Trump is a misogynistic ***. Megyn Kelly did her job. What this primary has revealed to me is that 25% of my party is made up of bigots.



1. I grew up in San Antonio. 70% of the city is ethnically hispanic. I was often raped and sold drugs, but hell, i assume some people in that city were good people.... no, I'm just kidding was never raped or sold drugs. Apparently fleeing a drug ravaged battleground for the sake of your family makes you a 100% rapist and possibly a good person. Hearing bigots ***** about illegal immigration is like hearing a billionaire ***** about how bad a recession is pinching him. It's so easy to hate the people you've never lived among from your comfortable homes far away from the border.



2. John McCain was a war hero. Trump got an extremely painful bone spur, and can't remember what foot it was on. I'm sure.



3. Then Trump had the audacity to bring his glass ceiling misogyny into a presidential debate. It was disgusting.

Let's use some logic and common sense on this one, not just "kneejerk" emotional reactions.



Republican conservatives are going to want their favorite candidate to win against the Democratic nominee for president, right? They're not going to want to nominate a GOP candidate who can't win, or is unlikely to win. That would be self-destructive and foolish - right?



Trump is hugely popular with some Republicans, but he isn't necessarily loved by everybody. If he wins the GOP presidential nomination, he's going to have to campaign against some Democrat, whose supporters will be ready to attack Trump with every weapon they've got.



Therefore, there was nothing "anti-conservative" or "anti-Republican" about Megyn Kelly asking Trump some very tough, even apparently hostile questions about one of his possible political weak spots -- certain sexist and offensive things he's said about women.



If Trump can't answer those questions about his attitudes toward women well enough to win the votes of many Republican and independent women voters, he's likely to lose -- especially if the Democrats nominate Hillary. Therefore it may be good for the GOP and the conservative right that Megyn Kelly asked the questions of Trump in last week's debate.



If Trump can't answer such questions effectively when Kelly asks them, he's not suitable to be the GOP nominee, because he might not be able to campaign effectively against Clinton, either.



Conservatives need to know how Trump can/will handle this issue. So they probably should thank Megyn Kelly for asking him the question.



Meanwhile, if Trump's sexist attacks on Kelly win him a big enough following among conservative Republican men to offset any losses he's suffering with women, then maybe Kelly even did Trump himself a favor. Maybe even Trump himself should be thanking her. it's better for him to be handling the question now, before a friendly GOP audience, than having to answer it later, for the first time, in a televised debate with Hillary, before a tougher national audience.



-- Truth in advertising: I'm a democratic socialist who would never vote for Trump. I also don't like Fox News or Megyn Kelly. But I think the logic above makes sense, if you think about it.

She's not a traitor. She just asks tough questions that most Republicans prefer not to touch on because they're usually two-faced.



I will say that her question about Trump's conpanies' bankruptcy was unfair, solely because the other candidates were being asked about immigration and race, and she suddenly hopped onto the aforementioned question. I mean, seriously? She also asked an inflammatory question in the beginning of the debate that wasn't necessary, and Trump threw it right back at her, and rightfully so.



Again, she's not a traitor; she's tough. But she seems to enjoy taking little personal jabs at Trump and acting innocent right after.
2015-08-09 14:47:17 UTC
For what? She just asked questions, not her fault if Trump couldn't answer them without making himself look like a fool. Did you want her to praise him and kiss his feet?
2015-08-12 09:26:59 UTC
Megyn Kelly has stated that she is an Independent. Her first questions to all candidates were tough. Trump was the one that had the temper tantrum. He is thin skinned. If he can't handle a question like that now, how will he handle it with other reporters and if he ends up debating the Democratic candidate? He is spending considerable time now volleying back at reporters and any candidates that make remarks about him. Then he has his Twitter wars.



I want to hear about his policies and his plans for this country and not his personal beefs on reporters and candidates.



I don't think Megyn is a traitor to the conservative party. Some of the questions probably were to spark the ratings higher and those questions had to come from Roger Ailes.



I think that moderators Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer did a better job in the first debate.

