump's anger management skills
fortune ^ | OCTOBER 13, 2015 | Tory Newmyer

Posted on 10/13/2015 7:22:00 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Looking back on her feud with Donald Trump, Fox News host Megyn Kelly said she’s learned that “we may have overestimated his anger management skills.” The primetime cable news anchor ended up on the receiving end of Trump’s ire after the first Republican presidential debate back in August. At the start of that event, Kelly a moderator, quoted some of the GOP frontrunner’s most disparaging comments about women and asked if those remarks would cripple him in the general election. After the debate, Trump launched a series of personal attacks at Kelly, while she, for the most part, declined to engage. Speaking at Fortune‘s Most Powerful Women summit in Washington, D.C., Kelly explained both her question and how she responded to the fallout. “The reason I asked that was not a comment on Megyn Kelly,” she said. “It was a comment on his electability, and what he’s likely to hear from Hillary Clinton should he be the nominee, and you’re already hearing that from Hillary Clinton. That’s what I get paid to do: anticipate the candidate’s weaknesses and poke ‘em. That’s our job, and it does require a certain amount of fearlessness … But it’s not like I was looking to make an example out of Donald Trump.” Kelly said the first round of questions that the Fox News moderators posed to the candidates during the debate all followed the same electability theme behind the question to Trump. “No one was given a pass,” she said. And as Trump turned to Twitter and interviews with other outlets to attack Kelly, she decided it was “better to take the high road.” “It did not behoove any of us to get engaged in a war with a presidential candidate,” Kelly said.

She wants him to give her one

I’m dead serious and know this from 8 years in Manhattan

Fembots underneath want a real hombre to ravage or ravish them

They just hate to admit it

A few more years with househusband and Megyn will be addicted to those adult western romance novels where the male lead is called “Longarm”

to me, this is what she was doing , it is as old as the hills. Mr. Trump, have you quit beating your wife. It’s unanswerable without a big problem. She thought she had him. Now, as far as her leaving it alone and moving on. LOL what the hell is this article all about then. She is still steaming down inside. A woman scorned.

What goes unmentioned is her Jesus comment to Kasich I think it was.

She also asked Cruz if God had told him anything.

Bloody Megyn didn’t learn a damn thing from the experience.

She will always be an arrogant bitch.

If can mix OANN with Newsmax.TV and use BBC News, on Filmon, or VPN for breaking world news and local feeds for breaking national or local news in America you have a system in place. You might have swallow your pride and use CBSNwhen needed as well as radio streams. You can’t forget radio. Add conservative radio shows to the mix and read the web. You are set. Can skip Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and shows n CBS like Face The Nation and CBS This Morning.

Megyn and Fox underestimated Trump’s staying power.

Cheeese. Megyn STILL has blood shooting out of wherever.

Get over it, Megyn or you'll bleed out.

I agree. I think CNN did a better Republican debate than FOX did, but both were more or less set up to get the candidates to fight with each other instead of taking on the DEMS!

This was very clear with the DEM debate last night. The DEM candidates might make negative comments about each other out on the campaign trail, but during the debate last night they were actually respectful to each other. I also heard that often the same question was asked of each candidate.

NOT SO with our side. The Republicans are spending more time beating up on Donald Trump than on the DEMS.....that is except Ben Carson and Ted Cruz. If young folks watch both Republican and Democrat debates, they will probably agree with the DEMS that the “Republicans” are the “mean people” because just look how they trash each other!!!

After Trump’s event in NH Monday we see that Scott Walker’s call for the other Republican candidates to join him in “taking out Donald Trump” is going forward. The little twit planted by the Bush campaign has certainly confirmed their joint pledge to “beat up on Donald...NOT the DEMS”!

Agree totally! I have been on OANN since the first Republican debate, and do NOT turn to fox or other liberal networks unless I know Donald Trump is to be on. :)

OANN = One America News Network
Verizon does carry here in FL. Heard Com-cast is considering carrying it. Go online to http://www.oann.com and find the link to push your cable/satellite TV carrier to provide OAN.

Megyn needs to STOP with her Trump obsession. She was wrong, he told her so, she needs to move on.

Those ratings are due solely to Donald Trump. It has been reported that her ratings since have dipped so much so that once again Bill O is back on top.

Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of angry posters to her FB page tell the story.

She’s done. Her rise is cut off. From here it will be all downhill. The only question is how fast.
