Trump's Attacks on Megyn Kelly Just Proved Her Point

Megyn Kelley is a trained and once-practicing attorney.  As such, she knows how to bait people on the witness stand.  So, when it came to asking Donald Trump a question about his past verbal attacks on women, she knew full well how he would react:

As it turns out, that reaction was mild compared to what came next. A day later, when  questioned about the exchange, he described Kelley by saying she had "blood coming out of her wherever"; implying she was having her menstrual period.  Then he further disparaged her by calling her a "lightweight".  This about a woman who is the top ratings winner for news and commentary in all of cable/satellite TV. Given Trump's past history with Rosie O'Donnell, my guess is that Megyn Kelley will remain in his sights for a long time with even more verbal attacks to come.

Basically, her plan worked. He swallowed the bait and proved her point regarding his attitude towards women he doesn't like.