She is a member of the media, she is not supposed to be a friend to any party or cause. The only cause the media is beholden to is the truth. Since she is employed by Fox News, she and the truth are unacquainted. Her performance at the most recent Republican debate was the first time she showed anything close to being a decent member of the media. The media is supposed to keep the government in line, they are the Fourth Estate, and should act like it.

I see Megyn as an opportunist. She's trying to appear tough. She obviously had a bone to pick with Donald Trump, and the questions she asked were intended to provoke the response she got. I've never thought of Megyn Kelly as a conservative, and I don't know if she's a republican or not. So I can't tell you if she's a traitor, until she actually comes out and tells us what she is.

Why is everyone acting like Trump was the only candidate that was asked hard questions? Here is Ben Carson's first question from Megyn Kelly:



"You are a successful neurosurgeon, but you admit that you have had to study up on foreign policy, saying there’s a lot to learn.



Your critics say that your inexperience shows. You’ve suggested that the Baltic States are not a part of NATO, just months ago you were unfamiliar with the major political parties and government in Israel, and domestically, you thought Alan Greenspan had been treasury secretary instead of federal reserve chair.



Aren’t these basic mistakes, and don’t they raise legitimate questions about whether you are ready to be president?"



Now....if he was Trump, he would have been crying foul...and if he was a liberal, he would be playing the race card....but he's a grownup and didn't take offense....he's presidential. Trump is not.

In all honesty, the majority of the population of the USA is a traitor to Republican party. The party is and has been dissolving/dividing over the past 20 years. Why? How? They have been splitting and splitting in ideals, beliefs, political lines, etc... and are now minorities. Now the FLIP SIDE of politics. The democrats are the exact same but are at the time more unified (at the moment) and splitting slower in deep/true beliefs then the republicans. Both parties were born are from an archaic time... post 2000's children are seeing this.

This is retarded. She is a journalist not a politician; she is supposed to ask hard questions. A journalist that allows their political affiliation to get in the way of the news is is a "TV personality" and no longer a credited journalist.

Why can people understand that the question she asked is the same question 90% of the female voting population also wants to know? Do you think Megyn was tough? How do you think the accusations are going to be when they come from Hillary?? Megyn gave The Donald an opportunity to give his side of the story. He should have been ready for this question before he even put forth his intention to run for office.

What Megyn Kelly did was no different from what moderators at MSNBC and CNN have done to Republicans in the past. The biggest problem was that while she asked all of the other candidates policy questions, she opened an attacking line of questioning on Donald Trump over what is arguably, meaningless drivel. Megyn's actions have undoubtedly caused her and FoxNews viewers. I know she has lost me and my family.

I don't see Megyn Kelly as a traitor, though it may well be apparent that Trump is not her favorite candidate, she apparently made some effort to ask many of the candidates some tough questions, though I did think she gave Huckabee a softball, perhaps a little bit of Fox News fellowship.

Megan Kelly is a commentator, period. She makes her money on ratings. Trump opening his yap about her menses, probably did more for her ratings than anything she has done since she 1st started her show.

I will be voting in the republican primary for either Rand Paul or Carly Fiorina.



I will never vote for Jeb, Christie, or Kasich, They are RINO fascists. No different that Queen Hitlery.

She's just a professional news anchor what ever she said about trump was probably just business. I think she is a conservative republican because if she weren't she wouldn't be able to do what she does every day. A person can debate something they strongly disagree and do a good job and sound convincing for a collage debate but to do that all the time I would thing would be a little infuriating and irritating don't you think? just how many people with gender mismatch despise having the body they were born with and just go with it for money? Not very many I would imagine.

Of course not, Megyn was doing her job as an un-biased questioner. She actually helped the Republican party by exposing a very biased potential candidate. It's best to weed out these clowns before the convention.

Trump was on the defensive anyhow after Megyn Kelly asked that question. And Trump doesn't like to be on the defensive, he wants to be always right, he doesn't like to lose an argument. And the woman had to take his abuse form of comment to prove himself he was right. He was wrong and he knows it but wont admitted. He'll never make a good or a bad president.

