Trump Lashes Out at Debate Moderators, Pollster
Kelly asked Trump Thursday night about his treatment of women, citing comments that he allegedly made about various women being “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”
Trump failed to disappoint fans and critics alike, immediately grabbing attention from the evening’s start when he singled himself out as the only candidate to refuse ruling out a third-party run.
As we boldly predicted in our Florida GOP Debate Drinking Game, Trump went on to declare himself the victor of the debate and retweeted his horde of supporters who concurred with this opinion. Their Twitter battles date back to 2011 when Trump commented on her engagement to partner Michelle Rounds.
Trump’s response focused on how people worry too much about political correctness and how if Kelly didn’t like it, he was “sorry”. On his remarks about Mexico sending criminals to the U.S., he said, “If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration”.
The debate left front-runner Trump singed by the aggressive questioning of Fox’s moderator team of Bret Baier, Megyn Kelly and Chris Wallace.
“When it comes to the issue of gay marriage, I’m for traditional marriage, but you know, I’ve got friends that don’t practice that, and you know, God bless them”, Kasich said on “CBS This Morning”. “I just think it’s inappropriate to call people names”.
Wallace asked Trump, “What evidence do you have, specific evidence, that the Mexican government is sending criminals across the border?”
“I have said for some time that no one who claims to represent our party should ever be judgmental in tone, vitriolic or angry”, Fiorina told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin on Friday. Before Kelly could finish her question, Trump raised his finger, smirked and responded “only Rosie O’Donnell”.
“They want to see it, and we all do”.
The debate, hosted by Fox News, not only set a new record for a Republican primary debate, but had almost three times as many viewers as the last record holder.
Bush, among the rivals scrambling for notice in a campaign dominated at the moment by Donald Trump, said, “I don’t view debating as a question of winning and losing”.
