Donald Trump is back to bashing Megyn Kelly
Published: Aug 25, 2015 8:59 a.m. ET
Donald Trump relaunched his bitter war of words with Fox News FOX, +0.89% anchor Megyn Kelly Monday night, blasting her return to the air after an unexpected hiatus.
“I liked The Kelly File much better without @megynkelly,” Trump tweeted. “Perhaps she could take another eleven day unscheduled vacation!”
The Republican candidate’s critique of Kelly was the latest in a revenge campaign since the two clashed over the GOP presidential debate on Aug. 6.
He tuned in Monday night to attack her return to the anchor desk.
“@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game,” Trump lamented. “Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!”
Trump supporters also chimed in with an online onslaught against Kelly. The Donald retweeted one hater who said, “The bimbo back in town.”
Kelly has insisted she would not back down on The Donald.
“I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism,” Kelly said days after the debate. “So I’ll continue doing my job without fear or favor.”
“@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game,” Trump lamented. “Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!”
Trump was right.....she was pathetic.
yea, he won - not sure why he felt the need to take another shot.
“I certainly will not apologize for doing good journalism,” Kelly said
She wouldn't know what "good journalism" was if it hit her in the face.
She has no genuine journalistic or political analyst background or talent.
She's simply strident, shrill & in the face of everyone on most every subject & that simply smacks of sensationalism & badgering, nothing more, nothing less.
FOX would be better of w/o her.

She and most others like her wouldn't know what good journalism is. She thinks attacking and putting someone on the spot is journalism. She has journalism confused with sensationalism.

I was typing while you posted this. Looks like we have the same opinion of Miss Kelly's abilities.
Seems odd to me that nobody noticed how bad Kelly is until Trump told them.
yea, he won - not sure why he felt the need to take another shot.
Kinda my thought. What's the prize to be won by fighting FOX?
Good Journalism?
Hardly.
“Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t use a politician’s filter,” she said. “However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women. You’ve called women you don’t like, ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ slobs, and disgusting animals.”
If I were Trump, I'd be pissed more at the opening question - of which I'm sure all 3 moderators had a hand in framing and determining.
The whole 3rd party thing was singularly focused on separating Trump from the group, taking him down right at the start and killing his momentum. It was the old lawyer trick - don't ask a question you don't already know the answer to.
That's the kind of s_hit that I get tired of Fox News doing (and yes, I understand other liberal media do it to, but I don't give two s_hits about their candidates so I don't care).
Trump should have tore all 3 of them a new ass, and not fixate on Kelly.
Or he could direct it at Karl Rove..."the architect" of all of it.
Whatever, I don't see it as being very helpful to his ambitions joined with statements like this.
“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
Probably has something to do with Trump getting the last word. Remember when the Fox "insider" made the report that Megyn's vacation was entirely planned and that Trump's supporters were crazy to think otherwise? If Fox or Megyn say nothing else, I'll bet Trump lays off and says no more.
This is not a fight that Fox can win. Even if they succeed and take down Trump, they lose because half of their audience will hate them for doing it.

The definition of Fox News. Glad to see folks sorting it out.
Maybe so, but I'd be more worried about the other 276 news sources posting his petty tweets.

Until whatever he does stops working, you might as well stop criticizing him for it. He is obviously smarter than you, I, the media, or the political class because he has broken every rule and his poll numbers only go up.
He literally is a mental step ahead of everyone. So, far he leads in every poll imaginable and he has barely spent a dime relatively speaking.
yea, he won - not sure why he felt the need to take another shot.

Who are we talking about right now?

Or poking Megyn in the eye?
She's pretty popular. You'd think he would want to keep a few people un-offended to vote for him.
If he keeps chipping away at that rock, there ain't gonna be enough left.
I'm not "criticizing" him. I'm questioning his strategy. Do you think he is counting on the public's disdain of the media to be more important than what he says? You have to remember, Trump is also the candidate that those polled are LEAST likely to vote for at this point.
Don is double digits ahead in the polls, how do you figure he is "least likely" to vote for?

