Overnight on Twitter, Trump said that Kelly “bombed” as a moderator.
“Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch,” Trump tweeted.
Trump added that Kelly, along with moderators Bret Baier and Chris Wallace, were not very professional.
“I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!” he stated.
Trump even retweeted a post that referred to Kelly as a “bimbo.”
The billionaire also lashed out at Luntz after getting a poor review from a focus group following the debate. Trump referred to Luntz as a “low-class snob” and a “joke.”
On “CBS This Morning” Friday, Luntz said he saw “total destruction of a candidacy” in Trump’s debate performance.

“....Donald, can’t handle the mean, nasty blonde...”
Actually, he handled her extremely well. To say she was biased/rude/unprofessional/not nice/whatever is merely to state the obvious truth.
Harry Truman told a reporter he would punch him in the nose and he still gets praise for saying it. All because the reporter insulted Truman’s daughter.
The Debate Format - the large number of candidates and the bias of the FoxNews moderator team did not allow most of the Debaters to shine. Some it due to just lack of time. Opportune moments came and went without Cruz being allowed to speak. Same for others including Rand Paul and others...
In the time Cruz was allowed to speak - he never stuttered, stammered or faltered... Cruz presented himself as Presidential and knowledgeable and passionate.
This type of debate is just a series of snapshots and the luck of the draw allows one or some to shine brighter than others... Having absolutely nothing to do with the candidates mind or mindset.
I do not even like Rand Paul that much but the circumstance of the debate as described above worked against him...
Jeb Bush on the other hand was given ample opportunities to shine but was dull as a tarnished hubcap...
I’m surprised Kelly didn’t tell the world how her Nana is going to vote for.
Is he going to call them names too and throw a tantrum?
If they are going to ask stupid questions, that have NOTHING to do with the state of the US, the economy, jobs, taxes, National defense, then i say call them names.
The media are mostly self serving idiots. Who are WAY out of touch with the average person.
The average person sits at home and calls Kelly and self centered bimbo. Why not Trump or any other candidate?
Especially, since most of the peopoe i talk to are MAD. Probably madder than i have ever seen before.
WE are being screwed with and these idiots are messing with our way of life!
It’s not time to play nice!
Its time we cut this crap. Quit allowing the media to repeatedly pick and choose who is the golden boy and who needs to be cut down to size.
Ask IMPORTANT questions.
Let the candidates DEBATE the REAL ISSUES!
Quit making our process a popularity contest and or picking a demi-god like the demon rats.
Also, Fox News sucks the big one.:)
oops.
Sorry don’t agree. Fox could have staged a meaningful debate last night and asked the important questions but from the git go it was gotcha tabloid journalism.
The moderators were totally unprofessional and wasted an opportunity to take the high road.
All three were more interested in finding a way to trash and ambush Donald Trump than asking questions that those of us in the audience wanted to know.
All last night’s debate did was create a backlash and in reality helped Trump more than it did to hurt him.
Your tagline supports your post.
Unfortunately the GOP also still has a lot of people who will vote they way they’re told instead of thinking for themselves.
Harry S. Truman
“I never did give them hell. I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell.”

Harry S. Truman
“give them Hell”!, Donald. The truth!
Yeah..remember them?
They're the folks Trump has been all cozy with for the past decade or have you forgotten?
Imagine Guilfoyle’s face with her hair wet and no make up. I’d want a paper bag. Kelly wouldn’t shut her mouth long enough to get started.
Of course he can...and is. He's DEFINING the people who just tried to define him as a sexist boob. And it's working. He's winning. Again.
From a debate standpoint, there was virtually no debate. The Fox crew were on some sort of mission, if not an outright ego trip. They hogged much of the airtime, by directing often long queries against carefully isolated two-somes; obviously with greater hostility towards some candidates than others.
From the standpoint of oratorical techniques--I am a lifelong student of oratorical techniques--Rubio & Huckabee used their time rather well; so to a slightly lesser degree did Cruz & Carson. But none of the candidates had sufficient opportunity to show their rhetorical abilities, because of the ego or mission trip of the "moderators."
Also, for reasons of the same constraints, none of the candidates had much of an opportunity to develop any points with meaningful clarity--None!
Now, my personal bias from the start was in favor of Cruz and Trump, so I certainly appreciate Donald's ire at the way he was handled. But he needs to master two arts, which have served successful candidates throughout American history. He needs to know when to use ire as an effective weapon & when to hold back an open display and effectively understate his displeasure with the choice of words that show he also has grace. (This can often be a very effective way to actually transfer the ire that you feel to a listener or supporter, who will feel the anger that you are suppressing by the understatement. Hollywood uses this concept endlessly to create emotional impact in movie dramas.)
Secondly, Donald needs to get a bit of Celtic lilt into his remarks, coupled with a Reaganesque smile. Again, this is a technique for stroking emotions. It is important, because ultimately most politics is driven by emotion.
Donald is completely right that there is no time to be "politically correct"; but for the same reason, it is essential to be as effective in reaching a multi-faceted, mnulti-emotion driven, audience, as possible.
And yet she allows herself to be employed by a man who mandates she dress in tight dresses and heels. Never nice slacks for any of the women. Hmmmm....
There won’t be enough conservatives in the senate in my lifetime to confirm Cruz to the SC.
It was reported this week that Jeb called Trump a slew of bad names.
Is A*hole really better than fat pig?
“The moderators were totally unprofessional and wasted an opportunity... “
Not to mention they wasted our time. Fox News should change its name to Bimbo News.

Nope, I haven’t forgotten. I’ve said for years that Trump is a useful idiot.
Sometime for the Dems; sometimes for the Repubs.
Right now he’s blathering and showboating on stuff conservatives want to hear. So leave him alone. Let him have his 15 minutes. But just know this...
Trump cannot be trusted.
In the pic is that her pu...posse behind her?
