Going into Thursday night's first Republican presidential debate, it seemed as though nothing and no one could stop Donald Trump's rise to the top of the primary field. Insinuate that Mexico is sending rapists to America? No problem! Question the war hero credentials of Arizona Sen. John McCain? Poll numbers go up!
But, on the debate stage in Cleveland, Trump faced off with popular Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly -- and it didn't go well for him. At all.

Is Trump Megyn Kelly’s kryptonite?
The entire world KNOWS she got the job based on her looks. And I’ll venture to say that most of her viewers watch based on her looks.
“on the debate stage in Cleveland, Trump faced off with popular Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly — and it didn’t go well for him. At all.”
Granted that my info comes from Free Republic, and not from the DC/NY/LA axis, but almost everything I have seen is just the opposite: it didn’t go well for Kelly. At all.

If kryptonite is a metaphor for embarassing, snarky and on a witch hunt, then yes.
She didn’t weaken Trump so no. She’s more like a road bump that gets in your way and helps you to fly.
“LOL! What was this person smoking?”
Unsold copies of the “com-Post”.
“As is every election cycle, they are trying to pick our candidate.”
Yes! Only the anointed ones in the Beltway/NY City mediot/pundit cliques know what is best for the ignorant ones, who live in the real world.
Heck, even Lindsey Graham is taking Trump’s side against Kelly’s treatment of Trump today.
That debate last night probably caused at least a million fans to figure out what many of us figured out years ago: FOX IS Faux. They are not ‘fair and balanced’: They are are promoters of the Establishment Elite masquerading as Populists.
I bet Kelly’s behavior last night will cost Faux to lose a significant numbers of viewers overall, and cause her own show to lose a LOT.
I hope so. Trump is a self serving a$$-clown who apparently has zero principles.
Megyn Kelly has daddy issues.
Well put. And her daddy is old Rupert. She’s just being a good girl ... doing what daddy says to do.
Most leaders are narcissistic. To compare Obama's long public record of disasters with Trump's record of personal accomplishments and having raised accomplished children, simply because they are both narcissistic, is flawed logic.
Is Megyn Kelly Donald Trump’s kryptonite?
She took a beating and her ratings will no doubt suffer.
Being a snotty bitch is not respectful of our presidential candidates.
I was for her before I was against her.
As of last night.
I was not comparing DT’s track record to BHO.
I was comparing their personalities.
True, this personality is common among political types but that doesn’t make it any more attractive.
On stage last night, I was more attracted to personalities such as Dr. Carson and Carly.
Although I am not supporting them.
Kelly’s an amazing broadcaster and interviewer. Thanks to her for exposing more of Trump’s weaknesses so people don’t find out about them for the first time if he ever ends up debating Billary.
If Trump fans are riled up about it, it only means she must have hit him right on the mark. If she had said something completely silly and off-base, they would just dismiss it.
Megyn did more damage to herself last night than to Trump. She really disappointed me...and that is important because there is only one of me, which makes MY opinion 100% correct.