Just my thoughts but... Conservatives watch Fox News. That's their bread and butter.
Conservatives had a lot of really mean things to say about Kelly, nothing but praise for Trump.
Dave
For most folks defending yourself is admirable.
but continuing to kick your opponent once down many find distasteful
not that it troubles me much those tactics,
but this is America once we tear a country up, we rebuild it
time will tell whether this is a wise move by the Donald
if Megyn is his new Rosie, I think he's making an error in judgment
guess we'll see how it all shakes out over the next few months
“@megynkelly must have had a terrible vacation, she is really off her game,” Trump lamented. “Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration!”
Trump was right.....she was pathetic.
Kelly was great. Didn't miss a beat from where she left off.
Besides reporting about the Trump interview with O”Reilly and the questions DONALD has yet to answer, she had Ben Carson on his take of the immigration debate.
And what he thinks of black on black murders.
Followed by the video of the Black Ferguson grandmother who held her dying granddaughter in her arms. The lady used a lot of bleeped words to to tell the world what she thinks of blacks who ignore black on black killing and only protest cops on black killings. “Grandmother Tears Into Black Lives Matter: 'How About Black Brutality?"
This video needs to reach a wider audience and Kelly did just that.
Kelly had Rep. Duncan Hunter asking secretary of defense to intervene on behalf of Sgt. Martland “Army axes Green Beret who stood up for Afghan rape victim.” This too is a story that needs to be front and center.
And Kelly and Chris Stirewalt demolished Clinton.
I'm not "criticizing" him. I'm questioning his strategy. Do you think he is counting on the public's disdain of the media to be more important than what he says? You have to remember, Trump is also the candidate that those polled are LEAST likely to vote for at this point.
Right............but at some time, he has to have some genuine concrete plans for a variety of things that he keeps bringing up & generalizing about.
Right now he's riding on the public feeling about DC & all its ills.
He needs to put together a coherent strategy if he is to be a serious long term candidate & get the GOP nomination.

Seems odd to me that nobody noticed how bad Kelly is until Trump told them.
Funny how that works.
Don is double digits ahead in the polls, how do you figure he is "least likely" to vote for?
That's one of the questions asked in a lot of the polls, and Pat's right............ Trump "leads" ALL the R contenders in that category, across all demographics.
Seems odd to me that nobody noticed how bad Kelly is until Trump told them.
Myself and others have known for a long time all those chicks on Fox News are closet liberals.
Just took a guy like Trump to draw it out of 'em.
Travis
Megyn's efforts were transparent. Nonetheless, all three Fox newsreaders were pretty awful.
The real viper is Chris Wallace and he sort of hid in the grass while the other two bleated loudly.

If an R candidate can't handle Fox without coming unglued..... I gotta wonder how they will handle Chris Matthews.
But, since the candidate is Trump, and he and Matthews are friends, he may find it to be a friendly venue.
Strange going-ons in the world of politics along about now.
He did handle Fox.
but the issue is Fox playing favorites
they badly misjudged their homer audience opinion on the subject.

He has been told what to think all his life and is fine with that.
yea, he won - not sure why he felt the need to take another shot.

I think he's letting journalists know he's not G Bush.
Don is double digits ahead in the polls, how do you figure he is "least likely" to vote for?
Because 2 out of 3 voters view him unfavorably. Hillary's numbers are even better than his.

That's one of the questions asked in a lot of the polls, and Pat's right............ Trump "leads" ALL the R contenders in that category, across all demographics.
Right. 30% from 100% leaves 70%, and when the biggest portion of that last number says "no way", it's a problem.

You have sensationalism confused with asking tough hardball questions of everyone you interview. That is the kind of good journalism that put Megyn at the top and keeps her there.
She has been harder on Hillary than she ever has been with Trump. Hillary will not go on her show.
DONALD can't handle the hardballs and it seems his supporters can't as well.

"While they lead in the race for the nomination, Clinton and Trump have the worst overall favorability ratings among all voters of any of the leading candidates, and the lowest scores for being honest and trustworthy, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. The Swing State Poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states."

Because if you mess with the bull, you get the horn. He's letting her and others know he's not to be F'd with. I like it. We have too many chickenchit pussies running things in this country.
Personally, I'm more than sick of the games the propaganda machine plays with elections.
FOX tried to turn the first debate into a tool to eliminate Trump's candidacy. Megyn Kelly was chosen to deliver the punch.
If Trump can destroy her career for doing so it will make others a bit hesitant to wade in.
I have no sympathy at *all* for the talking heads who make their living by catering to the RNC's propaganda machine.
Anyone who doesn't support the RNC's chosen candidate should feel the same way.
If Trump hadn't been on the stage it would have been someone else who got the punch,...probably Cruz.

The 30% doesn't include the evangelicals or the neo-con base that will NOT vote D no matter what. The 30% represents folks on both sides that are saying fu.ck. you to the political establishment and dynasties
Trump is doing well with the "kiss my ass" crowd (Both R&D) and fiscal conservatives. It's the social conservatives that will hold him back, and Democrats aren't going to vote for ANY Republican. At some point he's going to have to explain wanting to keep illegal aliens out and hiring "thousands" of them at the same time and why he changed his tune on a lot of things after 69 years. Flame on...but it's coming.

Gaudddddddd dammmmm you ever gonna run outta them rocks you're throwing.
Just my opinion, but sure looks to me like everyone's wiling to overlook Trumps behavior and anything else because he sticks it to the establishment. I'm not buying that he's the best candidate for the job of President of the United States.
I sincerely hope this shakes out in a year.