Certainly not a traitor to the republicans. It is important to see how candidates respond to tough questions. Her questions were no worse than what liberals are saying. Trump and other candidates need to show how they can respond to anyone on any topic. I believe FOX also needs to be strong in support of Megyn and others who test the candidates. Fair and balanced, not CNN.

In all her editorializing to date, it seems that Megyn Kelly would prefer a Republican wins the next presidential election over Hillary Clinton. To that end, she and the other moderators used that first round of hard-ball questioning as a forum to vet which candidates are "electable" in terms of who can beat Clinton. Following the thrashing we got in 2012, the GOP did a post-mortem and found we need to attract more votes to win the presidency, and the biggest opportunities are to attract more women and Latino voters. It is possible to attract them using conservative reasoning, but it's not possible if we nominate a renowned misogynist who says all Latinos coming over the borders are criminals and rapists. Trump only hardened his position as a misogynist with his reflex "blood coming out of her wherever" comment, and did not win any women voters with that gaffe no matter much he spins it.



Political correctness is a fact of life so we better nominate someone who knows the rules. This is politics, after all.

Yes. I feel the entire Fox Team kicked open the door for the Democratic nominee ( whoever that may be ) to secure the White House for another 8 years. I'll not vote for any Republican nominee when there's clandestine reporting and questions being asked by Fox News like we saw at last weeks first Republican debate.

I don't care who asked the question, it was a fair question, and she was just doing her job. Even in a court of law, a prosecutor cannot use evidence of a defendant's character to prove he committed a crime, UNLESS, that defendant first puts that character trait in issue. In other words, even in an environment as regulated as a courtroom, where if you even phrase a statement wrong, you'll get objected to, you can still use evidence of someone's bad/dishonest/selfish/aggressive/etc character to prove they committed an unrelated crime, if the defendant first tries prove that he is a good/honest/selfless/peaceful/etc person.



Trump put his temperment at issue when he SAID "you should vote for me because unlike those others guys, I have temperment." Kelly's question basically said "You said you have temperment, but everytime someone disagrees with you, you call them playground names like a little b|tch rather than try to come up with a counter-argument. Clearly, you are full of sh|t." Trump should be held accountable for past acts or statements like every other candidate. He DOES NOT deserve special treatment, and the question was absolutely relevant, and should have been addressed by Trump. Can you imagine Trump negotiating with other countries, sitting there, calling them names like a little kid every time things don't go his way? You want this guy to be your next president?



Donald Trump is a spoiled d|ckless little b|tch who doesn't know how to live without being entitled. How's that for political correctness? He is an embarrassment to all Americans.

Fox News put on a JOKE....it was never about learning what each candidate stood for and what their policies would be.....they asked questions to certain ones to cause riffs between those certain ones, and yes they attacked Trump and intended to make a story to harp over for all their radio and TV news shows.



I set and wondered what each Candidate stood for what they were going to do and how..BUT Fox did not allow that to occur....all they wanted was to cause arguments and create a story to talk about for months.

Kelly has a beef with Trump and has have for awhile. She like so many can not stand when someone simply speaks the truth......she belongs on MSNBC, not Fox...she and OReilly are more liberal than most liberals...remind me of McCain...he is a Repub but votes more on the liberal side then any conservative side and is in fact is as Liberal and if not more so than Polosi or Reid.



