Donald Trump has been uninvited from one of the US’s biggest gatherings of conservative activists after making an apparent reference to the menstrual cycle of a high-profile woman interviewer. And I’ve been very sympathetic to Donald Trump because so numerous people who have led the party astray refuse to even treat him as a legitimate candidate. “He speaks from the heart and his experience is just phenomenal. and I just think he’s got what it takes”, said Carolyn Adams.
Controversial Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump faced a huge backlash last night following his criticism of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly after a combustible debate performance.
“You call women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals”, Kelly said.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Florida Sen. Moderator Megyn Kelly asked Kasich that if he had a child who was gay, how he’d justify his opposition to same-sex marriage. But the Donald Trump matter is still the talk of the hallways, with most RedState attendees appearing to support RedState founder Erick Erickson’s decision to “disinvite” Trump from a planned event this evening.
Trump needs “to understand that he is seeking the presidency of the United States now and that words do matter”, RNC spokesman Sean Spicer told NBC’s “Today” show on Saturday.
Trump has a long history of lobbing insults at those he feels have treated him unfairly, and advises those who buy his books to do the same.
Trump then phoned in to “Fox & Friends” to say that he felt fine taking the stage with the other nine GOP candidates, until Kelly nailed him with “that really tough question”.
The kickoff to the 2016 Republican White House race drew a stunning 24 million total viewers, breaking records for primary debates on cable TV, according to Nielsen.
Kasich seemed to dismiss that possibility when he said on NBC’s Meet the Press that “at the end of the day you have a nominee and the nominee is the person who reflects the views of the Republican Party“.
Erick Erickson said Trump’s remark was “a bridge too far for me”.
