Heh Erick: You don't get to choose candidates. Voters do. He is not a professional politician and is known for being a blunt talker. He connects with so much of the anger in the Republican base and is not afraid to be outspoken on a lot of issues. But there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. Decency is one of those lines. As much as I do personally like Donald Trump, his comment about Megyn Kelly on CNN is a bridge too far for me. In a CNN interview, Mr. Trump said of Megyn Kelly, “You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.” It was not the “blood coming out of her eyes” part that was the problem. Megyn Kelly asked her "question" in a leading, provocative and indecent manner. She did it because she was playing the "girl card", which is often played when you want to do something that is over the line. It is an attempt to claim special privilege by virtue of your gender (and is also done by persons trying to do so by virtue of their race, religion, sexual preference or whatever else.) It is improper in all cases, and in the case of a Presidential Debate it is even more-so, because the person in question who we are all attempting to qualify for the job should be chosen purely on their merits. Trump called Megyn on what she tried to do. He was both direct and, you can argue, quite crass about it, but that's what you deserve when you try to playing the girl card in such a situation. The real question you raise, Erick, is why Redstate should matter to anyone given that you have now defined the organization as one in which outright abuse of one's "special status" is now granted dispensation and given a stamp of appropriateness. Sorry, but no. That is exactly what has been wrong with American Politics for a long time; it is arguably why nobody "dares" criticize President Obama without being risking named as a racist, it is why you can't criticize Hillary without being called a gender bigot and other similar slams and slurs. It's time this horsecrap have the curtain called down on it and then burned with the protagonists of this tactic inside, and you get to go first because you wrapped yourself in it. PS: In case you can't read sign language, here it is in blunt English: **** both Redstate you personally, Erick.

Someone should make sure he never substitute hosts for Herman Cain or Sean Ha Hannity again. I wonder if his ass bleeds.