I like to see moderators who ask EVERY Candidate what their policies will be and how will they do X-Y-Z....Not say i will do this or that and never give no information at all...and worse never allowed to



Most people have NO CLUE what each one stands for and how they intend to handle all the problems Obama has caused this Country BOTH domestically and abroad...failed policies that have almost destroyed this Nation and has allowed our enemies to prosper and our allies to flee from us......Just saying i will strengthen the military or repeal Obamacare is not an answer....who WILL and HOW WILL they Truly have REAL Healthcare reform ( Obamacare has reformed NO HEALTH CARE) it only forced people to buy Insurance while Doctors, Hospitals, etc etc still steal billions from Medicare/ Medicaid every month...and charge people 10 times the price their actual services cost.....and the excuse Doctors will leave ? really to where Iran ? China ? countries whose healthcare system is ...well NONE-Existent !!! Fox Botched the debate.....like they through hissies about Newt Gingrich last year because he had remarried...and yet Clinton "did not have sex with that woman " and people cheered......the double standard Fox claims about others they showed themselves ....and Kelly was only concerned about her own agenda. Fox should fire her.......so MSNBC can hire her...that is where she belongs !!!

For all that dont know Megyn Kelly is a right wing conservative and at least USED to be referred to as the "Conservative Darling". She seems like she isnt a real conservative though in the since that she will agree with whatever society does for the most part. An opportunist like one of you said. If Clinton is winning i see no reason why she wont sway towards her. A traitor though? Not to that extreme no. But I don't feel that she should be called a republican unless she commits to the party. I have seen no real evidence that she is loyal to the party. Hope this helped! ;)

First of all, I do not see what she may have done to even be considered as that., but perhaps you think that FOX rolls just like PMS-NBC, just for the other side. Not true. Fox is not trying to "Engineer" the election, they are trying to give their viewers the best look at the candidates.



Megyn just happens tio be the toughest female interviewer in the business. Don't let that drop-dead gorgeous face foool you.

Megan Kelly is an honest and through hard-news reporter. Mostly she is pretty laid back, but she is not going to be blown off (or laughed off) when she asks a serious question. Neither Donald Trump (nor his typical supporter) have any more sense of humor than your typical left-wing liberal (that is to say NONE). Trump thought he should be thrown soft-ball questions just because he is leading in the polls. Kelly debased him of that assumption and now he is angry with her. Frankly the questions she asked the other candidates were just as hard-ball as the one Trump is so angry about. But Trump (and his supporters) are the only ones whining. None of the questions she asked was unfair. The one excepting was an attempt to get Trump to agree to not run as a Third Party Candidate, and Bret Baier asked that question, not Megan Kelly. That smelled of an ambush, but Trump should have anticipated that question and been better prepared to address it.

I don't think she's a traitor. I don't think she was ever on anyone's side but her own. I'm very conservative, but I have always found her to be brash, rude, and dishonest by way of only giving half of the truth. She is very unprofessional and intentionally crosses the line for ratings. I don't even like Trump, but what she did was unprofessional and biased. No one wins when a debate isn't a debate but a big joke and a pulpit for one person's own grievances and ratings.

I don't think the establishment Republicans like Trump and I don't think they want him to win the nomination and that's why they're doing everything they can to destroy his campaign.
2015-08-12 06:44:56 UTC
No; she hit him them with the same type of questions that we would expect during a presidential debate. If all Trump is going to say is JOBS then why should we vote for him? why does Donald Trump wants us to trust him of all people? Why does he deserve more trust than the other candidates? If you ask me he hasn't stated any specifics and expects us to just trust that he will do a good job. In this day and age we cannot just trust people; we have to look for *specific* qualities that we agree with. And besides Megyn Kelly is not fully responsible for those questions she just asked them during the debate. She didn't write those questions by herself; someone else wrote them for her or with her.

Megan Kelly is gonna do whatever she has to do to maintain her Fox Network career. There is no conspiracy there. She is just the voice asking the questions on people's minds she isn't conciously trying to put a slant on things or going after trump because she hates him. She just wants him to answer to his comments and elaborate more clearly on what he means. If Donald is going to make outrageous comments he needs to be able to elobarate to the public what he really means versus just making a paumpus compulsive statement that cannot be explained without any reasoning. Kelly might be a little vengant with her line of questioning but they are neccessary questions that need answering.
2015-08-11 17:09:29 UTC
She is just another arrogant person whom feels obligated to go with the flow in regards to how she thinks the vast majority of equally arrogant people feel at any given time. This is why for decades she instead of being an independent thinker she instead has shown the need for approval of arrogant people and therefore has expressed hateful attitudes towards decent people. What she failed to realize is that the very same arrogant people that she wants to please are the very same people like Trump whom will answer even justified questions with an arrogant and insulting response. This is what happens when such groups like the gop and tea party choose arrogance towards others over respect and consideration towards others. While gop and tea party are minding people's business; the democratic party continues to move our country forward.

