Trump on blood remark: no apology necessary, 'I cherish women'
al Reuters ^ | 08/09/2015 | Doina Chiacu and Megan Cassella

Embattled Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hit back on Sunday at critics who say he went too far with caustic comments about a U.S. television news anchor, insisting no apology was necessary and defending his relations with women.

Trump is under fire for criticizing Fox anchor Megyn Kelly during and after a Republican debate on Thursday. Asked about Kelly in a CNN interview on Friday, Trump said: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."

The real estate mogul and television personality, who remains ahead of his 16 rivals in the race for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, appeared on Sunday news shows to rebut the outrage triggered by his off-the-cuff talk.

Interesting that nobody commented on Kelly when she defended TRUMP when the media was pawning the story he raped his x-wife.

Melissa Harris Perry might be able to help her out with that.

I don’t want to be added to the petition. I just choose to ignore the troll from here on out. He/she seems to have an agenda. Don’t feed the trolls!

I had a picture of Megyn sick from Ebola with blood dripping out of her eyes, ears, nose and mouth—and willing to spread that sickness to everyone in the room. It was fortunate that the other candidates did not catch the sickness.

Maybe. But as I’ve said, Trump is attacking the News Media everytime they refuse to lick his boots, and the media being the wimps they are .....are afraid.

Think about this, what is more important to the news media than the power of their polls? If Trump attacks the polls accuracy, that destroys the medias big stick weapon.

Trump seems to be saying...NOTHIN ELSE MATTERS BUT THE FATE OF OUR BELOVED COUNTRY, NOT HURT FEELINGS, NOT DISRESPECT, NOT NOTHING, WE NEED TO SAVE AMERICA NOW OR NEVER.

and well as much as I find his methods ignorant his goal is the bullseye.

Trump wants people to think he’s getting picked on. He’s pulled this same tactic ever since the Iowa polls came out with Walker leading.

Seems to me that Trump is getting picked on. After all, when the word "wherever" equals "menses flow" for Trump, why doesn't Bush's "act of love" mean "Hot, torrid Mexican sex"?

I don't see Trump going after others unless he is provoked. Then they are fair game.

And you are allowed to attack your opponents, provoked or unprovoked. And that is the way it has been on American politics since 1796.

I disagree. The media is different these days. Most people have little memory of what happened yesterday, let alone historical perspective.

Trump remains important and yet the media message is that he is should not be important and will not be important. The media continues to devalue themselves as long as he fights back and gets coverage. He is not going to be humiliated. How far did the classy response get GWB?

I agree with TinMouth. Are all people who agree with him subject to removal as well?

That comment is an attack?

You must have thinner skin than Megyn Kelly.

I had the same question when Trump made that comment.

Like I said in my comment, the point is moot, but people in their 60s learned in different in their schools than it is portrayed now.

And just what have been the attacks on Cruz since that so-called attack? I must have missed them.

Absolutely not! You are capable of expressing yourself without blood coming out of your eyes, blood coming out of your... whatever. :)

Honest disagreement is one thing, but TinMouth came on acting like a classic disruptor.... improved for a while when chided.... and has returned to his old ways.

Give us a break. We know you hate Trump and love the Grand Old Party.

So you say: Trump is “keeping this thing alive”.
This thing that you and every other GOP-e strumpet are on your hands and knees praying will finally, finally be his downfall.

“Trump is keeping this thing alive” is typical of the steaming bovine excrement you and others try to slop every hour of the day, 24/7 on this conservative site.

TO ALL CINO buh-holes: Hold one hand in front of you, palm up, and wish for The Donald to fail. Now, cup one hand behind you—directly under your Great Moderate Toothless One: `Yeb’—OK, now wait ... See which gets filled fastest.

“He was doing fine on his own and Fox/Kelly were losing ground. He should have stopped when he was ahead.”

So now you are concerned that Trump might be harming his campaign?

When did this transformation occur?

OOO! The list :-)

I have heard others have made this list...

Oh well, put on a list of people who support Leftists...I can live with it.

Can I put my name on it too?

Hey, Laz, funny, but when you are at a loss for words or logic, all you can do is have people banned. Man, you would be good with Trump.
