You don't think it could have gone much better for her?
Given the response and her networks lame support, I'm amending. Within the context of getting what she had to expect, if not to the degree, yes. Beyond that, Kelly is looking like the more in controll, mature and rational of the two. Whatever calculation went into raising the flag on Donald's tendency to say stupid things in public is overwhelmed at this point by the stupidity of many who appear to be taking his side in the dust up...just remarkable to me.
Do you realize how condescending and patronizing that sounds?
I realize how it sounds to you. I also realize it isn't either, has nothing to do with either her sex or politics, where I'm concerned, so how it sounds to you isn't something I can control. What I mean by it and how I approach answering you is. I didn't like the question. I thought it was a calculated shot meant to do precisely what it did. That said, both his responses and the support they've engendered are bafflingly stupid to my mind.
What about his talking about "the blood coming out of her wherever?"
Hadn't heard that when I made my initial comments. I'm mostly out of the news cycle these days running about tying up educational loose ends.
Horrifically wrong headed. The more he makes comments like that the more unreasonable he looks and the better she should look to anyone with a working noggin. That he isn't already falling in the polls, that he's getting so much groundswell on the point is disturbing and surprising to me.
Do you know that when you search for that phrase, there are pages of search results with her name on it, and have you considered that she'll be forever associated with it? And he did that to her. The guy who wants to be president.
He's a jacka...nape. But forever associated? I don't think most people could even list the candidates at this juncture from the last election cycle.
Have you considered how he's encouraged and emboldened sexists everywhere to say the most vile and despicable things to and about her, using every four-letter name and epithet aimed at women in the book?
I didn't think that would be the response. I suppose I gave the rank and file too much credit. Seems like, though we'll see how it shakes out over the course of things. Maybe it's a good thing in another way, demonstrates to the moderate center he would need as a candidate how unacceptable he is as that thing, in case some were actually confusing him with the old Ross movement.
No matter how many closet misogynists come out of the closet to rally I'd say in the long run this is a nail in Trump's coffin.
That you can go to a right-wing website right now and the comments being made about her are enough to make your skin crawl, and he's loving every minute of it? And so is his sycophant THall, who was crowing that Megyn Kelly was being "crucified" on Twitter.
I only read THall if he funnies aren't included in the paper and I'm frankly surprised by how much of the conservative rank is siding with the buffoon over Kelly. I thought and I'd supposed she'd thought that his answer would expose one of his shortcomings as a candidate to a generally reasonable electorate...the response I'm seeing since we began talking about it is both shocking and disappointing to me. I've given too much credit where credit doesn't appear to have been due.
I would expect and hope that any woman who's endured sexism or sexual intimidation, harassment, or worse in the workplace is paying very careful attention.
Then it could and hopefully will work to a greater good, but given Trump's past comments don't believe that Kelly wasn't prepared for him to put his foot in his mouth.
And her job was to help the rest of us know who and what Trump is and isn't, and in that she succeeded.
Okay. I think his comments on Mexicans already gave us an insight into his tendencies and his comments about Rosie are already the stuff of internet fodder.
I'm not crazy about some aspects of the debate, including the fact that the moderators did more talking than the debaters, but as a woman and as a voter, I'm not at all sorry that she asked the question.
Wasn't crazy about the moderator approach in general.
I'm more than a little surprised that you'd say that. I expect more from the candidate.
It's almost a stereotype at this point, the way politicians are asked a question and then launch into whatever talking points they've prepared, related or not. I don't expect them to do much more than stump.
One of those candidates, from one of those parties, will hold the highest office in the land.
Do you realize how condescending that sounds? Well, if I decided to take it that way, anyway...
