The media world was waiting for it and Donald Trump delivered Wednesday night, performing his now nightly Twitter assault on Fox News after announcing his boycott of the network earlier in the day.
This time, the GOP frontrunner’s outrage came after the National Review’s Rich Lowry suggested that Carly Fiorina “cut [Trump’s] balls off with the precision of a surgeon” at the CNN Republican debate, much to host Megyn Kelly’s shock. “You can’t say that,” Kelly said. For once, she and Trump agreed.

Trump not getting what he wants and then going 3 rd party is where I fear he will end up.
I will vote for him if he is the republican nominee but I will not support a 3 rd party candidate..................like Perot!
Interesting video :)
But my comment wasn’t worth the onslaught of attacks I got. I’ll keep my mouth shut from now on :)
Never said I didn’t like him. Just not that style so much.
Fox doesn’t owe Trump anything. The other thing, which neither he nor his supporters will admit, is that it is Trump himself who is responsible for dragging campaign speech down to this level. He has given us nothing but over the top insults, all of them personal and having nothing to do with political positions, and crude innuendo or even outright undisguised slurs from the very beginning of his “campaign.”
Why not ask DT. Apparently he's significant in "his line of work" to evoke a reaction from DT. If he's a nobody and in the wrong line of work, I would assume a man great enough to be our next President savior wouldn't waste his time. And yet, he did. Hmmmm....
BTW, I'm no fan of Lowry - he's way too establishment for me - but he was hired by William F. Buckley, who has stronger conservative credentials than almost anyone running this time. Yeah, including him.....
As of this minute, there are 7X as many comments on the “cut your balls off” Trump/Lowry issue as there are on the substantive issue post of Boeing and China and the 300 planes to be mostly built in America and finished in China.
Read into that what you will.....I think the implication is pretty clear.
“Anyone else discussing a candidates castration or balls would have been called sexist but if it is against Trump it passes?”
No.
But the cheap dumb castration comment speaks for itself.He doesn’t have to respond. But like an amateur he responds like a child to childish comment.
Trump shouldn’t act like a tough guy referring to woman periods and calling them ugly then whines like school girl, somebody goes classless on him.
He wants it that way he gets it.
Now do you think these petty junior high attacks will continue or discontinue?
He should respond to stuff that actually means something.
Agreed.
Same thing with Romney. We criticized the crap out of him for not swinging back.
Hey, hey...it was just a tweet. You’re giving a “tweet” far too much credit by suggesting that Trump could never live it down. Twitter doesn’t have that kind of power on its own but the Tweet-minded people are running around all a-twitter (nervously concerned) over next-to-nothing. Talk is cheap and Twitter is even cheaper.
You're underestimating him. He's not thin skinne...he's probably laughing about the whole thing at home. But Lowry attacked him and Fox let it happen and Trump's philosophy is to hit back 1000 times harder every time you get hit. Plus, if he hadn't started complaining about it nobody would be paying attention. This gets the story out...makes it a story and keeps Donald front and center for the next two or three days. All without spending a dime.
GO TRUMP GO!
The guy is using the media against itself and there is NOTHING they can do about it. He’s brilliant.
Exactly. As long as Fox News has an endless stream of Trump bashing guests he is free to respond on Social Media. Mass Communication is changing and this is how it’s done now.
If Trump is complaining because he wants to show the hypocrisy then I'm on his side.
If not, then yes he would be thin-skinned.
Yep, like Reagan went around the media filter.
“Trumps outlandish behavior is what attracts some people but it puts me off.
Trump not getting what he wants and then going 3 rd party is where I fear he will end up.
I will vote for him if he is the republican nominee but I will not support a 3 rd party candidate..................like Perot!”
Couldn’t agree with you more, ditter.
Like you I will certainly vote for him if he is the republican nominee. WILL NOT VOTE FOR HIM if he goes third party.
If he keeps responding to playground comments he is going to get nothing but playground attacks.
If he doesn’t understand this or the difference now he should not be the nominee.
LOL!!! Well played!
I think it was ‘preplanned’ before kelly and lowry ever went on the show...to smooth...
But that’s ok, because faux’s rating are going down and will be in the toilet soon....
“Lowry should apologize to Trump & the audience - it was vulgar.”
Hello nuconvert,
Your post is perfect, thank you.
Absolutely! I just made the same point in another post. He's absolutely dominating political coverage in the country...all for free. At the rate he's going he'll win the nomination without ever having to pay for a commercial.
Hear that sound? It's the culture screaming past your ears. I come from the Empire culture also. Unfortunately it's over and not returning. Trump knows he has to engage with the mutants produced by the new culture or be drowned out by their mewling.
Fox doesn’t owe Trump anything. The other thing, which neither he nor his supporters will admit, is that it is Trump himself who is responsible for dragging campaign speech down to this level.

Nope. Kelly started the Trump-Fox stuff with her demeaning and out of context debate questions. She’s never apologized for that, BTW.
You seem to be forgetting how the kenyan and GOPe treat us. Politics is a blood sport now like it or not.
