No, he called her a bimbo.

When did he say that? I thought it was someone else’s tweet. Anyway, what do you think of a moderator who has said: " I do need a little attention. I like to be adored."

I don’t know. I don’t have a dog in the race.

I think many of Fox’s commentators are goofy. I don’t even know who this lady is. 🤷

I might even be wrong about the Bimbo name calling- I picked that up second hand.

I find that whole thing rather funny frankly.

Trump says some things that need to be said, but on the whole his presence in the early campaign is just a distraction from the real issues. Instead the issue becomes himself and not national problems. I hope he is on the road to self-destruction with this feud.

I don’t disagree with what you said,however,Fox news instigated this fight.They intentionally asked DT provocative questions,when in fact they could have been more focused on the real issues at hand.They wasted precious time call g him out ,to the extent,they took out of context his comments re an episode from the Apprentice.Re Rosie O’Donnell,Trump’s remarks came only after she made snarky remarks about him on the View. Clearly Mehan Kelly and Fox news as a whole,have an agenda.They blew it.I don’t watch Fox anymore.After the last presidential election,I was burned out.I may watch Lou Dobbs on occasion,however the political hacks on fox for the most part ,I find annoying.

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, .

If being politically correct is defined as not being an obnoxious jerk, then I will take politically correctness as preferable. Since when in America did politeness become a bad thing?

If he’s retweeting that he just as much said it in my opinion or approves of it.
 
I watched onReilly last night but it was hosted by Chris Wallace. He had Brett Baier on as a guest, and they said all of the moderators worked on the questions and according to them they stood by them. Why the question about women to Trump? Seems like there could have been more pointed questions about the economy.

Also he had Huckabee on raking him over the support of his pro life stance on abortion!

I was surprised that Chris Wallace would even host this show let alone attacking candidates because of their view on abortion, a stance that O’Reilly at least is against.

All in all disappointed with Fox. Seems they have an agenda, and sure won’t be watching Megyn again because she was not fair. I expected more of her, but she acted more like a prosecuting attorney which I think she was at one time.

So Kelley should’ve thrown him softball questions so that he couldn’t attack her .?

No. Not at all. Actually I admire the guts!
I’m just saying Kelly shouldn’t be seen as a victim, but is merely experiencing the cost of doing businwss…play with the big dogs or stay on the porch

That’s not what the post was about. 🙂

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

Zero.

Oh, so you are saying you have a right to talk about Trump and the General Election but speaking of an opponent in such a situation is forbidden?? That makes no sense.

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

I don’t know if I’ll actually vote for Trump because I like Dr. Carson, but you could really tell the moderators wanted to dismantle Trump’s campaign.

The so called pledge to not run as an Independent was intentional to make Trump not look like a loyal party member. The very first question asked is the one about women. You could tell it was going to be a rough night for Trump.

The fix is in.The establishment has anointed JB as their nominee.Jeb gave a very low key effort during the debates.He knows he will be the nominee.This is what is to frustrating to me,A lot of this is a dog and pony show for the benefit of the voters.There is no way,the powers that be will allow Ted Cruz,Scott Walker et all get any traction.They don’t fit not their mold.I really don’t want to hold my nose,while voting,yet again.However anybody,even JB is a better alternative to HC!

I went into it not supporting Jeb Bush. But to me he came off sincere, gentlemanly, considerate and didn’t dodge questions asked of him. So far I like what I saw. I don’t think it’s fair to paint him with his father or brothers image.

Cruz on the other came off like he was on a campaign stop and just reading from a script. I wasn’t impressed. I liked Walker and Rubio though and as much as Chris Christie has annoyed me in the past I thought he did a good job in the debate and definitely put Rand Paul in his place.

To me Rubio won the debate, he was level headed, sincere, didn’t appear scripted, got his point across and didn’t dodge questions.

I think it was someone else who tweeted him and he retweeted it. I don’t think he said so. Also, I don;t think he ever said that women were “disgusting animals” as Megyn Kelly said. She is not very professional and she does not appear to be very bright, at least from what I observe. I don’t have too much respect for someone who is supposed to be a journalist but who publicly proclaims: " I do need a little attention. I like to be adored."

Yes. And Kelly misquoted some (not all) of what Trump actually said,

But did he tell the truth about his position on abortion. He says now that he opposes it in case of rape or incest, but that exception was in a bill he sponsored.

And the other networks don’t have an agenda? In what way was Kelly not “fair”? She asked hard-hitting questions nothing more. And I did not think Wallace was “attacking” candidates because of their view on abortion. He asked if that view would hold them back in the general election if they should get the GOP nomination. And as far as the question to Trump about women, I assume those were comments he has made at one time or another and frankly, I think they were crude. Fits right in with the liberal assertion that the GOP has a war against women.

Do you think one can have a view against all abortion but still, sponsor a bill that compromises because it would lower abortions all the same?

It’s back to the “half a loaf is better than nothing” argument.

As a woman, I can say this. She is a Bimbo.

One definition of a bimbo is an attractive woman who is not too bright.
She is attractive, at least with all her painted makeup on.
She is intelligent to some extent, but I am not sure how bright she really is. Is it intelligent for a professional journalist to say: " I do need a little attention. I like to be adored."