To many folks are tired of being fugged with no kiss.
either that or most people are too afraid to say how they really feel about him. Buncha sheep!
Yeah. Nice try. Trump's already trashed her to.

You better hope not.
Trump is the first candidate who has ever had any success at backing down the established political machine,....and the political machine in this country doesn't give a damn about the people. In fact, it's been getting more and more hostile to the will of the people.
Nobody else running for President has the ability to take on the political machine because they depend on the political machine to finance their campaign.
If that's not enough to make the light bulb come on,...well,...you're going to get the government that you deserve.

You are right. And lots haven't, never will and constitute the majority.
Trump could reach the same objectives without coming across as an a-hole. Apparently he is not capable of sitting back a little and planning a less hostile strategy.

Trump has a huge competitive streak and is fearless, but he has made plenty of bad decisions that cost other people billions of dollars. He certainly has learned a lot in the process and maybe the time has come for the people to let him gamble with America. We'll know before long.

Typical of all these Trumpsters. Derogatory remarks about anyone that doesn't profess their devotion to the great Donald Trump.
The absolute best chance for a GOP victory is a Trump/Cruz ticket.
Anything else will result in the end of anything even remotely resembling conservatism in America.
Another Democratic administration will result in 20,000,000 "new citizens" ready to vote Democrat for everything from dogcatcher on up.

That means that Cruz may has been successful in his Texas campaign, but he's never had the nation's propaganda machine working to scuttle his chances.
Yeah. Nice try. Trump's already trashed her to.
All is fair in love and politics. They all buy beers after the debates.
If he is one of the contenders for the POTUS, and he asks her, she'll say Yes.
That means that Cruz may has been successful in his Texas campaign, but he's never had the nation's propaganda machine working to scuttle his chances.
Trump hasn't had ANY propaganda machine working against him...yet. That was all I have been saying this entire time.

The simple reason they are currently silent is.....they are dumbfounded because they no longer control the narrative.
Wake up.
That means that Cruz may has been successful in his Texas campaign, but he's never had the nation's propaganda machine working to scuttle his chances.
I told myself that I wasn't gonna get into this again. But honestly, some of you really need to wake up. Do you not pay attention to anyone other than your Great and Glorious Donald Trump? UGH!
That means that Cruz may has been successful in his Texas campaign, but he's never had the nation's propaganda machine working to scuttle his chances.
Trump hasn't had ANY propaganda machine working against him...yet. That was all I have been saying this entire time.
Honest question. Why do you think the liberal MSM has basically remained silent concerning Trump?
Because they've all asked HIM for money.
Then you haven't been paying attention. The establishment has been out to destroy him long before Trump was a candidate. Before him, Cruz was public enemy #1.
The world isn't Texas.
Best part of it is.

I hadn't though of that. That's probably the biggest part of it.
It sure as hell isn't going to be Cruz. Outside of TX, he's not well liked....because he's a politician.
BS. He drew a big turnout here when he helped our senator get elected.
How's he doing in the polls?..outside of texas?

Well, I guess I stand corrected. I though they had some other polls within the last three weeks. I like the one's where liberals aren't the primary audience best.
Only 440 days to election, not a lot of this will matter way before then.

Don is double digits ahead in the polls, how do you figure he is "least likely" to vote for?
That's one of the questions asked in a lot of the polls, and Pat's right............ Trump "leads" ALL the R contenders in that category, across all demographics.
Right. 30% from 100% leaves 70%, and when the biggest portion of that last number says "no way", it's a problem.
"While they lead in the race for the nomination, Clinton and Trump have the worst overall favorability ratings among all voters of any of the leading candidates, and the lowest scores for being honest and trustworthy, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds. The Swing State Poll focuses on Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania because since 1960 no candidate has won the presidential race without taking at least two of these three states."

There's a big difference in leading an early republican field, and being able to pull off, and actually win a national election for POTUS.
Even though Trump leads the GOP field, even Hitlery is favored in the polls to beat him in a national election. That speaks volumes in itself.
I think we'd better all be looking at the bigger picture further down the road.

They love me,” Donald Trump said of Hispanic-American immigrants. “And I’ll tell you something: If I get the nomination, I’ll win the Latino vote.”Gallup has always polled likely voters and has polled 2, 183 Hispanic likely voters since he first made those statements.
This latest poll of about 650 Hispanics found 14 percent found Trump favorable and 65 percent unfavorable.
What ever you think about legal and illegal immigration; Hispanics votes for Bush were 44 percent, McCain 31 percent and Romney 27 percent.
Dropping those numbers makes 270 electoral votes harder to reach.

