Maybe someone who just called an outspoken female an "attack bitch" doesn't have the most nuanced views on sexism.
Well you're making bizarre generalizations about Kelly, as if she did something wrong.
Fox dont have any proper journalists. They are simply following orders.
Trump will eventually go too far..he is thin skinned. But Fox's obvious agenda can be seen by all. Think it will come back to bite them.

It says a lot about the GOP mentality when a woman challenges Trump's misogynist idiocy on Twitter and gets attacked as being unfair.
I'm not sure yet if my vote goes to Bush, Cruz or Rubio. Bush has a problem with his last name and then I have Cruz which needs to fake his birthplace or we have a Canadian candidate and Rubio which I think I will vote for him. As for Trump or he goes away or he will damage the Republicans if he goes as an independent then we have another Ross Perot.
Here is Kelly's question:
"You've called women you don't like 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' and 'disgusting animals.' Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women's looks, and you once told a candidate on Celebrity Apprentice that it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of someone we should elect as president? And how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who is likely to be the nominee, that you are part of the war on women?"
Hardly anything wrong with that - he's just a old narcissist bully who can dish it out without being able to take it.

Seems fairly restrained if anything. Although his poll numbers will probably go up because of it.
This may be the trump meltdown...

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump told CNN's Don Lemon on Friday night. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

It probably will be as it will expose him as a complete tosser that even those who currently support him won't be able to accept. Wouldn't be surprised if his poll numbers tumble after this.
But only a "deviant" would think he meant anywhere else but her nose.
did he not qualify and say he meant nose?
He will turn this round and say 'dirty minds'...
still.. he is such a loose cannon.

He really hates Kelly.
Wonder whether he has binders full of women.
C'mon Trump do the honourable thing...
Tell her to show us all her whatever and if there is no blood there you will say sorry

Ive no love for Faux News so watching them have a barney with Forrest Trump is win win
He's definitely running as an independent.What a time to be alive!
Can you imagine him meeting with any female world leaders?
when is the Democratic debate?
Should be a lot more substance.

There's everything wrong with it. The journalists' function in the debate is to elicit information about the candidates' views and positions - not to offer their own. Their role is to question the candidates - not to judge them.
Kelly's contribution was a prejudicial characterization of Trump thinly disguised as a question. Her purpose was not to invite him to explain his attitude to women, but to damage Trump by using out of context quotation to stigmatize him as a woman-hater.
I have to admit I had an actual laugh out loud moment when he got bollocked for all those sexist comments against women and he simply said, "I was talking about Rosie O´Donnell." Ha ha. He looked like a little kid.
It was also great when he mentioned that all the money he donated to politicians from both sides was simply to get things in return.

he was the most honest of all those up there.
First, you're presupposing that the journalists role in the questioning is something that it isn't. They are supposed to ask questions that are of general interest to the voting public. In this case, 53 percent of voters are women and may be interested in knowing whether or not Trump is a sexist based on the public record of things he has said in the past. Turns out from his subsequent post-debate reaction, the question was both relevant and essential. Second, there was nothing that she said that was out of context. It was completely relevant to the extent that it would almost certainly be asked if he faced Hillary Clinton in the general election.
It really showed Fox´s political power within the Republican and American political arena, getting the first debate, pretty much choosing who got to sit at the adult´s table, and to direct the debate. Obviously great ratings which to them and Ruppie and is what it´s all about..
Roger Stone, Trumps main advisor apparently resigned (or was sacked) today. Things are beginning to unravel, despite the fact he's still leading in the polls.
This statement and the one he made about his bankruptcies pretty much ended whatever slim chance he had as a viable candidate for any serious Republican voter. Which Trump could care less about as this whole thing was a pisstake/publicity stunt for him anyways. 50/50 chance that he lasts until the LA debate next month.
It is a sad and extremely confusing state of affairs when you start to like Donald Trump. This may be the end of me.
Long may it continue, although sadly it won't.
I do think Fiorina has launched herself into the small group of legitimate contenders.

Black lives matter protestors interrupted Bernie. What are odds that shillary paid those people to interrupt Bernie?
Probably 0.01 . Those two women were just deranged nutters.
I know. I don't think Hillary would do that(I mean it doesn't even make sense) How's Bernie hype in CA?
He has little hope anywhere imo. Too unvarnished and unsupported by the establishment, who have basically anointed Hillary as the only option. Best case for progressives is if he presses her into adopting more progressive issues into her platform. Could get interesting if Biden decides to run, but I doubt he has enough support to do much damage.
Even if she runs on a progressive platform she'll basically be a DINO president.
Well she certainly won't be a Republican, so she would have to be an establishment Democrat. The likes of Warren/Sanders and others being in the progressive wing.
