“You’re having a hard time tonight”, Trump answered. “He really could be a liberal, for all I’m concerned”.

Trump on Sunday refused to apologize for the comments during last week’s presidential debate, insisting he was misunderstood.
An early tense trade discovered her urgent Trump on his historical past of calling “ladies you do not like ‘fats pigs, canine, slobs, and disgusting animals, ‘” with Trump firing again, “What I say is what I say”.
“You can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, Trump told CNN on Friday.
Donald Trump doesn’t appear to be going away anytime soon, so his rivals are scrambling to figure out how best to handle the blowback from every new bout of bluster drowning out their campaigns. “Only a sick person would even think about that”, he said.
He said he opposes gay marriage, but when asked how he would explain that position to a child who announced he or she was gay or lesbian, he said: “I’m going to love my daughters no matter what they do”.
Trump nevertheless did not offer an apology.
Kelly had questioned Trump’s history of insults directed at women and whether that kind of language would perpetuate the idea of a Republican “war on women”.
“He felt attacked. It wasn’t an attack. She talks like a truck driver”, he said in 2006 during an interview with “Entertainment Tonight”.
“It’s her job to ask tough questions”, she said. He certainly has enough money to do it. “I’m really rich”, he said, setting his personal fortune at 10 billion. After all, outlandish Tea Party candidates kept the Republican Party from winning a Senate majority in 2010: Christine O’Donnell in Delaware (“I’m not a witch”), Sharron Angle in Nevada (unemployed Americans are “spoiled”), Ken Buck in Colorado (ban all abortions, including those for victims of rape and incest).
Stone is the second Trump adviser to leave the campaign, Sam Nunberg, was fired last week over racist Facebook posts.
Trump’s adversaries have seized the opportunity to score points against the unlikely frontrunner.
Kelly is a former attorney and political commentator for FOX News. “I think he needs to support our party”, said another. I didn’t think that.
But if there was anything close to a consensus, it was that the activists still want to hear from Trump and hope that other candidates heed his rise.
“In no way do I advocate saying mean things about people“.
Donald Trump’s succes is the result of voters becoming disaffected with the political elite.
Other candidates bemoaned the challenge of preaching their message when all their precious free TV time is spent being asked about Trump.
Some pundits called him a coarse and vulgar man, while others said he was bringing attention to the Republican party with his anti-Washington rhetoric.
“He is the most arrogant candidate next to the candidate called Barack Obama”, he said. Trump has claimed that the “wherever” was referencing Kelly’s nose, but few are buying that.
“It was the biggest combination of laughter and applause”. “He may go up and down in the polls but he will be there when the first voting takes place in February”.
Even as he asserted that one of his main challengers is the one in trouble with female voters, the only woman in the GOP contest said she believes women are “horrified” by Trump’s comments and that the billionaire businessman may be unprepared for the pressure that comes with being president. “And I will help women with women’s health issues”.

Among the most vocal critics of Trump’s remarks, according to several people involved in the discussions, were two conservative media rising-stars, Townhall’s Katie Pavlich and HotAir’s Mary Katharine Ham, both Fox News contributors and employees of RedState’s sister sites.
