Trump's campaign in turmoil

Organisers of a Republican event withdrew frontrunner Donald Trump's invitation after he suggested that a presidential debate moderator was tough on him because she was menstruating.

The off-handed comment unleashed a new storm of criticism against Trump as he seeks the party's nomination for next year's election and leads in the polls.

The bombastic billionaire came under fire from his party after a particularly crude accusation that Fox News' Megyn Kelly - one of the moderators at Thursday's Republican presidential debate - singled him out with rough treatment.

Trump had already called out the station's moderators for asking 'unfair' questions after Kelly brought up his use of derogatory language towards women in Twitter posts. Kelly asked him if this was befitting a man vying to be the US president.

But he turned up the tone on Friday evening when he told CNN that Kelly 'is just somebody I didn't have a lot of respect for'.

'You can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever,' he continued.

Those remarks prompted a prominent grassroots Republican event in Atlanta - RedState Gathering - to rescind a speaking invitation for Saturday.

Meanwhile, Trump's campaign told various US media on Saturday that he sacked top political advisor Roger Stone, as the controversy churned on.

'Roger wanted to use the campaign for his own personal publicity ... and Mr Trump wants to keep the focus of the campaign on how to Make America Great Again,' a campaign spokesperson told CNN.

Stone, however, took issue on Twitter with that version of events.

'Sorry realDonaldTrump didn't fire me - I fired Trump. Diasagree (sic) with diversion to food fight with megynkelly away core issue messages,' he wrote.

Carly Fiorina, the only female Republican presidential candidate, tweeted: 'Mr. Trump: There. Is. No. Excuse.'

She later added 'I stand with megynkelly.'

Trump tried late Saturday to backtrack from the comment about Kelly, stating that he was not referring to the body part most people had in mind from his remark on blood.

'Re Megyn Kelly quote: 'you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever' (NOSE). Just got on w/thought,' Trump tweeted.

'So many 'politically correct' fools in our country. We have to all get back to work and stop wasting time and energy on nonsense!' he also tweeted.

Somehow, the Media understands Barry Soetoro’s “nuance” yet fully twists and distorts whatever Donald says

Carly. Fiorino. I. Will. Never. Vote. For. You.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

She’s running for the VP slot.

Sadly I agree. And they are deceitful about it.

They say they are fair and balanced. At least the other Leftist cable networks are proud enough not to.

Getting rid of an advisor you are unhappy with is not being in turmoil.

You will learn everything about Trump’s agenda in this book. Much more detail than any candidate’s web sites.

I love the way that Trump is stirring things up; but I’ve never felt convinced that he really wants to be Prez.

Yea, especially the way he gives in so quick and easy. < /sarcasm>

Just Rupert Murdock using his other hatchet network lapdogs to attach Trump.

Sky News = Rupert Murdock run by some Euro wuss rather than a Roger Ailes who told Rupe to go pound sand when he wanted them to downplay Trump. If it was Ailes idea to attack Trump instead (which I doubt), that didn’t work out so well and Ailes tends to not make many mistakes.

Rupert Murdoch Wants to Stop Donald Trump, But First He’s Got to Rein In Roger Ailes

Ailes gave the go ahead.

Thank you for that link, he can articulate my thoughts so much better than I can. GO TRUMP :)

[nickcarraway]

Maybe he should be uninvited because he is an unrepentant socialist.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The problem is that disaffected voters see the object of their disaffection, the DC Uniparty, attacking Trump, and that makes them like him.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

They'd be better off just shutting up and giving him lots of rope.

Thanks for all of your help and advice.

It will be an important decision to make, and as I said previously, I’ll be watching.

Best,

I don’t see why sky and somewhere else, said it meant “menstruating”, I didn’t get that but I do see, a number of people did.

She’s running for the VP slot.

I thought she had potential, especially against Hitlery, but it seems she has picked the wrong horse.

MeAgain is such a hypocrite.

First of all, the quote was, “And you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes; blood coming out of her — whatever. She was in my opinion — she was off-base." It was not the word, "wherever!" Get the quote right for God's sake!

Let's change the word "whatever" to "ears."

Here is Trump's statement with a more specific use of the word "whatever":

"And you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes; blood coming out of her — ears." Now the imagery speaks of the Ebola sickness.

Do you suppose Trump was talking about a sickness in that room that was on the level of the Ebola virus? I think so!

Trump is in turmoil while Jeb is just “shaking up” his campaign team.
