she should really be apologizing to me if you want to know the truth. susan, i thought just as a guy watching this thing that megyn kelly nobody is not a competitor in this business. everybody is doing their job trying to get ahead. that she won that exchange, that she made him look out of control, his temperament was totally out of whack and she seemed calm and tough doing her job. i completely agree. she acted like a profession noll asking an appropriate question but not enough to cost him the presidency along with a series of interactions. he lost women but he won white women by 10 percentage points and that was a surprise. what did you make of that? the blood thing, i didn t get it the fist time. oh my god, this guy is gross. yet it didn t seem to stop him. it created the outcome because it with us a good conspiracy against republicans running for office. in other words, you found republicans chiding fox and megyn for the way they engaged with donald trump. let ....
