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]
Kelly’s pointed remarks about The Donald’s portrayal of women turned any pretense of a presidential debate into reality TV – and Trump responded in kind.
It didn’t 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 wasn’t keen on Trump, was also skewered by the real estate mogul.

There will be debates “moderated” by leftists.
***
Your verb tense is incorrect here, as you said “will be” about “debates” that have already occurred. I saw more than one leftist moderating the two FOX debates last night.
So your outed for peddling the DC elite crap about Trump and you get nasty and hateful.
I guess your establishment spin doesn’t fly here .
Amen!
Bingo!
I can never hear the phrase “Fair and Balanced” again without seeing how Unfair and unbalanced Fox is. I hope Kelly tanks. I see Trump has almost doubled his support.
Exactly.
Good one!
Well said! This woman agrees with you.
You’re an idiot who doesn’t know how to spell you’re.
I’ve been supportive of Trump since he announced. I’m just not a sycophant. I know, it’s a big word, look it up.
I’m not referring to the Democrats. I’m referring to the Republicans.
Trump is whining, and whining, and whining.
For a business man, he sure has thin skin.
We know, and he knew, that Fox was out to get him. Why be upset now?
I don’t think so. Doesn’t mean I don’t still like Trump, but he should have had a better answer ready. Just my opinion. Like I said, the polls in the next few days will tell whether it hurt him.
What prof woman?
Kelly is a lib Manhattan hack who asked him zero policy questions and non stop personal attack questions that belong on E channel not a debate.
She is Lib media whore who whose hatred of trump is well documented.
Half the people voting will be women. Calling them bimbos or whores isn’t going to get what you want which I assume is Trump in the WH.
Trump needs to do his homework and tone it down with the insults. MSM bashing isn’t going to get it done. He’s our best hope to disrupt the cartel but there has to be some substance. Eventually people will ask where’s the beef?
I certainly am not upset about Trump’s performance. As for the whining part, well, there are a few of the others out there that are doing it, or having their underlings out there doing it for them.
This hasn’t changed my thoughts on him as a Jeb destroyer. To the extent that he can still do that, all the better.
As for Fox and the moderators, I’m “upset” at them because Fox is definitely in the tank for the establishment GOP. Been that way for quite a while. They go after the biggest threat to the GOPe figurehead - Jeb Bush. That happens to be Trump right now, and we’ll see how that shakes out in the coming days and weeks.
In the end, the one thing I’ll thank Trump for is forcing the word “illegal” back into the mainstream Republican and Fox News lexicon. Had it not been for him, you’d see that word disappear.
Who is luntz anyway? Does anyone actually think what some random stranger says changes anyone’s mind?
I feel that Trump was the first place winner of last night’s debate because he got the most air time and didn’t let team FOX take him out. But, there’s a part of me that feels like it was a Pyrrhic victory for the Donald, the bomb throwing technique isn’t always going to win debates and he’s not going to be getting as much air time as he did in the first debate after we see a couple of dropouts. Going forward there are candidates such as Cruz, and even Ben Carson who have a better debate style, no past liberal record and specific solutions that can be used effectively in a campaign.
Trump should have asked her about posing nude a few years ago.
Asking her was she so desparate for money she had to take off her clothes.
Foxnews should be ashamed of themselves for their performance Thursday night. Megyn Kelly lost lots of viewers, her attitude was despicable, Chris Wallace was not much better I'm done watching him on Sundays and I done watching the KellyFile.
Trump has said repeatedly that if he is treated fairly by the GOP he will not run third party. He was not treated fairly Thursday night. The outrage on facebook and twitter is over an blantly obvious all out attack on Trump. How is that fair? Nothing but one gotya question after another.
For course Trump is not going to pledge to support the nominee no matter what. He does not know who the nominee is going to be. Very few of us here will support the nominee if the nominee is another progressive with a R label. The entire debate was an ambush and Trump was the target.
The RNC had better make a statement dissociating itself from is foxnews hatchet job. BOR should be interesting tonight.
O'Blowhard will say Megan Kelly is the best journalist on TV since Edward R. Murrow.
Megan is a creation of O'Blowhard, and he will not criticize his own creation.
Let's see the ratings for the Kelly File before tonight and for tonight.