Idiots. By giving Trump the question about misogynistic allegations, he addressed it early before it could have any real impact on his candidacy. Megyn Kelly ruined the Democrat's "October Surprise". She did him a HUGE favor, as well as herself. She had 4 times the viewership last night because of it.

Of course not, you sound as if her job was to promote Republican candidates and their agendas. News flash, she is NOT part of any politician's campaign organization, like all the other moderators she is a journalist, and their job was to ask questions that probed the candidates' ideas, policies, and characters. I think they did a great job, and as a lifelong conservative Republican I in no way feel that any of them were "traitors", they did their jobs. Remember that Fox News is the only major news organization that is not in the tank for the dimocraps. They look like conservatives only because all the others are so far to the left.

No. Even if she is a conservative, she is a journalist, and will take

advantage of anyone. The things she said were uncalled for.

The way Trump responded was not right either, but you are dealing

with one of the most powerful men in the world, and one of the richest.

As you saw, the hub hub was squelched quickly, because I promise

you Trump put an end to it, and shut Miss Kelly up as you might have

seen on her FoxNews show.

The question was unfair.

.

Example: Bill Cosby raped approximately 100 women and got away with it.

.

Bill Clinton raped an estimated 1000 women in the last 35 years of his access to power. Today Clinton is celebrated and gets up to $500K to deliver B.S. speeches.



Trump replied to verbal attacks from lesbians and other deviants, this is his worst crime, and now he is to be attacked by that fool Kelly and denied access to the same office as Bill Clinton the 1000x rapist held ???



Do I smell a double standard ?

I'll respond to the Trump issue. I am not a Trump fan, but I will say that I found her questions inappropriate, and quite frankly, displaying the problems with the media the Trump has stirred up. He was treated unfairly; no other candidate was asked personal questions in regards to their "participation" in the "War Against Women". (BTW I am a woman.) I believe those questions were asked purely in an attempt to get a headline-worthy response from Trump. But...I wouldn't say she betrayed all republicans. She just participated in typical media problems.

I'm a democrat and didn't know her. But to me it seemed she used the same blunt forwardness that trump uses. Hence his smirk. Why is it when he does it it's "speaking the truth" and when it's someone else it's a traitor? If she did a hit job you can bet it was GOP influenced. If it were bipartisan I wouldn't be surprised either. There's no "fairness" in politics. It's open warfare. And she's too hot to be a republican.

Why is the question she asked Trump NOT RELEVANT? I think name-calling when you are president of the United States (and this isn't constructive criticism, folks, this is just insulting someone for the sake of insulting them) is not presidential. Am I alone in this??? I find his behavior appalling, mostly because he thinks he's being a straight shooter. This isn't a case of being direct, this is just over-the-top mean, childish behavior. And, why is it Trump can't take the heat? His MO is to lash out at anyone who questions him. Again, not one of the characteristics I'd look for in a president??? Incidentally, I'm trying to picture Ronald Reagan spouting off the phrase "fat pig" to describe a person right now and I'm just not able to conjure it up. I think there's a reason for that.

No. She was doing her job. He's tryna win republican nomination, but it's evident by his past and things he says in the present that he's not really republican. His views are more democratic.



If he won the nomination, and went up against the democrat nominee, he would be the lesser of evils and I would vote for him. But among the other republican candidates right now, Trump definitely would not be my first or preferred choice.

Most republicans are cry babies ,and thumper is no exception,this is just the start,he hasn't even been baited by a pro yet why ? he doesn't need any help when the polls wane and he has a chance to pull his foot out of his mouth the fun will begin, little doggies

No, she isn't. She's a certain type of establishment conservative though with an agenda. She tried to corner the Trump. She lost. The "moderators" were trying to get Trump out the race. Just notice how badly he was treated.

