Trump Responds to Being Disinvited from Event

Donald Trump’s campaign released a statement in response to being disinvited from Erick Erickson’s RedState event over comments made by Trump about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly:

Mr. Trump made Megyn Kelly look really bad — she was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard. Mr. Trump said “blood was coming out of her eyes and whatever” meaning nose, but wanted to move on to more important topics. Only a deviant would think anything else. This related to the debate, which because of Mr. Trump had 24 million viewers — the biggest in cable news history. According to TIME, Newsmax, Drudge Report, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Hill and many others, Mr. Trump won the debate.

By the way, the guy (Erick Erickson) who made the decision about RedState called Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “goat [expletive] child molester” and First Lady Michelle Obama a “Marxist Harpy.” He was forced to make a humbling apology.

Also, not only is Erick a total loser, he has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event. Mr. Trump is an outsider and does not fit his agenda.

Many of the 900 people that wanted to hear Mr. Trump speak tonight have been calling and emailing—they are very angry at Erickson and the others that are trying to be so politically correct. To them Mr. Trump says, “We will catch you at another time soon.”


That has to be one of the most remarkable statements ever issued by a presidential campaign.

And I don't think this was a statement by someone about Trump, it was a statement by Trump through an intermediary.

This is why he sounds so stupid to me, as often as he calls people losers, you would think over the years he would come up with a few synonymous to freshen it up a bit. He insults people in a very elementary school manner.

He treats this all like it is his stupid reality TV show...yet GOP morans out there WILL vote for him, they are that delusional. He makes his rivals looks pathetic, because he will say and do anything and in the Reality TV world that is solid gold.

People will vote for him, because he is that crude and rude and crass and without any class. Just like themselves. They identify with this asshole and love him for being one.

Can he win? I am seriously asking because the thought makes me go cold inside. Trump would make George w look like Roosevelt in comparison. We truly would not have a country left. I always worry about those independents who go back and forth every election. I wish they would pick a side and stay there so we don't have this bank of mystery voters. I know some on here are independents and I know why you are but you are not wishy washy like a lot of independents.

Just when I think Trump can't troll them any harder he ups the ante. Erick "harpies and feminazis" Erickson walked right into this one. ROFLMAO.

Trump is forcing the GOP to look at itself naked in a mirror in front of the entire world, and they are suddenly realizing that it is NOT a pretty sight.

Is that one of the beltway insider candidates might not get the nomination. Those asshats lack the capacity for self-reflection. They love themselves, but Trunp isn't "one of them." If anything, it's an example of their extreme xenophobia: here comes a straight white Christian make who believes 99% of the same bullshit, but he's never played their bullshit political game before and it turns out he's good at it.

Hell even Joe Kennedy got a shill to run and bust up his son, John's opponents during his Mass senate race… Is Soros in this some how??
Some kind of business promise when the Dems win… Hummmmm

The way Trump is personifying, and thus exposing all the faults of the GOP, laying them out there for everyone to gawk at, it's disturbing and mesmerizing at the same time.

The power players in the GOP are being called out by someone ideologically their twin. They basically have no defense because they're just as bad as Trump. Their tired and true political weapons in their arsenal are being turned against them by a monster they basically created.

They seriously miscalculated that they could destroy him in the debate. I think they only made him stronger and now he looks like the establishment are out to get him (they are).

They should have tossed him some softballs and let him hang himself. Man, I think they really, really screwed up. I've never seen this sort of blowback against Fox News from the right. Something has definitely happened.

The RNC and the party satellite apparatus (RedState, FoxNews, etc.) are clearly working to undermine the Trump campaign and to exclude him from events.
