Fiorina wasted no time on Friday condemning Trump’s remarks.

Let’s be clear: Erickson is an bad human being with his own extensive history of sexism.
“But when I came out there, what am I doing?”
Is Fox News chairman Roger Ailes strategically positioning his network against the candidate, either to influence the Republican party or simply spark his ratings? “She didn’t have a choice because I gave”, Trump said, Godfather-like.
In a statement, Trump maintained that “only a deviant” would interpret his comments that way.
Through all of Trump’s controversial life, I see plenty of reasons why reasonable people would balk at his run.
During the debate, Kelly had asked Trump about comments referring to women as “fat pigs” and slobs.
“Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks”.
Translation: With capitalist Trump now the political version of Marvel Comics’ Incredible Hulk – a puny human who transforms into a green, musclebound behemoth when angered – Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders’ campaigns to sell Hugo Chavez-type socialist snake-oil aren’t getting any buyers.
In an interview with Don Lemon on “CNN Tonight”, Trump on Friday accused Fox of asking “vicious”, unfair questions at the debate and called Kelly “overrated”.
“I’m hoping that Mr. Trump, because he does speak off the cuff, because he doesn’t ascribe to political correctness, was speaking in a way that wasn’t fully thought out”, Spicer said. “And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either”. This country is in big trouble. “Do we want to win?” We lose to everybody.
“Only Rosie O’Donnell”, the real estate giant interjected with a smirk, unleashing a burst of raucous laughter.
He said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe“, “Not that I’m an angel, by the way”. We have a good time… and if, Megyn, you don’t like it, then I’m sorry. But you know what? “@GOP candidates & media need to get to how we’re going to turn U.S. around”. I can totally make the pledge if I’m a nominee. And what would be the reaction on the right if, say, former CNN reporter Candy Crowley had asked the exact same tough questions of Trump as Kelly?
Among the three moderators, Ailes’ hand-picked 9 p.m. anchor Megyn Kelly, a former litigator, seemed to stand out the most. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) ranting on the Senate floor about how Republicans are “sexist misogynists”.
On Thursday night, for the first GOP debate, the answer was undeniably Fox News. They see Trump as the victim here.
Republican presidential hopefuls – all of whom are trailing Trump in national polls – swiftly blasted the remarks and condemned Trump. But I’m talking about a lot of leverage. But he just crashed and burned. It was very unprofessional and shows that Fox News is not a serious news network.
Others criticized Fox News debate moderator Megyn Kelly, the target of Trump’s ire, like DD, who wrote: “She thinks she is America’s TV darling”.

Meanwhile, on The Drudge Report, 51.54% of 340,007 votes said that Trump won the debate. When he got another, the former Arkansas governor quipped: “I’m running for president”. He’s been a very blunt talker. “Most watched cable news program ever”, read the headline in Adweek.
