Has Trump never insulted a man before?
The question makes his insults out to be sexist, when in fact they're just insults. |

Did Kelley attack every candidates perceived weakness? Jeb's immigration stance? Rubios Dreamer/ in state tuition for illegals stance? Cruz's inability to work with others? Christi's weight problem/temper? If I recall correctly no other candidate was hit with the same level of hard ball questions that she hit Trump with. So it begs the question: Is she an activist or a reporter? She's a reporter and he's is RINO. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
here's my take on it. Trump got asked Tabloid "gotcha" questions. Complete different tone than all other candidates. Everyone else got policy questions. Kelly to Trump: is it true you called Rosie a fat pig, and you are a misogynist who hates all women? Kelly to Jeb: Tell us how your fantastic tax plan helps the middle class. if she asked bullshit trap questions to everyone, I wouldn't care. But the only two who got bullshit trap or tabloid questions were Trump, and Cruz. She hit cruz with some "why'd you try and take down the entire government by yourself for no reason?" question. Fox likes GOPe. Fox is trying to torpedo the two GOPOP GOP OG's) candidates every time she could. See the difference? it was a fair question, if EVERYONE got asked the same type of tabloid reporting question. Every one of them could have been asked something like that, Krispy Kreme shutting down highways, Rubio advocating illegals for free etc. but nobody else got one like that. Do you think maybe no one else got asked that question because they did call Rosie a fat pig? Let's face it, you or I can call Rosie a fat pig but a politician should be a little more professional. |

It's an unfair question because in Megyn Kelly's mind, when he refers to a particular person in those terms, she sees it as disparaging against women in general. She's playing the gender card and it comes off as more of a personal vendetta against Trump rather than a question a respectable journalist would ask.
She's no better than a black person losing their shit because someone called another unrelated black person "black." Her nose flares because he called someone who happens to have a vagina "disgusting." There's no other way I can explain it to make it make more sense. |

The funny thing is that a day before that debate, if you'd asked GD what they thought of Megan Kelly you would've had nothing but adoring fanboys ready to crawl through broken glass to sniff her ass. Suddenly she's a bitch because she asked The Trump a question that they don't like. And whether certain other questions were asked of other candidates or not, the fact remains that it's fucking ridiculous to suggest that someone running for President shouldn't be asked about public comments he's made demeaning women. Putting your heads further up Trump's ass doesn't make the issue irrelevant. You speak of ARFCOM as if everybody agrees on the same thing. And, for the record, I've lost my taste for Megyn Kelly LONG ago. She's hot in that one photoshoot she did, but she's been grating on nerves for at least a few years now. |

Every candidate in this election cycle has been asked questions about personal comments and past beliefs. Trump isn't a special snowflake that gets a pass on his past comments. He put those comments out there in the public and he should be expected to explain them. But did Megan Kelly ask those questions at the same time she posed her questions to the Don? Or did she or her managers decide they don't like trump and they want to make him look bad. If it's the latter she was way out of line, that's not the job of a debate moderator. Asking as a serious question because I only saw the highlights. |

Quoted: I've asked this question in several other post, but no Trump supporters have bother to post a response...so I'll start a thread. This is the question from the FoxNews debate that started the bad blood and has led to this whole issue. I've posted the text of the question and as Trump supporters and others bashing FoxNews to tell me why this question was unfair to Trump. The line of questioning assumes that it is inappropriate to be disrespectful to any woman, no matter how she behaves. It is to say that women are above criticism, shaming, and mocking due solely to being women, and no matter how they behave. It was not a question, it was a call to lynch him for heresy. |

Yup, Hillary is vulnerable to being subjected to open ridicule in many ways that other candidates may not be. I believe that the attack of diarrhea and the uncontrollable coughing fit Hillary suffered during her recent appearances are symptoms of the strain she's under knowing how weak a candidate she actually is. Especially against Trump who will attack her "no holds barred." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The problem is that all the questions were like that. It isn't the fucking Megyn Kelly show, it is a debate. You're supposed to get the candidates talking about the issues and differences between them. One or two questions about an embarrassing point is fine, but Megyn's conduct was demeaning and insulting not just to Trump, but to the American voter. This is perhaps the most important election in recent memory and all that ditz wants to talk about his herself. Let me help Megyn out with some questions. "Mr. Bush, Donald Trump has said that he wants to ban Muslim immigration in light of the San Bernadino and Paris attacks. Do you agree with this, and if not, how would you address the issue of terrorists coming in through normal immigration or asylum channels." "Mr. Christie, you have consistently pointed to your experience in government as making you better qualified than candidates like Donald Trump, Ben Carson, or Carly Fiorina. What specifically is it about your experience that would make you a better President then someone with private sector business experience?" Questions should be like that, so the candidates can talk about each other, not debate Megyn Kelly for 3 hours. |

