ATLANTA Michael Pemberton, a 65-year-old conservative from Kentucky, started the day in a good mood. He was attending his second RedState Gathering, and ready to hear from 10 of the Republican Party's presidential candidates. He dug into breakfast coffee and fruit and sat down with another conference-goer.
"One of the chaps across me asked, 'Did you hear the news?'" recalled Pemberton. "I thought he was going to tell me that a sinkhole opened up in Kentucky and I couldn't go again. But no: He said, they disinvited Donald Trump. I lost my appetite."
The TV news confirmed it. RedState's outgoing editor-in-chief, Erick Erickson, made an 11th hour call to disinvite Trump after the GOP presidential front-runner told CNN that Fox News's Megyn Kelly had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever" when she grilled him during Thursday's presidential debate.
Pemberton grabbed a sharpie and a note card and scrawled out "I AM DONALD TRUMP." He affixed it to his jacket with an American flag pin and grudgingly walked into the conference, determined never to come again....

Trump should rise or fall based on his political positions. Let the GOP voters decide. He should not be forced out by drama queens who fake a scandal to force him out.
I agree. Didn’t Kelly and FOX realize how ridiculous they looked and would only lose credibility?
I would agree.....
Political nature will take it’s course..it’s never fair though...It’s a verbal and image contact sport.
It might help you to get your head around this if you do a internet search and find the FOX news clips from the 2012 debate that they hosted in Florida.
There were some 7-8 candidates including Romney, and she pretty much did exactly the same things with the same tone.
Prefer a good vodka ;)
Thanks for sharing that...it explains everything. Follow the $$...
I see your point.
The ‘15’ second rule...lol
So far I am liking Trump but if Trump stumbles I will go on to who I think is the next best candidate. That is what you have to do and if your favorite candidate does not win then you have to go on to your next best favorite.
The liberals were supposed to be in charge. In waltzes Trump.

onona: “Has it ever been more clear how out-of-control the puppet masters are?”
oughtsix: “Never clearer. You make an excellent and outstanding point.”
Ditto x2. Trump hasn’t broken the law. The sole basis for the current wholesale leftwing/media attack is his refusal to abide by PC groupthink’s behavioral guidelines. A high-profile person drawing attention to this vile concept - one that damages and destroys people, businesses, and this country - is enormously important.
I admire Trump for his incredible skill; but I don’t think I would vote for him.
It is odd. I dislike Trump, but the panty-waisted pansies of the GOP are trying to drive me to his camp! I think Cruz is the only one who hasn’t jumped on the “What a Big Meanie!” bandwagon.
If my own GOP Senator, the beloved Media idol McCain, hadn’t repeatedly called ME names, maybe I’d feel some sympathy for Kelly. But Trump has been far gentler with her than my own Senator from Arizona has been to me - yet TRUMP has to apologize?
“RedState’s outgoing editor-in-chief, Erick Erickson, made an 11th hour call to disinvite Trump...”
Did he ‘unfriend’ him on facebook too?
STE=Q
Megyn could have been hosting Miss Universe when she chit-chatted into the commercial breaks.
Exactly like they did McDaniel in Mississippi
I did not make either of those comments. Just sayin’.
“I did not make either of those comments. Just sayin.”
My apologies - should have been grania.
I'm assuming I'm getting no disagreement on that. <^..^>
“I’m assuming I’m getting no disagreement on that. <^..^>”
Nooo...the puppetmasters’ masks are off!
