Trump (at his hotel) just praised Newt for his spat w/Megyn Kelly.

They are going to discuss this now on CNN. Trump, acting like the big man at his hotel opening, just praised Newt for arguing with Megyn Kelly (see the big Newt/Megyn Kelly thread for the full video and Kelly's glorious takedown of Newt). And I thought Trump cared SO MUCH about winning over women voters.

1. John King just said that Trump has a weird Megyn Kelly obsession

[PJMcK]

2. Of course he does!

Donald Trump would love to have sex with Megyn Kelly. He knows he never will and it makes him hate her.

Donald Trump is transparent. His ghostwriter for "The Art Of The Deal" made it clear when he said that if Mr. Trump says something negative about you, he's really talking about himself. Projection is the Trump Tell.

9. Co-author. He is credited on the cover. Ghostwriters are unseen/unaccredited.

10. My mistake (n/t)

4. It stems from that debate, where she called him out on his misogynistic rhetoric

There he was, standing up there with all the 'guys', and this mere woman had the temerity to confront him with what he has actually said, like it was something "bad".

We all know Trump has real issues with women, in general, and women in the media, specifically. And Megyn Kelly has a very direct and 'cut to the bone' way of delivering a question.

7. He falls apart when a woman questions him/his behavior. Trump's trolls also turned

on Kelly after the first debate. They desperately tried to get her fired in addition to making death threats against her, her husband, and their children.

3. Newt must be headed to Trump TV.

5. so he opens a new business and is out there touting sexual harrassment at its opening?

this guy is great businessman, yeah right

[anneboleyn]

6. Seriously. He absolutely can't control himself -- an insecure infant. Still scared by Megyn Kelly

[Maru Kitteh]

8. He has scads of female deplorables with IQs of 87 that show up at his rallies

and declare their loyalty and love for him on Twitter. This is how he chooses to gauge his support, so by this measure, why would he worry about changing his own deplorable attitude and behavior towards women? From his perspective, he hasn't done anything wrong, because all these women still love him anyway.