When you think about the tantrum Trump has thrown over his own comments how is he expected to govern? Will he boycott the state of the Union? I thought it was a temper tantrum at first. Now I think he's just changing the rules. I can see why he wouldn't want to go back. If he can setup an event at the same time and get more publicity and attention while overshadowing his opponents it's a stroke of genius. We'll know soon if it workes. |

It was a hit piece, but not a horrible one and nothing that wouldn't come out 10 minutes later.

Quote HistoryQuoted: That silly woman should go back to her kitchen. !OP, I didn't take it as disrespectful, it was a fair question. Trump has been a lot worse to a lot of people. I want a president that can handle it when people (or nations) are gunning for them. Not one that runs and hides from a little libtarded woman! |

Regardless of whether the question was appropriate, I'm not sure how you can possibly characterize Trump's reaction as "handling it well". Which part was well handled, the "bleeding from her wherever" comment or the juvenile Twitter war? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Going in to that debate, it was wildly circulated that she was gunning for him. All of the talk shows were discussing how she had made backroom comments about how she was "going to get him." It's not like she showed up and it just happened. If you will recall, everyone already knew it was going to happen, and everyone was waiting for it. I wouldn't say that's going in to an exactly "fair" debate. Very true. Kelly was a moderator and should have done her job. But she just couldn't resist inserting herself into the debate.
Trump came down on her pretty hard and handled it well IMO. Regardless of whether the question was appropriate, I'm not sure how you can possibly characterize Trump's reaction as "handling it well". Which part was well handled, the "bleeding from her wherever" comment or the juvenile Twitter war? His answer at the debate. Watch for yourself Eric.

When you think about the tantrum Trump has thrown over his own comments how is he expected to govern? Will he boycott the state of the Union? I thought it was a temper tantrum at first. Now I think he's just changing the rules. I can see why he wouldn't want to go back. If he can setup an event at the same time and get more publicity and attention while overshadowing his opponents it's a stroke of genius. We'll know soon if it workes. It's still a temper tantrum. Watch how he bashes everyone who is critical of him. He doesn't offer a rebuttal, just calls them nobodies lets some insults fly and that's that. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Whether or not it was appropriate or not is a moot point. The way he handled it is very telling. If he were to become president he's going to be asked much worse questions. He's not going to be able to act like a petulant child like he is now. Oh so Megyn Kelly is going to be there? Well I'm not going then is not going to be an option. why not? who's going to stop him? Because that's not how the leader of the supposed greatest country on this planet is supposed to act. I was actually impressed with his response to fox. Instaed of knowingly walking into an ambush, trump changed the battlefield. It was a savy move, and I think it actually took more guys to stand up to fox news. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The problem is that all the questions were like that. It isn't the fucking Megyn Kelly show, it is a debate. You're supposed to get the candidates talking about the issues and differences between them. One or two questions about an embarrassing point is fine, but Megyn's conduct was demeaning and insulting not just to Trump, but to the American voter. This is perhaps the most important election in recent memory and all that ditz wants to talk about his herself. Let me help Megyn out with some questions. "Mr. Bush, Donald Trump has said that he wants to ban Muslim immigration in light of the San Bernadino and Paris attacks. Do you agree with this, and if not, how would you address the issue of terrorists coming in through normal immigration or asylum channels." "Mr. Christie, you have consistently pointed to your experience in government as making you better qualified than candidates like Donald Trump, Ben Carson, or Carly Fiorina. What specifically is it about your experience that would make you a better President then someone with private sector business experience?" Questions should be like that, so the candidates can talk about each other, not debate Megyn Kelly for 3 hours. These are actually good question. You missed your calling. |

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. My view is, let the left lead the attacks. We don't need to be sabotaging our own. Don't agree with those questions to any candidate and the Trump is free to respond how he feels is right.
Bottom line, there will be no Trump at the debate, the debate ratings will drop, Trump will do something else to put the spotlight on him, and it will end well for him. In my eyes, this only hurts Fox and the advertisers. Sooner or later you have to pick sides. Dems or Reps? If I was Fox, I'd yank her and replace her. Don't bite the hand that may soon be feeding you. |

It was designed to make her look good and tough and to have a secondary effect of hurting her enemy Trump.
