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.
