Trump dumped from Red State event over Kelly remarks

“Blood coming out of her wherever”.

“I just don’t think it’s very professional”, Trump said.

RedState is hosting an influential conservative event this weekend in Atlanta, attended by nine of the 17 candidates for the Republican primaries leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

The real estate mogul had been scheduled to appear at a special tailgate at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta at the close of RedState Gathering on Saturday night.

Saturday’s flurry of statements criticizing Trump had a sense of déjà vu.

“You can see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, he continued. This is a man who is so confident of his abilities that during the debate he said things which would have destroyed any other candidate.

But Donald Trump might have finally jumped the shark with his recent comments about Fox News’s Megyn Kelly.

In the debate, this happened when Kelly directly pointed out that former Fox News darling Donald Trump is sexist. He’s been a very blunt talker. As Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida told NBC’s Chuck Todd in a “Meet the Press” interview that will air Sunday: “If I comment on everything he said, my whole campaign will be consumed by it”.

I think there is no way to otherwise interpret Mr. Trump’s comment.

I think that is true. The blunt style that propelled Trump to the top of the polls still resonates among conservatives looking for a plain-speaking fighter. “I don’t respect her as a journalist”.

Nance was less kind to Trump, who “clearly has a woman problem”.

From the stage on Saturday afternoon, Erickson asked Bush about the decision. The good news is that Kelly is a mother of toddlers and knows how to deal with petulance and tantrums. “Friend Donald has to learn this is public life”.

“(The comments) were just totally reprehensible”, Susan Wasielewski said. “I’ll take your side on that bet”.

“If you haven’t heard”, the radio host and blogger Erick Erickson told his guests, “I disinvited Donald Trump“. “No matter what he says, they’ll defend him“. “The GOP is really afraid of him and they are going to do anything to discredit him”. Mackowiak added it also represents a missed opportunity for Trump to speak to conservative activists and reporters who had gathered for the event. “I don’t know if there’s conflict out there”.

“Mr. Trump: There. Is”.

Lewandowski said he did not believe there was any conflict between Trump and Kelly or her network, and that he was not aware of any plans to reach out to Kelly or Fox News chief Roger Ailes. “Stand with @MegynKelly”.

Both Twitter and Facebook said the most talked-about moment online came between New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and U.S. Senator Rand Paul.

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham of South Carolina, who is near the bottom of the GOP field and has little to lose, has another view of all this.

On Friday, Trump questioned whether he actually used those insults.

And though this is Trump’s first presidential debate, he should feel like he is more in his element than the other candidates or the moderators. That is a standard that I try to follow. “That’s what the American people care about”.

On Friday evening, Trump referred to Kelly as “overrated” and a “lightweight” in the interview with Lemon and said, “She gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions”. “It just was wrong”.

Trump’s campaign responded: “This is just another example of weakness through being politically correct”. “We have a tremendously successful campaign and Roger wanted to use the campaign for his own personal publicity”.

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who opened Saturday’s session of the RedState Gathering, found himself pulled into the Trump frenzy. His next public appearance will be in Michigan on Tuesday.
