Trump doubles down on Megyn Kelly with gas attack.

AP September 3, 2015

At a sweltering rally in Laredo, Texas today, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he was ready to apologize to Megyn Kelly for remarks made at the last Republican debate. Trump then said “you know what, here’s my response.” He then shifted his posture and audibly broke wind. “Catch that and give it to Megyn, would you? Because she is a loser, like you.”

After the rally, one Trump adviser predicted another rise in the polls for the GOP front runner in the wake of the flatulence, adding, “this just proves he’s a regular guy.”

After the incident was reported, Senator Cruz called an impromptu press conference and opened with this. “Here’s what I think of the Democrats,” after which he belched loudly.

A source close to Rick Perry, said he is considering picking his nose at the next Republican debate. Jeb Bush could not be reached for comment.

that the GOP race has devolved to the point that you have to wonder for a second? That was the main point.

I served on the jury for this OP. It passed by a 1-5 vote. That it was alerted on serves to confirm that there are some concrete thinkers on DU.

A few years ago, I posted a tongue-in-cheek OP (that I thought was hysterical) about Sean Hannity. It was alerted upon, because a person was upset about the "source" (me). Yikes!

Real humor should never have a "warning label" on it.

I have never alerted and probably never will. It's weird because I have had two posts alerted today and both were absurd, imo. Open cycle primaries do not bring out the best in some.

But what I do like about this cycle is that there is also a flavor of joy, akin to Obama 2008, Dean 2004, Jackson 1988 and RFK 1968.
