During the Debate on Thursday Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump had a little spat. But it turned into something much bigger than that. After the debate Trump proceeded to go onto Twitter and write rude comments about Kelly. He called her a bimbo, a light weight and said that he didn't respect her as a journalist. He also made a rude comment and I quote saying, "There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." Because of the remarks Trump said about Kelly his invitation to appear at Erickson's RedState Gathering in Atlanta was removed. Erickon said that he didn't want someone to appear on stage who gets hostile question from a lady and the first thing he does is imply it was hormonal. Then Erickson decided to invite Megyn in Trump's place. When Erickson did this Trump's campaign said that it was an example of weakness through being politically correct and called Erickson a weak and pathetic leader. When Trump was on ABC's Good Morning America he said he wondered if what Kelly said he said was true.
It is, Kelly is not the only person that Trump has attacked, in fact listen to this excerpt from, his book Trump: How to Get Rich. "For many years I've said if someone screws you screw them back. When someone hurts you go after them as viciously and as violently as you can." When Trump's writing televised interviews and Twitter feed were reviewed it showed he has longed used mean language to target women and their physical appearance. Not only does he insult women but occasionally men as well here are a few examples.
On an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2006 Trump called Rosie O'Donnell disgusting, a slob, fat, ugly and many more things. He even brought it up in Thursday's debate when asked a question regarding his insults towards women by Kelly. Another example of him insulting a women is when he tweeted about Huffington Editor, Arianna Huffington. He tweeted that she was a dog who wrongfully comments on him and is ugly inside and out. He says she wrongly comments on him and then does the same back, I sense someone being a hypocrite! Trump doesn't just insult women but he also insults men for example former U.S Representstive in 2011, Barney Frank. Trump tweeted that Barney's nipples were protruding out of his blue shirt at congress and that it was disrespectful. He thinks that is disrespectful yet he gets on Twitter and disrespects all of them.
Megyn Kelly isn't much better. She has a long history of saying offensive comments about minority groups. Kelly hasn't been afraid to state her opinion about minority's on several occasions, here are a few examples. On the December 11, 2013 special she insisted that Santa Claus and Jesus are supposed to be white and just because it makes you feel uncomfortable doesn't mean it should change. She completely brushed off Fox host Jedddiah Bla's suggestion that a minority Jesus or Santa Claus might make minority kids feel included in holiday celebrations. Another example is on June 11, 2015 Kelly said on Fox News that the Obama Administration plans to force to white and to privileged communities to embrace diversity. So you see she wants to attack Trump and his views towards women but doesn't seem to understand she is attacking minorities just as much as him women.
In the Megyn Kelly VS. Donald Trump before you can choose sides you need to know more about each of them which I did and here is my opinion. I believe that Megyn Kelly as a professional journalist should not have shown her hostility to Trump in such a rude manner and on national TV. I don't think she should be calling him out for the way he talks to women when she comments freely, showing her racism, But, I also don't agree with the way that Trump believes it is okay for him to go onto Twitter and talk about people commenting harshly about them and their appearance. Yes we have freedom of expression but you can express yourself without tearing down someone else's profile. In the Kelly VS. Trump debate I think that they both have no room to insult the other when they both are doing the exact same thing just do different audiences. I don't believe either of them won this debate because both of their actions were uncalled for.

The Republican Presidental Debate (Top 10)
This is my second blog and this one is about our Top 10 Republican Candidates. Tonight soon after the non top 10 the more popular debate came on with America's Favorites as of right now. Now before we get into the questions let's talk about the pledge that started it off. They asked who would be unwilling to pledge support to whoever became the Republican Nominee and promise not to run and individual campaign against them. Donald Trump was the only to raise his hand and then further commented, saying he wouldn't run an individual campaign against himself if he wins, but he might do an individual campaign against anyone else who beats him. For this blog I will give you a general overview of each person and their views,lets start with the first person who was asked a question, Ben Carson.
Ben Carson: He showed tonight that even though some don't have faith in him because of his inexperience. He learns fast and that this nation wasn't made great by politicians but my people with the right principles. He also believes that Clinton shouldn't be president because she takes advantages of the uneducated and that he plans to educate the people. I think that some of the things Ben Carson said were true and others I didn't agree with, When he said as a black neurosurgeon, people ask why I don't talk about race, I say it is because it is what is inside that matters that riled me up. Yet Carson wants to call the Black Lives Matter Campaign silly knowing that black people are losing their lives because of what's on the outside not the inside, and to ignore race is ignoring the history and present of this country.
