Donald Trump’s very fragile ego just couldn’t bear the critical questioning of his platform by Megyn Kelly tonight. And instead of taking it like a man, much less like a president, he went on a Twitter tirade against her, including calling her a “bimbo” again.

I am no fan of Kelly nor her guest Chris Stirewalt. But there was absolutely nothing wrong or unfair or even especially biased against Trump. But Trump apparently thinks he's entitled to the slobbering coverage he usually gets on Fox. Heck, it’s not like anybody brought up that Hawaii birther investigation he claimed to be conducting (and never revealed the results of). No, Kelly and Stirewalt very substantively discussed Trump’s immigration plan from the standpoint of rival Jeb Bush's criticisms of it.

For example, Kelly said about Jeb Bush in her introduction, which was obviously pre-scripted, "The gloves come off the in the race for the White House as a leading Republican contender attacks Donald Trump, the frontrunner, calling his immigration proposals 'unrealistic' and 'not conservative.'" We saw a clip of Bush attacking Trump.

Following that, Kelly discussed the plan with Stirewalt who accurately described Trump's evasive answers on particulars about how he'll work his plan. "He's banking on the fact that his supporters are so loyal to him, the core of supporters that he has, are so loyal to him that it doesn't really matter what he says," Stirewalt said, "...'cause they think Trump's gonna do it for them when he gets in there."

"Well, is that true, though?" Kelly asked. She cited a conservative organization that said his plan would take 20 years and cost between $420 billion and $620 billion" and that it would reduce the economy by 5.7%.

Kelly went on to cite a new poll that showed "Trump's got a problem with the Hispanic voters," as she put it. She asked the very legitimate question as to how that will affect Republicans in the general election since the other candidates seem to be moving toward Trump's anti-immigrant stance. "We saw Mitt Romney try something like this. It didn't work out too well for him," Kelly said. Stirewalt said the candidates could get "marooned" there.

Was Kelly challenging Trump's positions? Yes. But she was substantive, fair and on point. Quite a contrast to the rash of personal attacks Trump has laid on her.

But this was too much for Mr. Stand Up For America. In his temper tantrum, he retweeted the following personal attacks: “The bimbo back in town. I hope not for long.” And “She has come back looking like Nancy Grace.”

And more.

Watch what set off Trump’s childish vindictiveness, below, from the August 24 The Kelly File Show. Share your thoughts as to whether Fox will stand up for Kelly now or continue to throw her under the bus.
