Trump Defiant on CNN: I’m 'More Beloved’ Than Megyn Kelly Is

[big_dog]

Source: Mediaite.com

Donald Trump was on form on CNN this morning, bragging to Jake Tapper and continuing to rip Megyn Kelly, Erick Erickson, and Jeb Bush.

Trump told Tapper only a “sick” person would assume that when he said Megyn Kelly was bleeding from her “wherever,” he was talking about… well, you know. He did keep insisting that “she had great anger when she was questioning me.”

When Tapper pressed him, Trump asked, “Do you think I’d make a stupid statement like that?”

Tapper pointed out that it’s not really liberals taking him out of context, so much as conservatives trashing him and some seeing this as a dealbreaker. Furthermore, Tapper asked Trump why he would attack Kelly at all when she’s so “beloved” by conservatives.
Trump’s answer: “On social media, I’m the one that’s beloved.”

1. Well, who isn't? n/t

[big_dog]

2. depends how you define 'beloved' when it comes to the prime faux news demographic of 25-54 males

[raven mad]

3. Males, maybe........... I think she's very slutty looking, which is not to say anything against her

just against her politics.

[Fred Sanders]

5. One look - and a law degree - and Ailes The Hut was hooked! Crazyman Beck needed replacing, pronto!

Kelly is no victim, she is the monster's right limb.

[Archae]

7. Why do they *HAVE* to wear those shoes?

Spike ultra-high heels never did strike me as "sexy."

[candelista]

10. They wear them just to irritate you.

No other reason.

[onehandle]

25. Walter Cronkite wore it better. nt

[7962]

30. Lets just say Trump doesnt impress me......

[truthisfreedom]

31. It looks like she's struggling with excess gas.

[EL34x4]

37. To this demographic, Donald Trump is the man they want to be.

Megyn Kelly is the girl in high school they never had a chance with.

I predict Trump's poll numbers go up.

[SummerSnow]

51. pin up girl for Faux news.shameful. And she's a serious journalist?

[Reter]

58. Not for nothing, she looks utterly amazing for her age

She's 44 1/2 with three kids.

[zazen]

4. Trump filter: female shows no deference or sexual interest = she has "great anger"

[smirkymonkey]

38. Bingo!

[gwheezie]

6. I listened to the interview

The Donald sounded more unhinged than usual. I encourage him to keep calling into cable news and tweeting

[mainstreetonce]

9. He was asked

why he criticizes people on their looks.
He said they can't insult me on looks "I'm too good looking"

It really sounds like mental illness.

[tabasco]

36. I think it's just a severe case of assholery.

I'm just wondering how this train wreck is going to end.

[smirkymonkey]

39. Did he really say that?

If so, he is completely delusional.

Also, I was just thinking, can you imagine his wife as first lady?

[mainstreetonce]

42. Yes ,he was on the phone

With
Chuck Todd this morning and he said that.

[smirkymonkey]

45. Wow!

I just can't believe someone as mentally ill as Trump is not only running, he's at the head of the pack!

[Sunlei]

8. Republican RW fox seems pretty angry that Donald Trump is clearly the winner.

Yet fox loved it when their RW republican radio host, SLUT< SLUT< SLUT, slut shamed woman for weeks on end.

[randr]

11. By media/social network standards he may seem to be the winner

Just like white bread wins the sales contest in the super market line.
We are engaged in a Presidential election process and by all standards of acceptance Trump was the clear LOSER.
He is the most unqualified person to ever run for any public office. He will not get the Republican nomination, although it was a slim possibility before this debate. He may run as a 3rd party candidate and will in all likelihood try to claim his financial loses as a tax deduction.
He is like the trash in the alley, no matter how many times you remove it, it always seems to build back up.

[big_dog]

16. David Brooks was making the point- there is 20-30% of the wingnut electorate that will support Trump

come hell or high water--during the panel discussion on meet the press . the media is feeding this base for ratings and keeping Trump in the game...even after he implodes these George Wallace types are more than useful idiots switching to Cruz and doing more damage to the GOP on wedge issues with independents during the debates on planned parenthood, immigration civil rights etc.

[Sunlei]

17. 'fox, the arm of the republican party' isn't happy with Donald Trump. They'll have to pay him for

interviews now or just have interviews with losers.

