Quote:Hannity was on with Levin after the debate. He said then he thought the quip was funny. No big deal. You do as well. But as you defend Kelly, did she , as you say Rosie did, deserve it? First thing she asks Trump is things he said about women on his tv shows. Nothing about political issues, etc. she didn't know baiting Trump could lead to him getting nasty? Then she's naive. Otherwise, maybe she deserved it as well. but I get it. Rosie is left Kelly right, so there's bias.

Neither deserved it, and neither remark was funny. Doesn't help me decide whose best to lead the country.

 

Did you actually watch the debate and pay attention?  Perhaps going back and reading the transcripts regarding what was said.

 

The start of the debate.

Quote: 

KELLY: Gentlemen, our first round of questions is on the subject of electability in the general election,
and we start tonight with you, Dr. Carson.

 
You are a successful neurosurgeon, but you admit that you have had to study up on foreign policy, saying there’s a lot to learn.
 
Your critics say that your inexperience shows. You’ve suggested that the Baltic States are not a part of NATO, just months ago you were unfamiliar with the major political parties and government in Israel, and domestically, you thought Alan Greenspan had been treasury secretary instead of federal reserve chair.
 
Aren’t these basic mistakes, and don’t they raise legitimate questions about whether you are ready to be president?

 

After a few more candidates answer a question that specifically targets each one, here is the exchange between Kelly and Trump.

Quote: 

KELLY: Mr. Trump, one of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t use a politician’s filter. However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women.

 
You’ve called women you don’t like “fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”
 
(LAUGHTER)
 
Your Twitter account…
 
TRUMP: Only Rosie O’Donnell.
 
(LAUGHTER)
 
KELLY: No, it wasn’t.
 
(APPLAUSE)
 
Your Twitter account…
 
(APPLAUSE)
 
TRUMP: Thank you.
 
KELLY: For the record, it was well beyond Rosie O’Donnell.
 
TRUMP: Yes, I’m sure it was.
 
KELLY: Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women’s looks. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees. Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president, and how will you answer the charge from Hillary Clinton, who was likely to be the Democratic nominee, that you are part of the war on women?
 
TRUMP: I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct.
 
(APPLAUSE)
 
I’ve been challenged by so many people, and I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either. This country is in big trouble. We don’t win anymore. We lose to China. We lose to Mexico both in trade and at the border. We lose to everybody.
 
And frankly, what I say, and oftentimes it’s fun, it’s kidding. We have a good time. What I say is what I say. And honestly Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry. I’ve been very nice to you, although I could probably maybe not be, based on the way you have treated me. But I wouldn’t do that.
 
(APPLAUSE)
 
But you know what, we — we need strength, we need energy, we need quickness and we need brain in this country to turn it around. That, I can tell you right now.

 

Megyn Kelly actually asked a valid question that Donald Trump obviously didn't like regarding things that he has said in the past, and she pointed out that it wasn't "just Rosie O'Donnell".

 

Donald Trump turns it around and makes it "all about him" and implies that she was attacking him personally.

 

Facts are such difficult things for some people to grasp.
