‘The bimbo is back is town’: Donald Trump renews conflict with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Twitter

A war begun at the first Republican presidential debate earlier this month may have seen a cease-fire when one of the combatants left the field. But now that Megyn Kelly of Fox News is back from vacation, Republican front-runner Donald Trump has wasted no time taking aim and firing.

“I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly,” Trump tweeted Monday evening. “Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!”

.@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!

"@mstanish53: @realDonaldTrump @megynkelly The bimbo back in town . I hope not for long ."

Female Trump Supporters Just Feel More Comfortable With GOP Candidate Who’s Openly Horrible To Them



MANCHESTER, NH—Describing the current Republican frontrunner’s frankness on the topic as a welcome change of pace in the crowded race, female supporters of Donald Trump told reporters Monday they simply felt more comfortable backing a candidate who is openly hostile and belittling toward them.

“It’s actually pretty refreshing to have a candidate who’s willing to come right out and disrespect women to our faces, rather than trying to conceal their actual views or spin their policy stances as if they’re beneficial to women,” said Trump supporter Laura Coyle, adding that she likes how she knows exactly where she stands with the billionaire due to his straightforward style of calling her gender worthless and disgusting up front.


“Sure, I gave Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee a chance. But they just talked in circles like Washington politicians, never offering any straight talk about how they view us as inferior and undeserving of equal treatment or rights. Trump’s a straight shooter, though. What he says is what he believes, which in this case is that most women are either calculating manipulators or repulsive animals.” When polled, Trump’s male supporters indicated their approval for the candidate’s willingness to express his open disdain toward women as well.

I wonder if he is just trying to get men (who often say this kind of crap in private) to cheer him on.

Believe me, men say these things. I've heard them. Usually to goad me, and I ignore it for what it is, but a lot of men like to hear this crap - even if they have daughters, wives, sisters, etc.

Sad, but true.

Successful and admired. They probably feel like losers and need to feel like it's not their own damned fault, that assholes like them are to be admired.

The men think this is how women should be treated if they"get out of line".

And the women agree and accept being a lower class and if they are attacked they brought it on themselves.
