Trump Dumped from Red State Event

Organizers of the Red State Gathering of conservative activists have “dis-invited” Donald Trump after the presidential candidate reduced Megyn Kelly's performance as moderator during the GOP debate to a byproduct of her menstruation. Trump told CNN that when Kelly asked about his past insults to women, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.” “There are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross,” Red State Gathering organizer Erick Erickson said. “Decency is one of those lines.” He added, “I just don’t want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal. It was just wrong.” Trump’s campaign responded by calling Erickson “weak and pathetic.”

Rump and his campaign staph are going to have to break out a thesaurus pretty soon. They're running out of original insults.

honestly I think 10-20% of their voters are going where Trump goes. They hate FOX and those Mitt Romney Republicans. Trump is the women hating, Mexican hating mean spirited asshole they've been longing for since Dick Cheney.
