Trump's Misogynistic Meltdown

[DesertRat]

Political pundits on TV and Twitter tied themselves in knots Tuesday night trying to decipher Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from Thursday's GOP debate, the last debate before Monday's Iowa caucuses. Many deemed it a power play, a strategic decision aimed at exerting power over Fox News and his Republican rivals. Others wondered if it was just another in a long line of knee-jerk reactions from Trump. But no one seemed to point out the obvious.

It's about misogyny.

Trump is boycotting the debate at least in part because it's co-moderated by Megyn Kelly, a Fox News anchor he feels personally slighted him in the first Republican primary debate in August. Kelly's crime? She asked Trump to account for his temperament, given his practice of condemning women with whom he disagreed as "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals."

A subsequent months-long meltdown ensued – Trump lashing out and stomping his feet in protest that a woman had the gall to publicly reference his previous disparaging attacks against women. (Let's pause for a moment and savor how Trump's incessant whining serves only to verify the sexist nature he's so desperate to deny.)

1. Trump is an idiot

2. While I think Trump is a vile,

repulsive misogynist and bigot, he really had no choice once Roger Ailes sent out that press release about the ayotollah and putin. That was unprofessional and nobody would have showed up if they had been the one attacked like that by the head of a network. That said, is everyone else having as much fun as I am watching donnie destroy not only the republican party but fox news as well?

4. He picks his battles.

He met his match and he knows it.

5. Trump went too far for US News and World Report?

Have the conservative media grown weary of their creation at long last?

8. Let's throw tampons at him!

Used or new, it doesn't matter. Throw some douche kits at him as well, since he's such a douchebag royale.