Exactly what did he have to gain by his on piling on? I see his actions as silly and potentially dumb. Bullish and expected yes...but still silly.
If Trump does run as his an Independent it will be a result of his own undoing. Not the GOP.
Pat--I agree.
The more "journalists" a presidential candidate tells to fugk off, the better, as far as I'm concerned. They've made their profession into the laughing stock it is, so fugk 'em.
And if the GOP doesn't like that, fugk them too.
Go Trump.

Agreed but he had already done that so mission accomplished. Why throw more gas on a fire that could potentially burn you? Especially, when not provoked.
Just leave well enough alone and move onto the next battle.
Why not?
Seems to keep everybody talking about him and there was nothing but Fox News viewers logging onto Facebook to tell her she's a chunt (paraphrasing.)
Win/win as far as I can tell.
Travis
Time will tell for sure. I support the man but would hate to see him start to lose certain groups of really valuable votes.
Case-n-point...he had Fox and Ailes all locked up. Now his phone undid what was a huge positive for the Trump camp.
Focus on the issues now Donald!!!! That time has come. We know you can bully. Now deliver solutions!!!
Like him or not he's playing the game well, and is on everyone's tongue tip, CNN, FOX, even Huffastpost, you name it they are all talking Trump.
Yeah it's 20 minutes.
But the guy exudes an America first attitude, leadership, humor, confidence, focus, command of the room, energy, and knowledge of how broken the system is.
Good stuff.

All of the 14 percent who found Trump favorable.
I'm not buying that he's the best candidate for the job of President of the United States.
Refresh my memory here - when was the last time we elected the best candidate?

Reagan (career politician)
But now we finally have at least a couple of viable candidates. Your problem is you're so dazzled by the billionaire, you can't see anything else. And apparently, willing to overlook all his flaws.
Having said that, if he actually does get the nomination I'll take him over the Democrat nominee. I just think he's gonna have a real problem within a years time if he doesn't start showing more substance. I hear lots of, "Hispanics love me, I'm rich, Mexico and China are taking all of jobs and money, the other candidates are stupid.....).
[quote=ironbender][quote=KMS] "Hispanics love me, I'm rich, Mexico and China are taking all of jobs and money, the other candidates are stupid.....).
...and "I love the Chinese" and "I hire thousands of Mexicans" and "I'm very rich", in the same breath.
Maybe he won't have to explain it. Obama didn't. It just depends if the media lets him slide.
IF he does win you will be hearing this exact same rhetoric for the next 4 years.
I can hear his SOTU now. "Everyone in the world loves me and I love them. Well some are stupid."
F...!!!! > Obama got IN on less than any thing the Donald has said... ...go look at u tube/newspaper stuff ...u guys get wit the program !!! give me 10 billion I will have u guys building pyramids.... wake up !!!

LMAO! I was unaware of my "problem" until now. Thanks so much.
Seems odd to me that nobody noticed how bad Kelly is until Trump told them.
Many of us have been saying it all along, and no, I'm not a Trump supporter.
She has shown bald-faced ignorance on many occasions over the years, especially re: 2A.

At this point, if he would do a full-on Reagan, all positive all the time, he'd have it in the bag.
But... like you said, gratuitous snarky comments about some newsbabe don't elevate his image.
Meanwhile what he's doing is casting the whole field of Republican candidates, the best we've had in some time, into the shadows.
Who among those "undecided" really knows what a Bush/Carson/Cruz/Fiorina/Jindal/Rubio etc... actually stands for?
So, Trump has us by the collective short hairs.
This election cycle we have some of the weakest Democratic candidates in some time.
1) Trump runs as an Independent; the Democrats win.
2) Trump drops out late in the game; nobody knows enough about the remaining candidates to separate the wheat from the chaff. The Democrats win.
3) Trump gets the nomination and then says some more stupid petty crap; people vote when they are PO'd so they turn out in numbers to vote against him. The Democrats win.
Meanwhile our side is as usual divided, calling each other "ball washers" and "suck ups" if they happen to like some other contender than the one we like.
Its been pointed out already, it ain't the sort that hangs around the 'Fire gonna win this election, is regular folks, including lots of women.
This election is the big one, I too am gonna vote against the Democrats whoever we put forward on our side,...
....and then go out and pray.

America is shallow enough these days that name recognition will win the election. Period. It is like the candidate for the local election who spends two hundred thousand dollars on yard signs. Get Trump the nomination, and he will win.

One flaw that is likely to prove fatal for The Donald is his thin skin. In politics, you can't attack everyone who calls you names, unless you are Mugabe, Stalin, or Nixon. Obama is thin skinned, and that hasn't served him well. Don needs to toughen up on that front. Politics has some name calling and uncomfortable press interviews. You have to withstand the bombs and well as throw them.
