US candidate Trump defends ‘blood’ comment about debate moderator

Speaking on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher, which returned Friday after a brief summer hiatus, Maher complimented Fox News’ Megyn Kelly for asking Trump some tough questions during Thursday’s record-setting Republican debate, but seemed to agree with the aggrieved Trump’s post-debate whining about being picked on by the conservative network. People on Twitter, though, are more likely to see news about national government and politics compared with Facebook.

Ten Republican presidential candidates will be present at the gathering and Ms. Kelly has been invited in Trump’s place.

Donald Trump and his “blood” comment may finally put him on the wrong side of GOP supporters. But 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 deserves more, not simply because of what it tells us about Trump’s attitude toward women – who, by the way, account for over half of voters – but about his fundamental fitness for the office he seeks.

In a statement today, Trump’s campaign called Erickson a “total loser” who “has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns”.

With billionaire businessman Trump showing no signs of letting up, and none of the other 16 major Republicans in the race ready to concede anything after just one debate, the contest for the Republican nomination is an unsettled affair that’s just getting started. “Mr. Trump made Megyn Kelly look really bad – she was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard”, the campaign said.

It’s not clear at all that the backlash from Trump’s comments would bring an end to his campaign. But like I say, it’s savvy to accuse Fox of being out to get him: The jet fuel in the rocket of Trumpmania is that the GOP powers that be can’t handle the hard truths he’s been telling (like how effective single-payer health care is).

Republican Party leaders, whose presidential nominees have not won a majority of female voters since 1988, are setting their sights on making electoral gains among women in the 2016 presidential race and trying to close the gender gap in swing states such as Florida and Colorado. “Only Rosie O’Donnell“, he said. “I’m going to love my daughters … no matter what they do”, he said.

“Honestly, Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry, I’ve been very nice to you although I probably could maybe not be based on the way you’ve been to me“.

Clinton was scheduled to be traveling during the debate and didn’t plan to make a statement afterward.

Donald Trump doesn’t have time for your political correctness.

Trump set the tone early in a combative exchange with Kelly over some of the derogatory words he has used to describe women.

“I think there is a line of decency that even a non-professional politician can cross”. Marco Rubio also were at RedState. “No. Excuse”, and, “I stand with @megynkelly“. “You ungrateful dog!” he tweeted in 2013 at a rapper who wrote a song titled “Donald Trump“.

“That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees”, Trump said in response. I’d also bet that a lot of American women are watching all this and seeing confirmation that on gender issues, the conservative movement is still stuck in the mindset of a previous century.
