Oomis remember the old line if you cant stand the heat get out of the kitchen? it is her job to ask tough questions there was nothing unfair about her questions if a candidate is disrespectful to a huge segment of the electorate that is a valid issue if he were an anti semite you would have no problem with that issue being raised imo. “

Goq, I would agree with you had she actually asked him serious questions relating to politics. His views about Rosie O’Donnell were well-known a LONG time ago. She was disrespectful to him first, and drew first blood (whoops, am I not allowed to refer to blood, lest it be misinterpreted????) when she made fun of him. And while he should not be so thin-skinned, especially if he wants to be in politics, his unpleasant remarks about her did not reflect his views about ALL women. Had he been more tactful, he should have said, he regrets that he said such unflattering things, even as he was provoked.

As to the other things that Megyn Kelly asked him, ASK THE WOMEN who appeared on the Apprentice if they felt he disrespected them or was offensive in things he said to them. Two of the women came forward and said he did not deserve the negative feedback he was receing.

I am not looking to defend him, but I do believe he got a bad rap and Kelly did her best to ambush him with nonsense that had nothing materially to do with the election and his platform. And it was done to elicit a response that could be held against him. She baited him, from my perspective, plain and simple.Personally, I liked other candidates better, but let’s be fair.

BTW, I was singularly NOT impressed with Rand Paul. He is a dour man, interrupting and argumentative, and potentially dangerous obstacle to Israel. He’s the one candidate who stood out negatively for me. And that is even with not being a great fan of Jeb Bush.
