Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly said Tuesday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump could still pick up female votes this fall, despite language that she called “diminishing of womankind.”
“The comments about women, I don’t think women love that. But I don’t know that it’s going to drive their vote,” Kelly said before a crowd at the American Hospital Association meeting.
“I think if Trump behaves himself and acts presidentially, and isn’t so much of a bully — which women tend to not appreciate, either — he can move those numbers a bit,” Kelly said.
Kelly and Trump feuded for months following her questioning of him at the first GOP presidential debate in August. He then skipped a Fox debate she co-hosted in late January before being cordial in March.
Throughout the campaign, Trump's comments about women, including the wife of presidential rival Ted Cruz, have been called one of his biggest vulnerabilities. One poll in March found 73 percent of registered female voters in the U.S. had an unfavorable view of Trump.
Kelly and Trump met recently at Trump Tower to help settle the dispute, and Kelly said Tuesday that she and the GOP front-runner are on “much better ground.”
“I look forward to covering the general election from the sidelines, where I ought to be,” she said.
The "Kelly File" anchor also took a swipe at American parenting, which she said is creating a “me generation” of kids who aren’t tough enough to handle Trump.
“I think we're becoming what I call a cupcake nation. We’ve gone soft,” Kelly said.
“Just wait til you get slammed by a professor, by a boss, by a billionaire presidential front-runner ... and you have to get up the next morning and smile and do your job," Kelly said.

You’re on a roll today bobalu!
Great stuff!
I doubt he can.
Really!
Great news.
Don’t care what you think, megan.
” If he can do the Presidential thing, he can win 60% of the vote, and have a Reaganesque landslide.”
I don’t he can do it for that long. Trump speaks off the cuff too much and just says too many things he has to walk back or clarify. Makes him look like a flip flooper or loose cannon.
The best way Trump’s image is improved with women, is if women stop listening to main stream media.
She does not know what she’s talking about. She a rich liberal.
So is Meg saying she may vote Repub for the first time in her life?
Pray America wakes
ROFL
True also!
MK is so yesterday. Yawn.
The "Kelly File" anchor also took a swipe at American parenting, which she said is creating a “me generation” of kids who aren’t tough enough to handle Trump.More meme-building by just another overpaid Partisan Media Shill.
Single\Divorced Moms have through years of government schools and being glommed onto overgrown adolescent men learned like minorities, that gubmint is the Daddy and Parent of their kid(s). White middle class single\divorced Moms are now overwhelmingingly softheaded when it comes to politics and the role of government. I say let the brainless ones go, they will vote for another b*tch like Hillary, someone they can relate to. Lost cause convincing them. The demo trump should go after is lower middle class whites in places like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pa and Ohio. millions of Reagan Democrats to mine there. The married and single women with a brain in their head will not vote for Hillary. Fools errand to chase after the abortion happy, Trader Joes shopping, environmental wacko, single Mommies.
There’s “funny” and there’s “damn funny”. Guess which one this is.
Honestly, I doubt he can as well, which is why the election will be closer than it needs to be.
I agree Megyn is a great attack dog and your suggestion is interesting.
However, I wonder how she would be as President if something happens to Trump in the future?
She has no executive experience. Nor much foreign policy experience, other than via journalism.
Unfortunately, I think Trump and Megyn would look “too white” to the racist anti-racists in our country. So Trump probably has to have someone who has tanner skin than him as a VP candidate.
It’s sad that it comes to this, but we have a lot of people in our country who are no longer color blind.
You obviously haven’t watched Megyn on Fox enough to know her values. She’s not a liberal.
She may not be an ideal conservative, but she’s a brilliant attack dog against many left wingers on her show. Where have you been?
Where federal elections are concerned, Megyn Kelly wrongly ignores that that one of the very few powers that the states have actually delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, to regulate an aspect of domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7).
Essentally everything else that the feds do in the name of domestic policy is based on 10th Amendment-protected state powers, and state revenues, which the corrupt feds have stolen from the states.
She started it and then blamed it all on him, but was exposed as the vicious Trump hater she is.
Not to mentioned exposed parts of her body that only her husband should see. Enticing people with sexual sensuality.
Pretty sick for a married woman.
Now, for some relevant comments lol
Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly said Tuesday that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump could still pick up female votes this fall, despite language that she called “diminishing of womankind.”There she goes again, stating something false (last little phrase) and the first part, we all already know that so stifle, Edith.
“I look forward to covering the general election from the sidelines, where I ought to be,” she said.
She left out a major part. She should be on the sidelines during the whole campaign season when it comes to Anything Trump.
Otherwize she will surely let her vicious mean streak come out and further damage herself and her "likeability."
“Just wait til you get slammed by a professor, by a boss, by a billionaire presidential front-runner ... and you have to get up the next morning and smile and do your job," Kelly said.Oh boo hoo MegYn, Megan with a "y"
He didn't slam you, good job playing the woman card, like Hillary and Cruz (picking a woman for VP) and she certainly didn't get up the next morning with a smile after she was *ahem* "slammed" by Trump. Deserves another boo hoo...
A bit of an exaggeration Ms Kelly, on the level of the woman that accused Trumps employee of trying to "throw her to the ground."
Good job Kelly getting a lot more viewers for CNN and other left leaning news sites--less "leftist" than Fox now.
Well, less than an hour until the polls close, will Megyn be all over Fox again or will she help them redeem themselves a bit by not using her in a position for which she is not qualified.
We will see...
Oh I am watching the 5, shut up Juan.
Hmmm, KK-Campaign Carl--is up next maybe I'll leave it on for a few minutes.
