Trump Attacks Megyn Kelly On Twitter
JOHN KING, CNN HOST, "INSIDE POLITICS": OK, it's an issue and it may be an issue in California, but for Jeb Bush to be stuck in the quick sand. I am convinced anchor baby could become the self- support of 2016. Once Mitt Romney went there in the campaign four years ago, it was over with Latino voters.</s>ASHLEY PARKER, "THE NEW YORK TIMES": Right, I mean, it certainly was and here's the thing, Jeb Bush is a self-described policy wonk and a self-described nerd ball and so he wants to be talking about the policy and Trump has clearly gotten Jeb Bush and all the other Republicans off their game, and of course, this was some sort of make this about language and rhetoric. And when you're trying to substitute one group -- with another group, he is now offended, you're simply not winning regardless if you have very good policy that a lot of immigration activists agree with as Jeb does.</s>KING: I think Mr. Trump is under the governor's skin, fair to say?</s>ROBERT COSTA, "THE WASHINGTON POST": He is. I spoke to Trump yesterday. He just continues to slam Bush. And he loves it. I said are you going to stop it ever? He said, probably not and on immigration especially this has put the Republican Party in a tough position. The base loves what Trump is saying on immigration. Whether it plays in a general election, who knows?</s>KING: Right, but the calendar has been changed, those southern states are going to be a lot more important this time.</s>COSTA: Even if you don't get a big bounce out of those early February caucuses and primaries, March 1st, nine states, south.</s>KING: You mentioned he says he may not stop going after Governor Bush, someone needs to help me understand why he thinks it's in his benefit, to his benefit to keep going after Megyn Kelly. Megyn Kelly was on vacation. Donald Trump tweeting out last night at Megyn Kelly, "Must have had a terrible vacation. She is really off her game. Was afraid to confront Dr. Cornel West. No clue on immigration." That was about the "Kelly File" last night. Later he tweets, "I like the "Kelly File" much better without Megyn Kelly. Maybe she could take another 11-day unscheduled vacation" so two sort of gratuitous shots at her there. What I think is a bigger problem. He then again re-tweeted a tweet where somebody called her a bimbo. He did that right after the Fox debate when he had the confrontation with her and he does it again last night. No rules apply to Donald Trump, but I cannot see how that is in his interest.</s>PARKET: I was very stunned to see those tweets as well. Donald Trump is in a weird way a post Fox News candidate, a post everything candidate. The rules of traditional politics do not apply. You cannot go to war with Fox News. You try to get booked on all of their shows, right? And he's doing the exact opposite and crowd loves him for it.</s>COSTA: I was at a focus group last night of Trump supporters in Virginia and the one thing -- these were all Trump supporters, the one thing that really turned them off, Trump's comments about women. He should be paying attention to the voters. It's not acceptable if you're a presidential candidate.</s>KING: Interesting point. We'll see how this plays out. Betsy Klein sent out a note saying she was talking to a Trump supporter who said, as a parent, it makes me cringe, some of the stuff he puts out on Twitter. Ashley, Robert, thanks for coming in. Alisyn, it's a very interesting. We'll see how the Jeb-Trump thing I think is going to be. We have that CNN debate coming up in just a few weeks. I think the Jeb-Trump thing is going to be the biggest head- butt.</s>ALISYN CAMEROTA, CNN ANCHOR: The thing to watch. All right, we look forward to that debate, September 16th. John, thanks so much. Next, we speak exclusively with Christopher Norman. He is the man who helped those three Americans bring down a terror suspect in France. He tells us his incredible story on board that train. He is next.
