Has Donald Trump finally gone too far with 'menstruation' attack?

The best way to handle someone like Donald Trump is to give him enough rope to hang himself - as we saw on Thursday night, writes Matt K Lewis
It didn't hurt him when he said Mexico was sending America their "rapists", or when he disparaged the heroic military service of Sen. John McCain ("I like people who weren't captured," he harrumphed).
But Donald Trump might have finally jumped the shark with his recent comments about Fox News's Megyn Kelly.
During Thursday night's Republican primary debate, Ms Kelly, one of the debate moderators, pressed Mr Trump over his past comments about women. "You've called women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, disgusting animals," Ms Kelly averred.
Mr Trump didn't take kindly to being challenged at the time, and after the debate, he continued to protest his treatment on Twitter, where he even retweeted a comment calling Ms Kelly a "bimbo."
But it was Mr Trump's comments to CNN on Friday night that might have finally gone too far.
"You could see there was blood coming out of [Kelly's] eyes," he told CNN's Don Lemon. "Blood coming out of her wherever."
Most people interpreted this as a misogynistic comment about menstruation.
The truth is that it was Mr Trump who came out bleeding after that debate on Thursday night. And not just at the hands of Ms Kelly. Fox News's other moderators pressed him on a spate of issues, exposing to a huge viewing audience (24 million viewers) that the billionaire mogul is, in fact, not a conservative Republican.
