USA –  -(Ammoland.com)-  An excerpt:… Here’s what just happened: Donald Trump had not expected to be subjected again to Megyn Kelly’s ministrations, after the anchor’s missteps during the first prime-time Republican debate, in Cleveland, Ohio, last year.

The consensus among very many outside the Beltway bubble was that the smug Megyn Kelly had been rude and overbearing during that debate, clobbering Trump with sub-intelligent, war-on-women questions.

Donald Trump had implicitly, at least, expected the network to rethink its decision to unleash showy Ms. Kelly, once again, on the occasion of a Republican debate, scheduled for January 28 2016.

It’s hard to believe Kelly’s higher-ups at FNC are so stupid as to put her in the moderator’s chair again. Given the woman’s profile, I suspect Fox’s Golden Goose had henpecked the boss, Roger Ailes, to have at it again.

Kelly’s central focus is to be center-stage. This her unbecoming conduct over months has made clear.

“The Kelly File,” Megyn’s eponymous show, has persistently ignored news about the news-maker of the day, Donald Trump. Yet just this once, Kelly elected to extensively cover Trump’s decision not to attend a debate moderated by herself, to whom she referred adoringly as “yours truly.”

“Yours truly” was the theme of the January 26 2016 segment.

And the guests stampeded to her studio for a chance to genuflect to Kelly and diss the front-runner for the umpteenth time. This time it would be different. This time, Trump was going down.

Kelly’s “Breaking News” coverage entailed parading other candidates past and present to berate Trump’s actions—to call him a coward, running scared of a woman; to question the candidate’s commitment to Iowans, label him as someone who doesn’t show-up, when Trump has been in Iowa all along, showing Iowans The Love.

Especially asinine was the snarky Millennial-like press release Fox News chose to put out in response—a release that cemented Donald Trump’s decision to do something more useful and foil the Megyn Kelly extravaganza.

PRESS RELEASE QUOTE: “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings …”

The notice was too frivolous for actor Sean Penn to have penned (we recently discovered Penn could write). Perhaps the ghost writer was goofy, late-night show host Jimmy Fallon? . …

CRUZ ’16 !

David there are those who will say you lie or that it does not matter. Trump supporters are gullible enough to forgive him for running from Megyn. But it is important and thinking Americans will vote against him. That likely means Hello Madam President.
President Kasich sounds better to me.

JohnC

Max really? Her Hair? How does yours look?

JohnC

Carlos you said it better than I would have. But Megyn has more balls than Trump. She is very intelligent and unafraid to go head to had with Senators and Governors. She just did not know that Trump is fragile. Trump the pussy.
He can dish it out but cannot take it.

Mikail

Agreed, could not pour piss out of a boot with the instructions written on the sole!

Al Schmidt

Trump is far from stupid! He knew that the cards were stacked against him in that debate. Both FOX & Google were out to get trump. Well, it backfired & FOX lost money & Trump still won the debate without being there!

TEX

Megan Kelley is awesome at what she does ! She’s hot and she’s classy ! She asked to hard questions to everyone ! I just wish that this young woman would please grow her hair back out !

Colonialgirl

That should have been COULD NOT find her way out even with a map.

Colonialgirl

Megan could find her way out of a paper bag that was open at one end. I bet she is a Obama lover and will vote for the ugly witch of Arkansas Shrill Hillary.

Colonialgirl

What Carlos and subject himself to more Feminazi attacks from this over paid street corner hooker. Bet she slept her way into the position, it certainly wasn’t due to intelligence and common sense.

Gary;
Why not just DELETE your self and we wont get any more pollution from you and you can continue on in your total ignorance.

Mikail

Hypothetical Question: You’re in a locked room. Your only companions are Megyn Kelly and Jane Fonda. You have a 1911 and one (1) bullet. What do you do?

J King

Megan Kelly is smarter then any of you dump ass. I must be Obama supporter lose and can find your way so you talk about someone you done know nothing about.

David

These are all quotes from Donald Trump. “As far as single payer, it works in Canada, it works incredibly well in Scotland.” “I would press for universal healthcare … I would put forward a comprehensive health care program and fund it with an increase in corporate taxes.” “We must have universal healthcare.” “I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis, you have to (take in Syrian refugees..)” “I am pro-choice in every respect.” “I support the ban on assault weapons and I also support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun.” “I hate the concept… Read more »

Who “elected” Megan Kelly?

Why do these two bit celebs think they have any real value??

She has taken journalism to a new low. I quit watching all lamestream news and now get my news from conservative internet.sites. Boycott all the major networks including Fox.

Aurelius

I understand that Trump, wishing to improve relations with the Fox network, has invited Megyn Kelly to appear with him on Naked and Afraid for two weeks with him. He has assured her that she won’t have to worry about eating insects or other unpleasant things for he will have the whole two weeks catered. He wishes only to be naked with her for a considerable amount of time. Let’s hope this brings Trump and the Fox network, along with MS Kelly, together for victory in the fall!!

sadgrampa

she wants to look like her hero Rachel Madow

Max

Chopping the hair was a bad idea. She was hired as T&A for FOX. Now she looks like she should anchor for CNBC or Current Television.

L. Jordan

Iilana, could you possibly display your bias more openly?, I think not. Looking at your Bio I would think you would be intelligent and a critical thinker but instead I find that you are a biased hack. Have a good day.

L Jordan

llana, could you possible display your bias more clearly, I think not, A Libatard is not necessarily a conservative and I suspect that neither are you..Have a good day.

Carlos

You people sound exactly like the far left when confronted with facts, start the name calling and derogatory comments. I like to think conservatives are better than that. I am proven wrong once again. If Trump wants to be president, he may have to toughen up a bit. Taking your ball and going home doesn’t work in the grown-up world. Trump made those comments and should have to answer to them, just as any other candidate. I like a lot of what he believes we need to do in returning the US back to our previous status in the world… Read more »

Just a 2 cent whore. No talent you figure out how she got the position she in. Just saying

Gary

I will delete any more from this liberal site

Tony

I see Megyn Kelly went to the flaming liberal butch bitch haircut. I guess she thinks she’s finally arrived and doesn’t need to hide it any longer.
