Trump steps up attacks with 'bimbo' tweet before Fox News debate
Reuters ^ | 1/27 | Reuters

U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday escalated a fight with Fox News, using the word "bimbo" in a tweet about anchor woman Megyn Kelly after he dramatically pulled out of a debate only days before the first votes of the 2016 campaign are cast.

Trump on Tuesday withdrew from the televised encounter, scheduled for Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa, irritated at host Fox for allowing Kelly to moderate after her questioning had angered him in a debate last year.

Nah, I’ll continue to support Ted Cruz, the only consistent conservative in this race. You can continue to play with Donald’s balls.

You are the one supporting the candidate with the most extreme of leftist statements. Other than Sanders, no candidate besides Trump has advocated outright socialism (nationalizing banks and healthcare).

The hammer and sickle is on your side, comrade.

Does he make “you feel” strong and significant?

Your choice of words indicates that Trumps roleplaying everything every male wishes he could be but isn’t.....”Bare knuckled street fighter”....”Brass Balls”...”Bully”....(celebrity, wealth and woman).

However I’m voting for a President...not a side show to give me tiggles up my leg.

So. Only billionaires are capable of being president?
I don’t buy that argument.

The reason we see this so differently is that you are concerned with who is asking the questions, but I am more interested in how the candidates answer the questions. No matter how tough or aggravating those questions are.

The Presidency is a job full of aggravation, but a President must rise above it.

It doesn’t matter whether moderators are friend or foe or somewhere in between. A President is going to face friend, foe, and those in between. He has to be able to respond appropriately to all of them, not run away or have a tantrum when dealing with difficulty.

And that’s how I see the current situation. If a candidate can’t handle minor adversity during the campaign, I question whether he can handle the job if elected.

Again, it’s not about the questioners, but rather about the candidates.

a stupid person knowingly walks into an ambush.. period

Trump has seen his number surge after EVERY debate so evidently it was more important to him to make a stand against unfair debate moderators than his poll numbers which showed guts

,, The RNC did just that last week against NBC News when they told them to go pound sand and they would not be moderating any more Republican debates because of their unfair moderating tactics including unfair non policy questions to Ted Cruz and Ronald Reagan withdrew from the last debate before Iowa in 1980

we have had enough debates with over 15 hours of asking the same questions over and over for months now.. we know where they stand, Trump is the only person who made the debates watchable and for people to get enthusiastic about the campaign,, he has now made another stand against the media.. 4 days to go...Time to vote

What a ruse! Free publicity you can’t buy in the waning hours of Iowa. The man’s a media genius.

Y’all make a lot of assumptions. Quite frankly, Cruz is my choice for VP to take over when Trump retires after 4 years.

“I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct,” he wrote on Twitter. “Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!”

Someone pull out those pictures of Megyn in her underwear that she likes so much.

My Mom had a name for that.... Bimbo wasn’t it....

I'm a street kid. In my world he's not playing dirty. So, tell me what is so dirty about him not putting up with FNC/National Review/MK Ambush Debate week?

Nah, you don't negotiate with a nutcase. There is more to him but it is hard to see. Banks would ignore him and confiscate his real estate. Hey, I'm talking about kicking his arse in the business back rooms NOT physically. Sheesh!

Trump supports Obamacare/single payer health care.

You need to change up your list.

Well if you are a street kid then you should know there’s more dirt flying from hand to hand on the side street then there is in view of the fight.