[big_dog]

21. my guess is the 20% of Trump supporters will go to Cruz once he says something totally undefendable

but when is that going to happen? are the profits too big with 25 million debate viewers for CNN to take Trump out of the picture...

[dem in texas]

23. You have it backwards

the republic party is an arm of Fox News.

[big_dog]

24. there were rumors that murdoch was softening on trump, that is where this is gonna end

Last edited Sun Aug 9, 2015, 03:10 PM - Edit history (1)

Murdoch family, record ratings and profits ($$$) will carry the day over Ailes and GOP establishment for now as a general rule. Trump stays and says anything he wants for now...the elections are still a long LONG time away

[Gothmog]

12. For Trump, everything is about him

[William Seger]

15. ... and for some weird reason, "journalists" are calling it "populism" (n/t)

[Paladin]

13. Trump reminds me more of Benito Mussolini, every day.

Except Mussolini had better hair.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. The Donald only thinks he's beloved

The truth is that he has a personality that only a mother could love, and she would have to be bribed.

However, compared to the other GOP presidential candidates, he looks like a powerful, assertive and smart. Against any other group of people, he looks like an asshole.

The Donald amuses us on the left because he brings the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of the Republican Party into high relief. He calls this gang of racists, misogynists and corporate supremacists "losers" while in the next breath he either flaunts his personal wealth as evidence of his awesomeness or gives a sample of racism or misogyny that would embarrass Archie Bunker.

His conspiracy theory about the Mexican government "sending" the dregs of Mexican society across the border is, of course, complete nonsense and appeals mostly to the dregs of the American political culture such as rank-and-file Tea Partiers. The rest of the candidates can't complain about it, since they've made a career cultivating and pandering to Joe the Plumber.

[bbgrunt]

47. nicely said.

[Botany]

18. “Do you think I’d make a stupid statement like that?”

In a word, yes.

Trump on Black bankers

“Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day,” Trump said, according to an associate. Trump told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview that the comments were “probably true.”

[cindyperry]

19. this is what happens

when you have yes men around you he does not have a clue. though he claims to have all this money(which I doubt only on paper) that would presuppose that he got it because of a vast intelligence or incredible luck. he is profoundly stupid

[Hekate]

61. Trump got his money from his daddy, but thinks he "earned" every buck himself. nt

[lovuian]

20. Trump was front runner and he is open season

but he isn't going down quietly

Jeb is the real candidate wanted by Fox .....Trump is in the way

Everything was planned what wasn't expected was Trumps ratings to go up

The Republicans are in destruct mode

[barbtries]

22. is he beloved? at all?

or is it more like a wreck you can't tear your eyes from? it is so hard for me to believe that anyone "loves" this buffoon or seriously believes he'd be a good president.

he's such an asshole.

[big_dog]

29. the media loves him, a willing interview anytime anywhere by cell phone

24 million viewers for the most watched cable news program ever doesn't lie. CNN is next on Sept 16 so they aren't going to be throwing hardballs either

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

26. Trump and Kelly are both wretched despicable vile hate-filled freaks

There's not an ounce of decency between them and absolutely nothing worth loving.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

41. Megyn Kelly has engaged in racist hate-speech her entire career

Here's just a little dose:

[Shrike47]

27. Beloved? Neither one of them is beloved by anyone. Neither has charisma.

That's like a cockroach climbing to be more beloved than a wasp.

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

28. !!! Somehow I suspected Trump would say that !

To know me is to love me
Don't let them plant another bush in the white house
Donald Trump 2015



He's gonna float a concept about real change.

[big_dog]

32. CNN is already priming the pump for the next battle Fiorina vs Trump

look for ICarly to rise in the polls like boxing --a natural showdown http://www.cbsnews.com/news/carly-fiorina-women-horrified-donald-trump-megyn-kelly-comments/

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

43. Yes, when you read comments ,media mouths ,it becomes clear (they are unprepared to deal with

what is referred to as unconventional methods. Trump took a pot shot at that when he somewhat sarcastically said
at the Trump show- debate -I'm just playing by the rules- That is the rule of thumb of the long standing conventional method that evolved around tv and radio with older ways retained to the order. And of course trickery runs rampant.

Unconventional is on the outside of the main stay and since there is no excepted technological change in the process ,meaning
a modernized new way infused into the process -example military industrial complex, conventional weapons -non nuke -and nukes the new or modern method. So where am I going with this ?

