I think the reason is this. Megyn Kelly is, by many men’s standards, attractive. There is an important social dynamic in our society: call it chivalry, white knighting, whatever. It states that pretty women are VERY used to men rushing to be nice to them, because, well, “If I’m nice to her, it...it *could* happen.” Or, in a more misandrist light, men are incapable of thinking with more than one head at the same time. I believe that Megyn Kelly has grown so used to being treated in this way — and so used to taking advantage of it — that she accepted it as automatic, something that just *is*, like the sun going down at night. (Yeah, tell me that’s subliminal, you turkeys. If I had written “sun rising in the morning” you’d have accused me of the same thing.) But what she forgot is that Donald Trump is a billionaire — who has already had sex with, and married, and had children with, women who were far more attractive than she is. Far more attractive than she even was in her prime. So it never occurred to her that Donald would be anything but bedazzled by her looks: and she had no “Plan B” for when that fell through.
from the following:
On the other hand, Jebster had that PW bedazzled look, and rushed to shake hands with the bimbo after the debate. She owned him.
“It is interesting, by the way, that while watching the exchange, I noticed Megyn Kelly looking flustered and humiliated; as though, not only was she unused to a man talking back to her, but that she hadn’t even considered the possibility....”
Your analysis is perfect.
She was pissed, and the crowds reaction really got under her skin.
