*If you somehow found yourself not watching Thursday night’s Republican presidential debate, you won’t be surprised to learn that, according to the NY Times, Donald Trump emerged as the evening’s “winner.” Or, at the very least the news outlet feels he stole the show.
They described him as “outrageous” and “demeaning.” He was even somewhat menacing and made a new enemy out of moderator Megyn Kelly, warning the Fox News host that he could turn on her at any moment. This came after she asked the real estate mogul about his prior comments on women.
“Honestly, Megyn, if you don’t like it, I’m sorry, I’ve been very nice to you although I probably could maybe not be based on the way you’ve been to me,” Trump shot back.
When confronted with his tendency to describe the women he dislikes as “fat pigs,” “slobs” or “disgusting animals,” he dismissively replied that neither he nor the United States “have time for political correctness.”
Here’s what the Times is reporting about Trump:
After he thoroughly rattled the Republican presidential field and emerged as its singular vexation in the 2016 campaign, the question hovering over Mr. Trump, the developer turned reality TV star turned candidate, was whether he would adopt the measured and diplomatic manner of a plausible president for Thursday night’s debate.

Not a chance.
From the opening moments of the evening, when he flashed a wry grin and a mischievous victory sign at the boisterous crowd, Mr. Trump remained his irrepressible self: aggrandizing, unapologetic and cutting.
“I don’t think you heard me,” he scowled at Senator Rand Paul, when the lawmaker sought to interrupt him, then added condescendingly, “You’re having a hard time tonight.”
Oh yeah, Trump isn’t through with Megyn Kelly. After the debate he tweeted this:
“Wow, @megynkelly really bombed tonight. People are going wild on twitter! Funny to watch,” he tweeted at 3:40 am. “I really enjoyed the debate tonight even though the @FoxNews trio, especially @megynkelly, was not very good or professional!”
