Complete Headline: Donald Trump fires angry tweets at Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly, analyst Frank Luntz at 3 a.m.
Someone needs a Twitter time out.
Donald Trump was still on the offensive in every sense of the word, hours after the GOP debate ended.
First he elbowed his way through the crowded field of Republican presidential hopefuls on stage in Cleveland. Then he lambasted Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly and analyst Frank Luntz, saving his most pointed attacks of the night for the media personalities.
[Snip]
Kellys pointed remarks about The Donalds portrayal of women turned any pretense of a presidential debate into reality TV and Trump responded in kind.
It didnt stop on stage.
Empowered by several post-debate polls which showed he won by a wide margin, Trump shared comments from several fans on his Twitter account, including one that called Kelly a bimbo.
.@FrankLuntz is a low class slob who came to my office looking for consulting work and I had zero interest. Now he picks anti-Trump panels! Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 7, 2015
Luntz, who led a Fox focus group breakdown of the debate that wasnt keen on Trump, was also skewered by the real estate mogul.

Megyn is a bimbo ... Luntz is a low class slob ... and Rosie O'Donnell is, well, you know ...
So. What’s all the fuss about?
Actually the panel was pro-Trump going in and he turned them off by being unprepared for the first question, which he was warned was coming. Don’t shoot the messenger, Donald.
Take that Megyn Kelly. Hell hath no fury like a Trump scorned, lol. The worm turns.
Your thoughts are so wrong. The questions lobbed at him had nothing to do with what he wants to do as president. He was warned? This definitely tells you - or should- that they had an agenda to take him out, rather than moderate a professional debate. So, yeah, shoot the messenger.
“Actually the panel was pro-Trump going in and he turned them off by being unprepared for the first question, which he was warned was coming.”
You’ve got to be kidding. You were watching some other debate than the rest of us. I hear the mental wards aren’t full at this time of year. You might want to check yourself in.
There will be debates “moderated” by leftists....our candidates need to be vetted properly before they get the truly unfair treatment from the left.
Megun Kelly’s questions to Trump were coming sooner or later. She did him a favor.
The moderators have every right to grill the candidates on the issues and their positions. This crap from MK wasn’t that - it was pure “gotcha” and personal. It had no place in the debate. She did herself NO favors, is more like it.
I haven’t seen the debates yet, I hope to find them on Youtube and watch them over the course of a week. However, if Megyn’s question was on politics or policy, then it was a fair question regardless of what it was.
They weren’t./
It backfired on the Fox low lifes. They could have asked Trump tough but relevant questions like how do you plan to deport and re-import decent illegals as he had mentioned or specifics about just how he would bring back jobs from China? Shame on Fox and especially MK for the low class petty crap.
Absolutely. This no talent, emaciated run way model with a law degree insulted the viewerxs with her classless attacks. This entire panel was tossing easy questions at that horse’s ass Bush while ignoring or assassinating the character of the other participants, particularly Trump. If Trump runs as an independent, he gets my vote. At this point I hate Fox and Bush and Murdock more than any DemocRat.
Afterwards, she stated that “women” did not like this or that, like she has the pulse of all women’s thoughts, or she is the head of NOW. She is a feminist who can’t hide it, and doesn’t even try.
He shouldn’t have attacker her. He had a great answer and should have left it like that. He could have taken the Arnold Schwarzenegger defense and simply said that any past comments were not a reflection of him and that he wasn’t expecting to enter politics when he said them.
Nice.
What question in a similar category could they possibly ask of any other candidate?
They covered Bush’s difficulty answering the Iraq war question, his view on common core, his dynastic ties, his immigration positions...not sure what other obvious line of attack there is on Jeb.
You can’t blame them for Trump being an easy target with a 30-year-history of controversy and inconsistency.
Well, the comparison to Arnold is apt, although Trump has even less of a history of being a conservative Republican. I certainly wouldn’t expect Trump to govern any more conservatively than Arnold did.
Trump regaining control of the headlines after a disastrous performance.
Savage asked Trump if he would put tariffs on China and he basically just replied, I hope I don’t have to do that. All Trump seems to keep going back to is this vague statement that he would get “better deals” on trade than we currently have.
I can’t imagine the massive inflation that would happen if suddenly all imports from China were taxed. It would be so economically destructive that whoever’s president then would get thrown out of office.
Trump himself said his Macy’s clothing was made in China but he “didn’t like that.” Trump doesn’t really have any problems with trading with China, but it’s a nice thing to say on the campaign trail.
