Megyn Kelly has revealed she met with Donald Trump on Wednesday at her request to 'clear the air' - and also to discuss a special broadcast that will air on Fox News next month.
The Fox News anchor was spotted walking into the private residence entrance of The Donald's New York City building by an NBC reporter, which a Trump source later confirmed to the network.
Kelly, who said in a Variety interview just last week she had not recently requested an interview with Trump, confirmed on The Kelly File that she had spoken with the Republican frontrunner.
Quipping that the doormen at Trump Tower 'were surprised to see me', Kelly said she discussed 'the possibility of an interview' with Trump, adding 'I hope we will have news to announce soon.'
She was said to be planning to reveal the results of the meeting Wednesday night on, her Fox News Channel program, but did not release any more information.



She said Trump was 'gracious' and that their hour-long meeting was 'at my request' and 'a chance to clear the air.'


She did not reveal any details of the forthcoming project and simply told viewers: 'Stay tuned'.

Trump also spoke about the meeting during an appearance on Hannity Wednesday night in Pittsburgh.
He smiled when host Sean Hannity mentioned Kelly's name and the crowd booed her, but then said; 'She called last week and they set up a meeting, thgey said, "Could we come up?" and I said, "Would you ncome to Trump Tower" because I didn't want any confussion.
'And she did. And she was very, very nice and we had a meeting and she was very nice. She really was.'
He then added; 'And by the way, in all fairness, I give her a lot of credit for doing what she did.'
It is thought Kelly is attempting to secure an interview with Trump for a TV special based on Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People due to air on May 23, The Daily Beast reports.
Announcing the slot, producers said the program 'will be personal in nature and address the year Kelly has had as one of the most prominent voices covering the 2016 presidential campaign.'
The two last came face-to-face during the the Fox News debate in March that was moderated by Kelly.
Fox News later confirmed the meeting as well, saying in a statement; 'FOX News Chairman & CEO Roger Ailes has spoken to Donald Trump a few times over the past three months about appearing on a Fox Broadcasting special with Megyn Kelly airing on May 23.
'Kelly requested a meeting with Mr. Trump, which took place at Trump Tower this morning. The results of that meeting will be revealed on tonight's Kelly File at 9PM/ET.
'Kelly has acknowledged in recent interviews that Trump is a fascinating person to cover and has electrified the Republican base.'

Kelly spoke about the media's treatment of Trump last Wednesday during an interview with Katie Couric, and suggested that his high poll numbers are the result of the amount of coverage he is given by news programs and journalists.
'Yes, we all have to worry about numbers to some extent. That's the reality of TV news in 2016. But we also have to worry about our souls, and journalism,' Kelly told Couric while being interviewed at the seventh annual Women in the World Summit.
Kelly went on to say that Trump's rise in the polls seemed to have a direct correlation to his coverage in the media.
'And then the media would sit there and say, 'It's amazing how the polls are just up, up,'' said Kelly.
'It's like, you're putting your thumb on the scale. It's not an anti-Trump thing. It's a responsibility as journalists thing.'
Kelly said that she spoke with her team ahead of the primaries about making sure coverage was equal for all candidates, telling them; 'When the post-mortem is done on the coverage of Donald Trump, wherever this race goes, let's make sure we're on the side of the angels.'
Kelly also said during the interview 'we don't do that for other candidates, so it's not fair.'
She also spoke about how in addition to being attacked by Trump she also receives 'vitriol' from his followers on social media.
'I try to stay off Twitter,' said Kelly.
'But of course it has bothered me, and it has gotten very ugly. I try to stay in my happy world.
'I don't like having to put my kids to bed and think about that vitriol, but I understand it's part of the job.'

Greeting his fans: Fox News said in a statement Kelly spoke to Trump about appearing in a special segment set to air on May 23

The Fox News host also sat down with Charlie Rose for an episode of CBS Sunday Morning that aired two weekends ago, and revealed that she was upset when O'Reilly failed to defend her against Trump's attacks when he pulled out of the Iowa debate she moderated in January.
Kelly did however say; 'I think Bill did the best he's capable of doing in those circumstances.'
She also criticized CNN for airing the event Trump was holding for veterans at the same time she was hosting the debate.
'There should have been a moment of solidarity among journalists that night to say, 'We will not allow ourselves to be bullied by a presidential front runner, even one as powerful and as ahead in the polls at that point as Trump was,'' said Kelly.
''This is about journalism and the First Amendment, and we will put the debate moderator out on the stage that we think is appropriate.'
'And I think it's a slippery slope when we don't stand shoulder to shoulder in those moments.'
Kelly went on to say that the best way to teach Trump a lesson would be to ban him from appearing on television, which she acknowledges is not possible.
'What he really wants is oxygen, you know, he wants television time,' said Kelly.
'So the only thing that is really meaningful to him, the only consequence that would actually have an effect on him, we cannot enact because it would be insane. You cannot ban the presidential front runner from a channel.'
The host of The Kelly File also has some positive things to say about Trump as well, saying of the Republican front-runner; 'Trump, if he could pull himself back in just somewhat, would be so effective.'
She then added; 'He's already been so effective. He could be so much more effective.'
At one point in the interview, Rose says to Kelly; 'Has anything about this campaign season made you want to throw up your arms and say, 'Politics has gone crazy in America!''
Kelly responds by saying; 'I've had the same feeling.'
Rose then asked Kelly about her feud with Trump and if the two even had a relationship before last August's debate when his attacks first began on the political commentator.
Kelly said she and Trump had no relationship before that debate, where her questions asking the presidential hopeful to address his negative comments about women and their appearance led to him saying the next day that she had 'blood coming out of her wherever.'
She then got into why she believes she is constantly at the receiving end of his vitriolic attacks.
'I think its very clear to him that he cannot control the editorial on my show or me in a debate or other settings,' said Kelly.
She then added that Trump is welcome to come on her show at any time.
It is now looking like that could happen very, very soon.