Marco Rubio: He told us tonight that the election should not be based on resimay or Clinton will win, but it should be based on who will improve our future. He shows us that he dislikes Clinton and Trump and usually agrees with Kasich. He believes if the federal government gets a chance they will force common core education so don't give them a chance. And that we need to help make America fair for small business owners. I really do like a lot of Rubio's points I don't usually agree with Trump and I do agree with Kasich and helping small businesses. But, I do agree with some of Clinton's remarks and think there should be high standards for education and if states can't meet that then the government should intervene.
Jeb Bush: He did very well tonight proving he isn't his father or his brother and that he knows he will have to earn back trust for himself but he can do it. He says that we cannot help America until we are united and that Clinton will not help this and we need a republican in office. He also believes most illegal immigrants had no other option and we need to be more strategic with it and that we do need higher standards for our education and all of America. Tonight I think that Bush represented himself very well and had some very good points and the only matter is convincing America about another Bush.
Donald Trump: He believes both he and the country don't have time for political correctness and that we are in trouble because we are losing to all countries. On the immigration topic he said our leaders are stupid and the Mexican leaders are smart so they dump all their bad people onto us. Nobody agreed with him. It was terrible that Trump was proud to say he took advantage of the laws to make himself rich at the expense of others. And this is true for so many people today and it needs to be stopped. He was also questioned several times about why he is always changing his mind on issues and he didn't have a solid answer, plus he doesn't seem to have much respect for women. I personally don't think that as a business man who speaks his mind in a non professional way and doesn't stand for of a group should win the election. As Kasich said he touched a nerve Americans care about and that is why he is up but I think this debate will effect him negatively.
Ted Cruz: Tonight he emphasized his point that we need a leader that will speak the truth not just agree with everything the people want to hear, that will be honest and honor commitments. He also strongly emphasized we need a good commander in chief who will be able to take charge with the ISIS problem. I agree with Cruz's points I just think he needed to tell us more about the other issues he would focus on if he got into office he has also proven to be rude and divisive.
Chris Christie: Did very well tonight when he was asked questions that could damage his campaign if he answered wrong he did well. He showed us how well he has done with New Jersey so far. He told us that 71% of government money is spent on entitlements and we must change that or it could cause problems. He also believes it is okay to look through citizen phone records if it will help to protect the homeland from terrorists. Christie did very well tonight and I believe his points were good. But, he didn't explain how to bring down the entitlement percentage just saying it causes problems or tell us how much of the records they have access too. He has some very strong points but we need more information.
Scott Walker: He showed he strongly believes that an unborn child needs protection and that he doesn't agree with Clinton very much. When he was asked why he changed his mind on an issue he did well explaining it. Saying he did research and listened to the people and changed his mind to work to secure the border and make legal immigration easier. He also justified not fulfilling his promise to Wisconsin saying he aims high and will do it no matter how long it takes. Walker was the only one to talk about Police Brutality and that we need a better training program and consequences to those who show to much force on anybody. I agreed with several of Walker's points and he did good to save his campaign in tight squeezes but I also feel he did not address the racial issue in police brutality at all and that a women should not have to die to protect and unborn child's right.
John Kasich: He showed that even though his colleagues disagree with him he would rather get people the medical resources they need then pay money to keep them in prison. That even though it did make some debt it cut down taxes and created more jobs. He also shows that whether you have the same opinion as him or not for issues like gay marriage he will still care for you. One of his strongest points was if he was given the chance to counter Hilary Clinton he would use economic growth, how we need to reach out to minorities and how we need to unite America again as his argument. I agreed with nearly all of Kasich's points and thought his remark on how to counter Clinton will really help his campaign.
Mike Huckabee: Told us tonight that we should keep the entitlement program, not cut benefits oe raise the retirement age because that is stealing from people and wrong. He also believes an abortion is wrong no matter how the baby came about because that would be violating the baby's right under the 5th and 14th amendments. I think Huckabee did well tonight countering against his opponents but I also think if he is going to call taking away the entitlement program wrong he needs to present an alternative. And that yes it would be denying the baby's right but what about the woman's choice to have the baby? His points showed his opinion well but didn't show us his plan of resolvement.
