Trump Implies Megyn Kelly Was On Her Period

Trump on Megyn Kelly: ‘Blood Coming Out of Her Eyes, Blood Coming Out of Her… Wherever’

Donald Trump called into CNN tonight to continue complaining to Don Lemon about how mean Megyn Kelly was to him. He actually said, “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her… wherever.”

He repeatedly said he has no respect for her, called her vastly overrated, dismissed her “ridiculous questions,” and basically crowed about how well he did while all his followers trashed her on Twitter.

As for that whole retweeting someone who called her a bimbo thing, Trump brushed it aside and said, “She’s able to take care of herself.” He bragged that he did Fox News a favor by doing the debate, and listed his grievances about other Fox Newsers.

He's perfectly charming. As long as you are 'nice' to him. He's very clear about that.

If you criticize him in any way, then you are not being nice.

The best moment of the debate for me was watching Trump's face while Kasich gave his 'we agree on the problems, we just have different solutions' homily. You could see the wheels turning in Trump's head to strain to understand a rational person speaking, while thinking "Is he making fun of me in some smarty-pants way?" And eventually nodding "Okay, that's fair."

Such pedantry aside, we can also quibble over what constitutes an 'exceptional level of depravity.'

I found the numbers alarming enough to justify an apology to my students.

The grosser he got, the more they cheered. Then he tried to tie it in with his opposition to political correctness, at which point I realized that quite a few Republican men are stuck in adolescence. Which actually explains a lot. Herman Cain had the same attitude, like in his ad where he was smoking a cigarette with a defiant little grin.

They see Democrats, with our regulations and such, as "nanny state" and themselves as defiant little boys.

This might explain the guns, Tea Party outfits, and confederate flags, too.

Sometimes I wonder what we look like to other countries.

Someone I respect said that if you study the debate, you could make a case that Fox would prefer a Democratic win because their network gets many more viewers and thus rakes in more money under a Democratic presidency (b/c their viewers are in a constant state of fear and anger.)

Like I said, I really hate the way they are playing with us.

show how out of touch the GOP is with the citizens of our country.

Not to worry - the big money will go after him with both guns. They view him as a big threat to the establishment right-wing. The GOP knows that they could not win election as dog catcher without using the same old tired social and religious issues to get elected. Sadly for a majority of white people that is the case. We have it so much better than minorities and view our privileged lives as the status quo!

I have also seen the Democrats being moved further and further to the right in the last 35 years as the party has become more and more dependent on the $$$$ to get elected. Our country is almost unrecognizable from 1970's.
