Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Sunday that his remarks about Fox News host Megyn Kelly have been misinterpreted. Megyn Kelly is a successful news anchor with three children, who is married to novelist and entrepreneur Douglas Brunt.

Republican Presidential candidate and businessman, Donald Trump, took to Twitter again this weekend just days after the Thursday debate and took jabs at several people and organizations, including what many believed was the shining star on Thursday.
The one network on which Trump did not appear Sunday was Fox News.
“They were completely inappropriate and offensive comments, period”, she said Sunday on CNN.
“At this point, I mean, we’ve got to focus on our message”.
“This is like wondering whether Jon Snow is really dead in ‘Game of Thrones.’ Every time I think I understand it, it changes”, said New Hampshire Republican strategist Tom Rath, comparing the Trump campaign’s future – or lack thereof – to the not-so-certain recent death of a lead character in the HBO series.
Bush himself raised those concerns about Trump on Saturday. “Because you can call someone stupid or fat, is that really what we’re going to make the decision on for who is going to be our nominee?” he told Fox News.
Trump excoriated Bush for saying “I’m not sure we need half a billion dollars for women’s health issues” at a speech in Tennessee last week. I’ve not heard of him called out for underpaying, overworking, failing to promote or laying hands on women in his employ.
Trump’s rivals for the GOP nomination scolded the billionaire for the comments, saying they would undercut their party’s standing with women. But she seemed to accept his suspect argument that about all women’s lives can be saved without abortions. President Obama carried 55% of the female vote in his 2012 re-election bid, and 56% during his first election in 2008.
Roaming a giant meeting room at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, the venue where Trump was supposed to have spoken Saturday night, Hilger said it’s possible Trump could hurt the party in general, but he will likely “pale out” as time goes on. With out him available, “I say with all due modesty, you’d have had 2 million individuals and never 24 million individuals”.
Some of Trump’s own supporters were critical of him for the comment, but if he lost any, he more than made up for them, as his 1 percent rise in the NBC poll shows.
But her appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Media Buzz” was taped Friday, before Trump made his “blood coming out of her wherever” remark.
Yesterday, Trump stuck to his assertion that only “a deviant” would interpret his comment beyond a harmless barb.
During his interview on CBS’ Face The Nation, Trump said his program “will be phenomenal to the women”.
Trump’s unconventional, insurgent campaign has excited many anti-establishment conservatives while confounding party leaders already facing the prospects of a bruising fight among 17 candidates.
“If I comment on everything he says, I mean, my whole campaign will be consumed by it”, Rubio said. The Republication Party asked him to “immediately clarify” his remark.
Pressed repeatedly for evidence to back up some of his more outlandish claims – such as that the Mexican government was dispatching murderers and rapists across the border – Trump was vague and evasive.
Recalling the exchange on ABC’s “This Week”, Trump said the question was “very, very nasty” but he appeared to take comfort in the audience’s reaction to his retort. “There is a big difference between not being politically correct and being disrespectful, and [Thursday] night Donald Trump was being disrespectful to women”.

“That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees”, Trump said in response. “But if you go to Washington, you might think somebody got there first”.
