Well, to my knowledge, Trump has never attacked YOU and yet here you are, attacking him nonstop.  Are people like you the myth?

I am a legend, not a myth! :cool:

She did come after him with fangs bared; I remember it very well.

Megyn Kelly had no business asking stupid questions and wasting everyone's time. She had an agenda from the start, and we know that subsequently she joined Trump's enemies who used the National Review to destroy Trump (and it backfired).  The duty of a moderator is to focus on issues, not dirt.

Yep.

When asked about his tax return in the Houston debate Trump insulted the moderator for no reason.  The myth Trump only attacks those who attack him first is just that, a myth.

when he was asked about his tax returns the first time he explained that he was not going to release them as long as he was being audited.....   i have two very good friends who are CPA's and they agreed it was not a good idea for him to release those returns largely because his returns are so extensive that it is difficult for him to follow the 70,000 page tax code to the letter and any mistakes made would be thrown up in his face and used against him.

 

Trump did not get testy until they kept asking and it was obvious they were baiting him to release his taxes anyway; even against what his professional tax people were telling him...    So I would not agree that he was tacky for no reason.

Did Megyn Kelly attack Trump when she pointed out that Hillary would use The Donald's own unflattering remarks about women against him should they both make the general election?

I went back and watched that question a couple of times just to get the details of what really happened.....   and when she asked the question he answered her in a calm and collected way and didn't put her down at all...   He did explain that he was not PC and didn't have time to be and neither did the country...   One needs to be aware that Rosie O'Donnell started the comments that Trump had said about her, and that Trump told Kelly that much of what he had said was out of fun and jesting.....   One would have to do a lot of research to get to the original things that Trump had said that Kelly was referring to.  Just about everyone I know agrees that the questions he was asked during that particular debate was very different than from the others....    I wrote Kelly and scolded her for the questions for I had been a fan of hers from the beginning.

However after her last birth, she had changed on the air and I have had a problem with her persona since that time and I seldom watch her any longer.

You and I remember it very differently.

Or were the fangs why The Donald made a reference to Kelly "bleeding"?

We are told to not associate with people who claim to be Christians but don't act like one.  This is especially true of fornication.  According to Wikipedia he boasts freely to having had many affairs.  He also denies asking God for forgiveness or trusting  in and walking with Christ, but he claims to be a Presbyterian and to have a relationship with a church.  That probably means in his eyes that he gave money to it at one time since they say he is not an active member.  He also was married there once.

I don't think it is scriptural to support a person who claims to be a Christians but who doesn't act like one in basic things like asking for forgiveness of sins.

I don't hold it against a person that once accepted abortion and now refutes it.  I welcome them to the flock.  Truthful knowledge begets needed change.  Now that he has openly associated himself with true evangelists, how can he resist eventually walking the walk?  I believe that Mr. Trump will protect the Christians and Jews from the attacks that are soon to intensify.

Max Lucado isn't willing to overlook it, and here's why.

"I don’t know Mr. Trump. But I’ve been chagrined at his antics. He ridiculed a war hero. He made a mockery of a reporter’s menstrual cycle. He made fun of a disabled reporter. He referred to the former first lady, Barbara Bush as 'mommy,' and belittled Jeb Bush for bringing her on the campaign trail. He routinely calls people 'stupid,' and 'dummy.' One writer catalogued sixty-four occasions that he called someone 'loser.' These were not off-line, backstage, overheard, not-to-be-repeated comments. They were publicly and intentionally tweeted, recorded, and presented.

"Such insensitivities wouldn’t be acceptable even for a middle school student body election. But for the Oval Office? And to do so while brandishing a Bible and boasting of his Christian faith?..."

Max is exactly right.  Just mean spirited and so very egotistical.

When the "change of heart" coincides with their chose of a party to run for president as, then it would be prudent to take it with a grain of salt
