That’s the question that has yet to play out, as Kelly, a Washington lawyer-turned-journalist on the successful prime-time Fox News show The Kelly File, has been jettisoned into the post-debate stratosphere.

“I don’t need money, I’m running my own deal”, Trump said.
She began her programme on Monday night by saying it’s “time to move forward” after days of attacks against her from the hotel tycoon and his followers.
The fury against Trump started after he slammed Kelly a day after the debate. “Does that sound like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?” The candidate claimed that she asked him tougher questions while other politicians got off with softballs. “But I wouldn’t do that”.
Trump, who has enjoyed an early lead in the polls, refused to apologize for the remark Sunday, and said that only a “deviant” would have thought he’d intended the word “wherever” to mean anything other than her ears or her nose.
Donald Trump and Fox News appear to have buried the hatchet. “I want to run as a Republican But I do want to keep that door open in case I don’t get treated fairly”. I think that Donald Trump may actually become the Republican nominee for President of the United States and then he’ll have to go head to head with my girl Hillary Clinton. Ailes later confirmed he spoke to Trump and said he assured the real estate magnate “we will continue to cover this campaign with fairness and balance. We had a blunt but cordial conversation and the air has been cleared”, said Ailes, a former Republican operative.
Trump phoned in for an interview on Tuesday’s episode of “Fox & Friends“.
“My life has not been about losing”, Trump said. “I have decided not to respond”.
Trump took to Twitter to rebuff Kelly, and told CNN, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”.

Kelly had questioned the GOP candidate regarding derogatory remarks he has made in the past about women, calling them “disgusting animals” and “fat pigs”. “In the beginning, virtually 100 percent of the emails were against Megyn Kelly”, one Fox source, who was briefed on the situation, told me. “I’m anxious about what Republican policies would do to the rest of America’s women and I will continue to speak out and speak up about that today and through the rest of this campaign and in the White House“.
