I think that’s the main reason he didn’t want to do the next debate. It would have been through FOX News and Megyn Kelly probably would have been one of the moderators. Trump is utterly unhinged when it comes to women, and Kelly specifically.

I think it’ll come down to who gets under who’s skin first and Hillary might have the thickest skin in DC. Trump, meanwhile, is sensitive about his short fingers. It also sounds like Obama and Bill are going to be the ones firing the big guns and freeing up Hillary to concentrate on being positive. Frankly, I can see…

he has a crush on her... seen this a thousand times... he probably rides his bike past her house like 20 or 30 times every saturday

I’m very curious to see how that’s going to play out - she needs to stay above the fray while at the same time hitting him hard on his lack of coherent policies and his fascistic tendencies.

I don’t know what happened, I’m sorry.

Psychologically, I really don’t know how he’s going to handle Hillary. Trump’s Megyn Kelly “feud”/obsession seems extraordinary both because it seems so high-cost for him and relatively unprovoked. She asked him, once, a question about his misogyny in a debate? Like, JESUS CHRIST, that’s her job.

She called him out, on national television, and there wasn’t a damn thing he could do about. His usual boorish behavior backfired. She bruised his ego unlike no other. His inability to let it go is so revealing in that he is so obviously attracted to her, but he can never have her. Outside of doing her job, she would…

Exactly! I think - because of the way she looks - he had the expectation that she would behave like a fawning, eager-to-please beauty pageant contestant whose success and public existence is in some fundamental sense utterly dependent on his (r.e. male) approval. But it turns out, she’s not a dumb, obsequious blonde…

Because he wants to fuck her, that’s why. He cannot abide the fact that she sees right through all of his bullshit and isn’t at all swayed by his money or his sweaty orange face. He wants to fuck her and she’s all “HARD PASS, LOL.” Trump cannot handle it, and copes by calling her “crazy” and “sick.”

Instead of a madonna/whore dichotomy, I think Trump employs a fat pig/bimbo dichotomy. Kelly is not fat or ugly, and she’s not a bimbo because she keeps challenging him. At first, he was pissed that she was given permission to do so, but now that it’s clear FOX isn’t going to hide her away to appease him, she is now…

Exactly. She doesn’t agree with him and he can’t call her “ugly”. So of course, he labels her “crazy”. What a psycho.

I can see that. She's an accomplished and also attractive woman. I don't think he can handle that.

I think there is something weird and psychosexual in his inability to take criticism from her. He cannot abide her not liking him - her dissent. At first, it seemed like the usual politician versus pesky reporter war, but it’s not. There’s something about her being female that he cannot stand.

Paraphrasing a comment from another poster:

Fox News standing up for Megyn Kelly now is like three months late. I wonder if they feel they can be belligerent because Trump had another debate canceled and those are big money makers for the networks.

Add making me side with Fox News to the reasons I hate Donald Trump.

I’m assuming Shia’s beard is a donor site for Mia’s eyebrow transplants?

It’s an example of a thread that certain people who claim to be historians have turned into a rope. Like just about any other people, the Irish have been slaves and slaveholders throughout history. However, the Irish slave experience in the Americas, which was used by the English as a way to rid their territories of…

As a historian and an Irishman, I thoroughly approve of this. I mean, yes, there are some famously awful things that the Irish people have gone through over the years (the aforementioned research from the article, Oliver Cromwell, the Irish Famine, etc.), but the important thing to remember is that the Irish were…

I totally did not know that people claimed the Irish were slaves (being part-Irish meself, most likely of indentured servant stock). I also approve of Pictorial taking up not just cool paintings, photos, designs, etc., but also historic issues in general.