Simples-, there is no other method in this game only the grand old conventional method.
And so unconventional as it is ='s that of being an outsider .

The GOP is kind of screwed with this and so is the media .
Another Ronnie or another Bush - Walker-Ronnie ,Christie a bush fellow Texas tea and hoopdy doo.Same in same out.
But that is what the conventional method dictates.

Christie talked about what he can do and what he can't do -within his power, than he went on to say he is not a dictator.

Well no of course not, he is a servant of those that dictate. Clearly he is no servant of the people.
In fact on that note he washed out.

He like a drug addict, they make good liars.

What are they gonna do with Brian guy ? !!!!

[big_dog]

44. Carly looked pretty smooth at the 5pm happy hour debate, Trump will attack her for layoffs at HP

and it may come down to buisness background which is his turf

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

48. I haven't given Carly much thought if any.

I mean the California voters sent her the message. Just Go AWAY.
But I can see where yer going with it ,I mean what choice does she have ? Clearly with all that money she has there must be some worth to her politics ,to her of a type it just must stand to reason.!

The people of California gave her the shove and don't you know we are looking at it !
And aren't looks deceiving !

Indeed though the media has to make some type of projection to sell news and at least try to maintain some degree of revelvence.


This trump card is new to them and it is unvarnished and unharnessed.

And Jeb Bush, well he feels he's being cheated on ,on the count of he believes it's his turn.

Safe be it to say , what lies-!- ahead will be out of the ordinary ! Not in it but way out -far out -inside out and up side down,side ways and any old way. ! Or unconventional.

We must of course stay tuned !

[SummerSnow]

52. Oh he will so attack her

[truthisfreedom]

33. Another poster put it best: trump is running for president

Of the United States of Trump.

[Maeve]

34. translation--he loves himself more than any billion people could love her eom

[Gigabear]

35. He really is a maniac

I can't believe that there are people in this country who support this fool.

40. 'Kings of Comedy' star DL Hughley broke it down best...

D.L. Hughley breaks down Donald Trump’s racist appeal: “If he said ‘n****r,’ he’d be elected tomorrow” http://www.rawstory.com/2015/08/d-l-hughley-donald-trump-at-a-presidential-debate-is-like-flavor-flav-winning-a-spelling-bee/

[bucolic_frolic]

46. What is Trump Doing?

He's in a war with Fox ... is he a Patriot? He's no dummy. Or is he just New York brash?

Reports are he spoke with Bill Clinton. Is Bill triangulating?

Is Trump a Koch tool to unsettle people from their ideologies
and corner Hillary in the middle? Seriously. Trump has said he's caring and supports
women's issues. I'm the Pied Piper.


What the heck is going on, and do liberals know and are they defending their turf
and are they planning ahead?

THIS FUDGING OF IDEOLOGIES AND ISSUES AND CANDIDATES IS A STRATEGY GWBUSH
USED IN 2000. Some days he sounded more like Al Gore than Gore himself, especially in
the last few weeks of the election. Last minute voters decide elections and they are the
dumbest voters, easily swayed, and least informed on issues.

49. Bill Clinton: Evil Genius, Puppet Master of Trolls

Former president Bill Clinton had a private telephone conversation in late spring with Donald Trump at the same time that the billionaire investor and reality-television star was nearing a decision to run for the White House, according to associates of both men.

Four Trump allies and one Clinton associate familiar with the exchange said that Clinton encouraged Trump’s efforts to play a larger role in the Republican Party and offered his own views of the political landscape. The 42nd president listened intently and then analyzed Trump’s prospects and his desire to rouse the GOP base, the Trump allies said.

...

Trump took the call from his office in Trump Tower in New York, according to the four allies, who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. The call came as Trump was making a final decision about whether to run, and he was candid about his political ambitions and his potential interest in seeking the White House during the talk, these allies said.



The tone of the call was informal and Clinton never urged Trump to run, the four people said. Rather, they said, Clinton sounded curious about Trump’s moves toward a presidential bid and told Trump that he was striking a chord with frustrated conservatives and was a rising force on the right. http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027045843

54. Post #46 above, in which...

BucolicFrolic used the term "NY brash," has given me an idea for a new term for Trump - one of those "words that isn't a word but should be."

Trump is a brash-hole.

55. "I'm more beloved..."

His schtick has gotten real old really fast. Just stfu already.

Not sure how we could even judge that.
