I didn't watch the debates, so I have no direct knowledge of what happened:

But if Donald Trump's main goal is to get women fired up to help Hillary win the White House, he's doing a great job.
Update: This news story confirms what I previously claimed about debate "moderators" - they have an agenda of their own, which I perceive to be a desire to destroy certain candidates they or their bosses do not like:

The unspoken tragedy in this situation is that "moderators" can tamper with the political process, while the debaters and their political party are forced to just bend over and take it. In this sense, I sympathize more with Trump than with Megyn Kelly.
Do these "moderators" actually think they can screw with powerful people and face no backlash? If they do, they are pretty stupid. And We The People are pretty stupid too if we believe that people like the Clintons don't retaliate against those who embarrass them with the facts during an election campaign. If you need an example of such a retaliation, look no further than Chuck Harder, whose radio network was destroyed after he publicized the drug money laundering activities of Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas.
And should you think that the Clintons no longer participate in such retaliation, consider this: journalist Gary Webb uncovered the drug smuggling which occurred in Mena, Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor. If you watched the movie "Kill The Messenger" VERY closely, you may have noticed that Mena was left out of the screenplay in the one place it should have appeared had the movie been completely factual. Was this an accident, or does Hollywood still step to the Clinton dance tune?