No, she should not be labeled a "traitor" because she asked ALL of the candidates some pretty hard ball questions, not just Trump. The debate would have been weak if she just asked all of the candidates what flavor ice cream they prefer. These candidates will also get hardball questions non-stop from more liberal news shows (MSNBC, CNN, ABC) they mine as well prepare now!

Absolutely yes! Not only does she not take orders from her betters (anyone with a title in the GOP) but she has the NERVE to ask pointed questions from them. Doesn't she KNOW that it's the soul of the GOP to follow orders and NOT ask why? She's a traitor.

Why were women more polite and respectful to men back in the the 80s (and to a lesser extent, the 50s)? Back when they married out of high school instead of becoming feminazi lesbians who want to KILL men? Figure it out yourself.

For all the good she's done, for Fox News, I just don't understand why she wanted to be one of the moderators for a 'debate' when all she did was poll internet questions about comments candidates made 10-20 years ago.

This was NO debate at all. A TRUE debate gives EVERY candidate 5-minutes to answer EVERY 'debate' question....NOT questions from the internet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You have to ask tough questions, and you have to question past behavior. Fox News has to establish some form of fairness to the country. Avoiding embarrassing questions is stupid, put it out there. People admire honesty, and probably won't hold it against you, unless it's something horrible or creepy

LOLOL, HARDLY!!!!



That s what conservatives do. They state what they feel, often rather bluntly, sometimes too bluntly. It would be one thing if she were like a typical liberal and just trying to trip him up, but the questions she asked were necessary.



Those questions needed to be asked, and they needed to be heard. Yes, the debate was a bit unfair to Trump, in all honesty, but Trump needed to answer for those things still. And now he needs to convince us that his answers are genuine, at least that s how it should be.

I see Megyn as an opportunist. She's trying to appear tough. She obviously had a bone to pick with Donald Trump, and the questions she asked were intended to provoke the response she got. I've never thought of Megyn Kelly as a conservative, and I don't know if she's a republican or not. So I can't tell you if she's a traitor, until she actually comes out and tells us what she is.

Why is everyone acting like Trump was the only candidate that was asked hard questions? Here is Ben Carson's first question from Megyn Kelly:



"You are a successful neurosurgeon, but you admit that you have had to study up on foreign policy, saying there’s a lot to learn.



Your critics say that your inexperience shows. You’ve suggested that the Baltic States are not a part of NATO, just months ago you were unfamiliar with the major political parties and government in Israel, and domestically, you thought Alan Greenspan had been treasury secretary instead of federal reserve chair.



Aren’t these basic mistakes, and don’t they raise legitimate questions about whether you are ready to be president?"



Now....if he was Trump, he would have been crying foul...and if he was a liberal, he would be playing the race card....but he's a grownup and didn't take offense....he's presidential. Trump is not.

traitor, no.. i don't know what her party affiliation is. the fact is most people i know feel what Trump is saying reflects what a lot of us feel. Frankly, while i appreciate Trump's bluntness, after so much of it, it loses it's power.



I want to hear about his policies and his plans for this country and not his personal beefs on reporters and candidates.



I don't think Megyn is a traitor to the conservative party. Some of the questions probably were to spark the ratings higher and those questions had to come from Roger Ailes.



I think that moderators Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer did a better job in the first debate.

In all honesty, the majority of the population of the USA is a traitor to Republican party. The party is and has been dissolving/dividing over the past 20 years. Why? How? They have been splitting and splitting in ideals, beliefs, political lines, etc... and are now minorities. Now the FLIP SIDE of politics. The democrats are the exact same but are at the time more unified (at the moment) and splitting slower in deep/true beliefs then the republicans. Both parties were born are from an archaic time... post 2000's children are seeing this.

