Donald Trumps campaign released a statement in response to being disinvited from Erick Ericksons 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 emailingthey 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.

(24,475 posts)I just wasted half an hour reading insane posts from Trump's defenders in Facebook.
Are people really this stupid? It's just so sad.

(53,127 posts)This is reality TV and internet trolling as national politics. It says truly disturbing things about our society.

(14,449 posts)The number of times he has called people losers is extraordinary. Perhaps in his mind the only ones not losers are his children.....maybe.
AndreaCG
(2,331 posts)Trump has said he would date her if she wasn't his daughter.
yeoman6987
(14,449 posts)You just made it happen with his repulsive words.
SwissTony
(2,560 posts)If he'd said "My daughter is intelligent, beautiful, a great businesswoman", that would be fine.But talking about dating your daughter.
I've got three of them and that concept has never even come close to entering my mind.
ToxMarz
(2,169 posts)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.

(1,802 posts)He's said plenty of misogynistic things himself. I guess the RNC is desperate to stop Trumpenstein and made him withdraw the invite.
Rex
(65,616 posts)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.
yeoman6987
(14,449 posts)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.

(21,990 posts)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.
Nevernose
(13,081 posts)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.
emulatorloo
(44,268 posts)He's the poster boy for crazy misogyny. Makes Trump look like a choirboy in comparison.
I'm ass-uming Fox is working w Karl Rove on Operation Stop Trump. Seems like they've underestimated Trump's ability to fight fire w fire.

(84,711 posts)It's hard to know whether Trump has lost his mind or seriously thinks this is just more fun to stroke his already inflated ego.
In a way he is doing us Democrats a Civic Service! Who better could have served us exposing the Clown Car and RW Fanatics.
Amazing...

(13,942 posts)A phone call from Clinton??? Saying outrageous things that get the far right foaming at the mouth? If he busts up the republican party the dem's might have it easy even if all the repukes are playing with the voting machines and voter rights. 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
Ok conspiracy mode is off now
Hell it might make a good movie
.. Tom Cruise as the Donald???
Mr Spielburg?? I have an idea for a movie
.. Like "wag the dog" but a little different.

(652 posts)Then he is truly one of the most brilliant political minds of all time. Absolute genius.
This is just so hilarious to watch. Every time you think Trump has hit maximum crazy, he ups the ante. I'm stating to think we haven't seen anything yet. He's going to rip the GOP to shreds. Oh will the knives be out now.
herding cats
(19,569 posts)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.
workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)Keep being Trump, chump!
Things will really get hoppin when Trump tells main street/wall street rethugs to go to hell and runs a teabag batshit insane third party bid.
It will be the end of the hateful republican party and the greatest political event in my lifetime!
The death of the republican party is in sight my friends!
DO IT TRUMP!

(23,946 posts)Shrike47
(6,913 posts)Trump just keeps doubling down and using the same insults against each new person who doesn't lick his boots.
By now I hope even Republican women can see he values women only for their looks and compliance with his demands.
sub.theory
(652 posts)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.

LittleBlue
(10,362 posts)With abysmal approval of just about everything establishment, from Congress to the media, it looks good to be anti-establishment. Even if he has no platform whatsoever.
These are all the names people call politicians routinely.

(273 posts)The party of hate, misogyny, classism, and racism is all freaked out that their top candidate is selling hate, misogyny, classism, and racism. To paraphrase the Frankenstein they created, "make up your minds losers!"

Listen people ,everybody knows bush's are for planting, what I offer is a very different kind of landscape architecture leaving no space for overgrowth. If those bush's aren't there ,there can be no maintenance fees ! I am not a financial annalist but I can tell you there is considerable savings to be had.
Can there be trickle down you ask ? I am always open to negotiation !
Does this make sense you ask ? Let me ask you back- does the GOP make any sense .

(3,373 posts)The RNC and the party satellite apparatus (RedState, FoxNews, etc.) are clearly working to undermine the Trump campaign and to exclude him from events.
Can you imagine how that anti-democracy would be met in the Democratic Party?
