Apparently Trump is making the KKK look reasonable.

Trump is boycotting the next debate because he doesn't like Megyn Kelly.

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politic ... -1.2509821
“I don’t think she’s a professional. I don’t think she’s a talented person,” the former reality star told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Tuesday, before snubbing the electorate.

At first, Fox News poked fun at Trump’s whining. But after Trump nixed the debate because Fox wouldn’t eject Kelly from her moderator’s seat, the network issued a serious statement accusing Trump’s campaign manager of threatening Kelly.

“Capitulating to politicians’ ultimatums about a debate moderator violates all journalistic standards, as do threats, including the one leveled by Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski toward Megyn Kelly,” the network said.

I can just see President Trump declining to meet with the leaders of whatever country the crisis of the day is with because he doesn't like them either. What a cowardly dumbass.

He said she has "blood coming out of her...wherever", but she's the unprofessional one? Interesting.

It is a complete mystery to me how 30% or whatever of Republican voters actually think voting for this guy is a good idea. I work daily with a large number of Republican voters. I cannot fathom even 2% of them voting for Trump, unless it is a joke.

How on earth are we 9 months into the Republican race, and the two leaders are complete assmunches? How are reasonable people not looking at a Kasich and thinking, "maybe this is a better idea?" in large numbers?

I know. I don't get it either. I also work with a ton and they either fall into the Evangelical wing (who won't vote for Trump since he's so non-religious) or the more traditional wing, who are more behind people like Rubio or Bush. When you look at his rallies I think Trump is getting the "people of Walmart" vote. I don't work with people like that. And also don't forget: Trump might be getting 30% of the Republican vote but that's probably more like 15% of all voters being polled....or less if the poll doesn't count undecideds. It shows you how utterly terrible the field of candidates is this year.