What Megyn Kelly did was no different from what moderators at MSNBC and CNN have done to Republicans in the past. The biggest problem was that while she asked all of the other candidates policy questions, she opened an attacking line of questioning on Donald Trump over what is arguably, meaningless drivel. Megyn's actions have undoubtedly caused her and FoxNews viewers. I know she has lost me and my family.

Megyn Kelly has stated that she is an Independent. Her first questions to all candidates were tough. Trump was the one that had the temper tantrum. He is thin skinned. If he can't handle a question like that now, how will he handle it with other reporters and if he ends up debating the Democratic candidate? He is spending considerable time now volleying back at reporters and any candidates that make remarks about him. Then he has his Twitter wars.



I want to hear about his policies and his plans for this country and not his personal beefs on reporters and candidates.



I don't think Megyn is a traitor to the conservative party. Some of the questions probably were to spark the ratings higher and those questions had to come from Roger Ailes.



I think that moderators Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer did a better job in the first debate.

Trump is a misogynistic ***. Megyn Kelly did her job. What this primary has revealed to me is that 25% of my party is made up of bigots.



1. I grew up in San Antonio. 70% of the city is ethnically hispanic. I was often raped and sold drugs, but hell, i assume some people in that city were good people.... no, I'm just kidding was never raped or sold drugs. Apparently fleeing a drug ravaged battleground for the sake of your family makes you a 100% rapist and possibly a good person. Hearing bigots ***** about illegal immigration is like hearing a billionaire ***** about how bad a recession is pinching him. It's so easy to hate the people you've never lived among from your comfortable homes far away from the border.



2. John McCain was a war hero. Trump got an extremely painful bone spur, and can't remember what foot it was on. I'm sure.



3. Then Trump had the audacity to bring his glass ceiling misogyny into a presidential debate. It was disgusting.

She's not a traitor. She just asks tough questions that most Republicans prefer not to touch on because they're usually two-faced.



I will say that her question about Trump's conpanies' bankruptcy was unfair, solely because the other candidates were being asked about immigration and race, and she suddenly hopped onto the aforementioned question. I mean, seriously? She also asked an inflammatory question in the beginning of the debate that wasn't necessary, and Trump threw it right back at her, and rightfully so.



Again, she's not a traitor; she's tough. But she seems to enjoy taking little personal jabs at Trump and acting innocent right after.

Let's use some logic and common sense on this one, not just "kneejerk" emotional reactions.



Republican conservatives are going to want their favorite candidate to win against the Democratic nominee for president, right? They're not going to want to nominate a GOP candidate who can't win, or is unlikely to win. That would be self-destructive and foolish - right?



Trump is hugely popular with some Republicans, but he isn't necessarily loved by everybody. If he wins the GOP presidential nomination, he's going to have to campaign against some Democrat, whose supporters will be ready to attack Trump with every weapon they've got.



Therefore, there was nothing "anti-conservative" or "anti-Republican" about Megyn Kelly asking Trump some very tough, even apparently hostile questions about one of his possible political weak spots -- certain sexist and offensive things he's said about women.



If Trump can't answer those questions about his attitudes toward women well enough to win the votes of many Republican and independent women voters, he's likely to lose -- especially if the Democrats nominate Hillary. Therefore it may be good for the GOP and the conservative right that Megyn Kelly asked the questions of Trump in last week's debate.



If Trump can't answer such questions effectively when Kelly asks them, he's not suitable to be the GOP nominee, because he might not be able to campaign effectively against Clinton, either.



Conservatives need to know how Trump can/will handle this issue. So they probably should thank Megyn Kelly for asking him the question.



Meanwhile, if Trump's sexist attacks on Kelly win him a big enough following among conservative Republican men to offset any losses he's suffering with women, then maybe Kelly even did Trump himself a favor. Maybe even Trump himself should be thanking her. it's better for him to be handling the question now, before a friendly GOP audience, than having to answer it later, for the first time, in a televised debate with Hillary, before a tougher national audience.



-- Truth in advertising: I'm a democratic socialist who would never vote for Trump. I also don't like Fox News or Megyn Kelly. But I think the logic above makes sense, if you think about it.
