Trump now in the tenth grade with abusive Megyn Kelly tweets. The tenth grade, when

some boys don't quite have a hold of their engines and feelings on women in any civilized way. Where gossip is king. But these are actual adult Trump supporters Trump is playing off of. Sick.

Trump's sexism and misogyny. I don't care much about Kelly but that's how he treats all women. Which is the point of this.

Just because she or any other woman are Repubs, doesn't mean it's ok to be sexist toward them. Wrong is wrong, period!

Fox News where no skirt is too short and no heels are too high are a matter of corporate policy is complaining about the sexist treatment of one of their sneering news bunnies by a juvenile child monster they shamelessly promoted for years? Cry me a river.

It's what they promote 24/7. It's what they do. It would be like a stripper complaining that men are leering at her all day long.

Elizabeth Warren tomorrow. The only difference is Warren isn't on his radar yet.

What I mean is, he's a misogynist. Eventually he'll act misogynisticly toward some female you respect. Isn't it better to see him for what he is and call him out for it in general, rather than wait until it hits home for you?

While the right wingers are skewering each other, we should sit back and watch (and applaud). I see no reason whatsoever to defend Kelly.

If Trump turns his sights on someone, either a non-political person or someone on our side, then we let him have it with both barrels. We can then point to Kelly as a further example of why he's such an oaf.

You do know that more likely than not, Trump--if nominated--will be facing a female opponent?

And knowing Trump, every sexist ploy and insult in the book will be fair game.

If he starts that crap on a Democrat or a non-political woman, then we should blast him.

While the right wing imbeciles are chewing each other up, we should sit back and let them have at it.

And yes, the knife cuts both ways, and if Meygn Kelly is peddling bullshit on her show, she deserves to be called out on it.

But Trump calling anyone "crazy" or making insinuations about them being on their period is not excusable, no matter the target.

However one feels about her politics, Kelly is not just some blond Fox bimbo. She's an attorney who declined an offer as partner in her law firm to go into broadcast news.
