U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday escalated a fight with Fox News, using the word "bimbo" in a derogatory tweet about anchorwoman Megyn Kelly after he dramatically pulled out of a debate only days before the first votes of the 2016 campaign are cast.

Trump on Tuesday withdrew from the televised encounter, scheduled for Thursday night in Des Moines, Iowa, irritated at host Fox News (FOXA.O) for allowing Kelly to moderate after her questioning had angered him in a debate last year.

The real estate magnate, who is the Republican front-runner to win the nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election, followed up with a thinly veiled insult on Wednesday.

"I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct," he wrote on Twitter. "Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!"

1. LOL, I could care less about Megan Kelly nor T-rump

This ploy is for the angry and psycho public (fake news audience), ie ratings. As mentioned in another thread, "sane" GOPers are not voting for him.

2. She's so lightweight you, Trump, are afraid of her questioning you in public?

3. Kelly to Trump

Trump has expressed doubts about attending Thursday’s debate if Kelly, the Fox News host with whom he clashed at the August debates, is not removed as a moderator.

Kelly fired back in a tweet directed at Trump, “Better come prepared, I’m menstruating.”

4. Thank goodness that's not real.

The funny thing is that I believed it at first. It's not that far-fetched considering what's happening with the GOP.

6. Runs away very frightened of Megyn Kelly.

Delicate, oversensitive, special Donny runs shrieking away from a debate with Megyn Kelly. But, he'll be very strong on ISIS.
