Megan Kelly challenged Donald Trump last night. He did a pretty good job of ducking the jab. He made a good point about how we don’t have time for political correctness. Unfortunately Trump did not end it there. Today he was gloating about this on twitter.

If he really made these tweets, he has made a huge mistake. The following statement is not only rude and obnoxious, it is absurd:
“I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!” he wrote on Twitter after the debate
“Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight,” he wrote. “People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch.”
At best this is incredibly stupid because every Fox News Anchor will stand up for Megan Kelly. That is just the way things work. He has just turned the people he needs the most into his worst enemy. In addition no one likes to see a man pick on a woman. Men don’t like this, women absolutely hate this. This is so bad that I am not sure an apology would be enough. I think Donald Trump may have inflicted his campaign with a terminal case of foot in mouth disease. Wow!
If Trump drops in the polls, which seems likely, then it will be interesting to see who surfaces. Odds are it won’t be Jeb Bush. It could even be Carly Fiorina. One thing is sure; this race has changed dramatically over-night.