Rand Paul: Paul got into a lot of heated arguments with some of the other candidates today and fought passionately on his points. He believes if we want to stop and defeat ISIS we need to not arm their allies and not sign the deal or help them, because if they receive no support it will be easier to take them down. He also said people should be free to express their opinion and the government should not be allowed to put its opinions into religious beliefs like gay marriage. I think Paul fought well tonight but I also don't exactly agree with his ISIS point.
Here is my Ranking Order:
10. Donald Trump

I think there are a few points that should have been mentioned that weren't in either debate. Some of these points would be the racial issue with police brutality and how more force is being used on minorities like blacks. Education, Voting Rights for Minorities, Civil Rights and Reducing Entitlement for Rich People. I believe in the next debate they need to talk about race and rights and stop trying to avoid something inevitable that is impacting our nation negatively
I want to know based on the debate and my blog your ranking for our top 10 and what topics you think should have been mentioned so start commenting! Can't wait to see everyone's opinions!

The Republican Presidential Debate (Non Top 10)
I spent some time watching the non top 10 republican presidential candidates. First, I want to say throughout the entire thing many of these republican candidates avoided the question. I don't know how many times our hosts had to redirect them back on topic. I mean seriously in an interview later on the hosts even said it was hard to keep them on track.The problem was they wanted to go on and on about their campaign but not answer the questions America is most concerned about. And its no question why, because we all know they didn't know how to answer them. Some of the questions that were asked were presented many years ago and to this day have not been solved. Instead of them trying to find a way to answer these very difficult questions they were avoiding them and trying to boost their own campaigns and tear down others. For once in our lives I think that candidates need to show why they are worthy and not why someone else isn't. Even as kids we know that politics is a web of opinions, lies and tearing other people down and this debate helped to justify that. If you were watching the debate you know that every candidate at least once brought up Obama or Hilary Clinton and proceeded to criticize them and their beliefs. Just because it isn't yours doesn't make it wrong and I thought that was outragingly biased and wrong to do. Now lets get into the actual debate.
They started off the debate with ISIS and its threat to America and we had 3 candidates start off talking about it.
I definitely agreed with Mr.Pataki's statement, I don't want to be attacked, but not about how their violence should not be classified as using the 1st amendment. It is the very 1st amendment and it makes me ponder none of us want them to use their freedom of speech and religion for violence, but is it our right to take it away? Carly Fiorina's points were exceptional and everyone believes she is going to be moving to the top 10. Some of the points Jim Gilmore made could have a very positive impact on the ISIS crisis. When he is talking about the Middle East NATO,but it will be difficult to get them to join together when we aren't on good terms with all of them. All of their remarks were great points just a bit flawed.
Another Hot topic is Illegal Immigration and we heard from Rick Santorum and Governor Perry. They were asked what they would say to a child who could stay in America but not their parents? Here are their responses.
Neither of them answered the question but in my opinion Rick had the best points. He said that we need to treat everyone equally under the laws, he just needs to show people we can trust him to carry that out. Governor Perry was off topic for most of it, but he did mention he would secure the border, which needs to be done.
Our next topic gives us an opinion from almost everyone else and it is on Economy and Jobs. The question was is the unemployment rate and economy getting worse and what are you going to do about it?
Now, I don't agree with Graham's tactics during this because he was just destroying Clinton the entire time. But I do partially agree with both Gilmore and Jindall and how they plan to grow the economy by creating better jobs by changing some things Obama created except for them dissing Obama Care against some of the good statistics.
Next, a topic with several different opinions is planned parenthood. The question was pro life or pro choice?
George Pataki said he was pro choice to a certain extent and that you had 20 weeks to do the abortion or no abortion. The others on this topic didn't really stay on the topic and moved on to their own campaigns.
Now our last topic which almost everyone had something to say about is Executive Power. The question is as president what would be your first executive order?
I agree with Jindall very strongly about making sure the IRS doesn't go after religious groups, and partly Gilmore and Graham about defunding Planned ParentHood and Sorting through the executive orders to make sure they don't make the same mistake. I just think they need to change the way they word their opinions. For Governor Perry I wish he would have elaborated but he makes a strong point about destroying the Iran Deal and securing the border.
That isn't everything mentioned in the debate but some of the hottest and most important topics to Americans according to Fox News, so I included them. Now below I would like both kids and adults to comment who their favorite non top 10 republican is based on this. For me I think it was Carly Fiorina. I want to know what you think, Start Commenting!
