Donald Trump's war on Megyn Kelly

[Path_Finder]

Did she say them to Trump at the debate?

I am sure there is a transcript of the debate on the internet if you want to see for yourself.

I saw the debate. She didn’t. I have yet to have anyone tell me just what inappropriate questions it is that she asked.

I think her question was fine and Trump should answer better.

On the other hand, I doubt if we will see Candidate Hillary Clinton asked in a debate how she felt about her Presidential husband having sex with an intern in the White House.

I doubt if we will see Candidate Bernie Sanders asked about his 1972 “Rape Fantasy” essay.

Trump shouldn’t have said those things but let’s not forget some things MK has as well, over at the gateway pundit, I won’t link to it, it is indeed explicit as when she was on the Howard Stern show.

Is she running for POTUS? Did she say them at the debate? If not, it doesn’t matter. He said what he said, trying to make it about her doesn’t change that.

Are they going to ask Candidate Clinton what she thought of her husband having sex with an intern in the oval office? Seems like it is an appropriate question if she wants to be President.

It’s simple, Trump isn’t an establishment candidate, he therefore must go down. Reminds me of how they treated Ron Paul, who clearly didn’t go along with everything promulgated by the GOP.

Trump is a jerk, but at least he’s smart and entertaining and is calling the establishment out on some of thier foolishness.

seriously, who can get excited about another Bush who appear to excessively idolize their father. even if Jeb is the smart one, he’ll likely surround himself with the same people W did.

I’m not a Clinton supporter or a Democrat but I don’t see how it’s equivalent to Trump being asked to clarify his own previous statements regarding women. What does Hilary’s husbands infidelity have to do with her qualifications to be POTUS? I’d rather have them call her out on Benghazi and her home email server and her stance on selling fetal body parts by Planned Parenthood.

It looked like Fox was trying to make Jeb Bush look like the nominee.

Notice: the Fox Debate Moderators only asked or directed the most embarrassing questions to Mr. Trump.
Fox Network doesn’t want Trump for President.

I think the moderators, especially the female one, had it out for Trump. …
The after debate show was just the commentators sympathizing with each other about how Trump was mean to them and how hard they worked on these questions. Totally uninteresting, and I thought another method to sway the voters. I don’t know why they don’t think that their hidden agendas shouldn’t be questioned. Like the press are above everyone? They’re the greatest reason this country is so messed up, because they sway the message so much and no one challenges them.

It looked to me the same. Megyn Kelly, or her bosses at Fox, don’t want Trump for President. She was reading from a script with questions they told her to ask to make Trump look bad. I don’t think that Trump ever said women were “disgusting animals” as she alleged. Also, the quote about women on their knees was from someone else on his TV show, although he commented on it jokingly. The debate was supposed to be between the candidates running for office and not between Trump and the moderators. There are intelligent journalists, but I never thought that Megyn Kelly was one of those.

From Denninger:

Megyn Kelly asked her “question” in a leading, provocative and indecent manner. She did it because she was playing the “girl card”, which is often played when you want to do something that is over the line.

It is an attempt to claim special privilege by virtue of your gender (and is also done by persons trying to do so by virtue of their race, religion, sexual preference or whatever else.) It is improper in all cases, and in the case of a Presidential Debate it is even more-so, because the person in question who we are all attempting to qualify for the job should be chosen purely on their merits.

Trump called Megyn on what she tried to do. He was both direct and, you can argue, quite crass about it, but that’s what you deserve when you try to playing the girl card in such a situation.

Sorry, but no. That is exactly what has been wrong with American Politics for a long time; it is arguably why nobody “dares” criticize President Obama without being risking named as a racist, it is why you can’t criticize Hillary without being called a gender bigot and other similar slams and slurs.

It’s time this horsecrap have the curtain called down on it and then burned with the protagonists of this tactic inside, and you get to go first because you wrapped yourself in it.

My take also.

Further, it’s not hard to tell the Republican establishment (which includes Fox News) is very scared to death of Trump and will do whatever they have to do to take him down. Kelly was definitely part of that effort at the debate and that reflects itself in the kind of questions put to Trump.

About Trump, whether people love him or hate him, one has to admit he has tapped into the conservative psyche by refusing to play the politically correct line. Could he win? No way he will be permitted to get that far, the knives are already out for him. Establishment candidate over everyone else no matter how viable.

There are a few other nasty questions they could ask Hillary, but they won’t.

I’m thinking it’s something else. Seriously, Trump won’t win the Presidency. Fox and the rest of the GOP want him out of the nomination not because they’re afraid that he’ll win the Presidency (they’re not), but because they’re worried that the longer he runs, the more likely he will bring down the rest of the GOP with him and give the Presidency to Hillary. They probably see Trump as a plant by the Hillary campaign to get her elected.

On the show, Megyn Kelly said: " I do need a little attention. I like to be adored."

 

[KevinAK]

Disgusting that they did that. As voter, it makes me wonder that they’re so worried about being politically correct that they can’t tie their shoes without checking the offense meter, or if they’re under Republican orders to undermine Trump.

IF he does run independently, it’s groups like this who are to blame.

IF he does run independently, I won’t vote for him.

It won’t come to that though. Trump is not a serious candidate. His campaign is nothing but an attempt to get attention from an immature narcissist. We have one of those in the White House already.

As Path_Finder said, we have many months to go. Either Trump is going to pull a major Humpty-Dumpty, or he’s going to be a shoo-in for the nomination, and perhaps the White House.

Can you seriously say that in this universe Trump would have ANY chance at all of actually becoming President.

No way- no how- not in a million years.

What on Earth does that have to do with being President?

I guess she could say. . . . “I was very mad”. I mean what would you expect her to say?

He’s way ahead of every other Republican candidate in the polls.

Oh, I guess there is a %1 chance of him getting the GOP nomination but there is a 0% chance of him winning the general election.

Zero absolutely zero.

He’d lose worse than Dukakis!

You guys know it’s true.

He’d be a million times better than Sanger award winner and candidate under an FBI criminal probe Hillary Clinton.

That’s not what the post was about.

It concerns Trumps chances of actually winning the general election and those are. . . .

Zero.

 

[sallybutler]

As a democrat, I’d vote Trump.

Me. Kelley was doing the bidding of Mr.Ailes. The only problem I have with Mr. Trump is that he didn’t call her a tool.
