Trump Blasts ‘Nasty,’ ‘Unfair’ Debate Questions
Time.com ^ | 8/6/15 | Zeke Miller

Posted on 08/06/2015 10:08:52 PM PDT by proust

Trump reserved his harshest criticism for Fox News host Megyn Kelly, who pressed him on a history of critical and insulting remarks about women, complaining, “I think Megyn behaved very nasty to me.”

“I thought it was an unfair question,” he said. “They didn’t ask those questions of anybody else. So I thought it was an unfair question.”

That was horrible of her. I saw Scott and Trump do a head shake to each other. They knew what was happening.

What a disgrace. She should be ashamed of herself. But she’s probably the hit of all the cocktail parties.

Megyn could redeem herself if her first question to Hillary is, “How could you treat Juannita Broaddrick like you did, unless you are part of a war on women?”

How could you defend a child rapist and then tell people the child victim ‘was asking for it?’

Then Megyn will be playing fair.

One thing is absolutely for sure, you will never see the MSM conduct a Democratic debate as harshly as Fox conducted this one for the Republicans. That you can take to the bank!

The MSM would ask Hillary questions like “How can the Republicans dare take away health care from sick children?” and let her expound on a 10 minute Politburo speech.

I’m guessing those are Facebook entries posted further down. So many of the commenters seem genuinely disappointed in Megyn. We will see if she doubles down on this character she’s now playing, or tries to become more fair, a little less sensational for the sake of making news. +

They wrongfully thought their gotcha questions were going to bring Trump down. That’s why Megyn was so giddy all week. She was like a little girl wiggling in her seat because she has to pee. Disgusting! Even those who don’t like Trump saw it for what it was.

Ann Dill Donald J. Trump took away some of Megyn Kelly’s self-importance right off the bat. Her countenance fell to the floor! She deserved it as we agree the debate was loaded against Trump! Fox News, you are the loser tonight. It was obvious from the first question where this debate was headed! Shame on the whole lot of you!

Linda Lee Sanderson I am disappointed in Fox News tonight. I think they were afraid of Donald J. Trump…I do not think they gave him the fair questions that they gave to other candidates that would enable him to shine. I still feel that we need a business man in the white house….Government is big business! There is no more qualified person to handle big business than Donald J. Trump

Kathie Patrizia Fox News is biased. Very, very disappointed in Fox, especially Megan Kelly, extremely unprofessional. Her attitude while she fired her first question at Trump was horrible. The debate is over and she’s still acting childishly

Gary Kalmus I don’t believe the little Luntz crowd. Tonight my opinion of Donald Trump went more positive. I am a devout Fox News fan but tonight I am very disappointed with Fox News and am rethinking my opinion of Fox News.

Huff Post too they love some Megyn tonight.

People there is no Left vs Right. It’s the Establishment vs US.

Fox News couldn’t have made that more obvious tonight.

This might be a career ending moment for Megan Kelly. 10,000 (and counting) negative comments on her facebook page is huge.

No one else got any such questions. Nothing in the same Universe.

This was a Setup by FOX.

They then give Megyn Kelly an hour to analyze who did the best - and she took off on Trump again.

FOX will move on to attack Cruz once they take down Trump.

Mark my words.