[h=1]'The system is rigged': widespread dissatisfaction among US voters[/h]


Three hundred readers who responded to a Guardian callout expressed serious misgivings about how the Republican and Democratic parties select nominees



An angry Donald Trump supporter in Colorado set fire to his Republican party registration card. The Democratic superdelegates supporting Hillary Clinton are fielding an influx of calls and emails from frustrated Bernie Sanders supporters putting pressure on them to switch candidates.
The rise of anti-establishment candidates like Sanders and Trump has thrown into sharp relief the mess of rules and processes deliberately designed to keep these candidates from clinching the nomination. For these voters, and the many more across the political spectrum just waking up to the ground rules of the highest-stakes game in the country, the primary races can seem horribly unfair.
“Why should the states, the party organizations and the voters go through all the hype, expense and time to have a primary when the party poobahs make the ultimate decision,” said Don Grafues, one of more than 300 readers who responded to a Guardian callout on voter dissatisfaction with the primary process.




In the callout, readers expressed serious misgivings about the way the parties select their nominees, describing the modern primary process as “rigged”, “undemocratic” and a “charade”. A preponderance of respondents who said they felt “cheated” are supporters of Trump or Sanders, the two candidates with broad appeal among voters who feel disenfranchised and excluded from inside-the-Beltway politics.
“Now that we have true grassroots, anti-establishment, populist candidates on both sides [Sanders and Trump], the political machine is in full survival mode to maintain the status quo,” wrote Chris Ritz, a Sanders supporter. “Party leaders sense a real and direct threat from both campaigns … and both major parties are going to use every tool they have to block what they feel is a threat to their very existence.”
Voter anxiety is exacerbated among Republicans who could in effect have their votes nullified if the candidates manage to hold off Trump and force a contested convention. Trump has skillfully played into this mounting sense of futility.
“The system is rigged,” the candidate said on Fox News, claiming that results of last week’s Colorado convention proved the process was designed to shut out insurgent candidates. “I see it now, 100%. And not just on our side, but I think it is worse on the Republican side.”
Last month, Trump warned that supporters could “riot” if he doesn’t secure the nomination at the party’s convention this summer.
These kinds of “shenanigans”, as Trump has called such efforts to obstruct him from winning the nomination, are exactly why Wendy Kranmer, of Turin, New York, is pessimistic about politics.
“The reason I never voted is because I thought of corruption,” Kranmer said, speaking before a Trump rally in Rome. “I thought maybe I was wrong or unfair, but it’s [the electoral process this year] kind of making me think there’s a lot of corruption and your voice doesn’t count.”
Yet she plans to vote, at age 52, for the first time ever, for Trump in the New York primary next week in hopes that it will count.
Meanwhile, Sanders’ rabid fanbase is confounded by the fact that after seven straight victories he has barely dented Clinton’s more than 200-delegate lead. Just this weekend, Sanders won Wyoming by a double-digit margin, yet each candidate walked away with seven delegates.
Sanders supporters are especially upset by the role of superdelegates, a constellation of elected officials and other party elites who can vote for whichever candidate they prefer at the convention – and most are backing Clinton.
“It’s insanely hypocritical for the party that protests voter ID laws to embrace other forms of elitist disenfranchisement,” wrote Jay Lindsey, a Democrat, referring to the superdelegate system.
Yet even without superdelegates, Clinton maintains a more than 200-plus delegate lead over Sanders, whose candidacy now hinges on his winning as many delegates as possible in the upcoming contests in New York, Pennsylvania and California.
While many disagree with the superdeleagte system, Sanders supporters are not above playing the game if it will help the socialist Democrat win the nomination. Even Sanders’ campaign has acknowledged that it is working to “flip” superdelegates.
Last week, Sanders supporter Spencer Thayer set up a “superdelegate hit list”, a website dedicated to helping his fellow supporters prod superdelegates to switch their allegiance to the Vermont senator. And an online petition asking superdelegates to align their choice with voters rather than party elites has gathered more than 207,000 signatures.
Voter anxiety over process is nothing new but it is particularly sharp this election year, noted political scientist David Karol, a professor at the University of Maryland.
“When races are more competitive, the rules matter more,” Karol said. “In most cases, it’s not such a close contest and the rules don’t matter as much. This election has been different.”
Karol said voters often don’t understand the origins of the modern primary process, which evolved from a time when party leaders selected the nominee at political conventions. In those days, he said, candidates like Trump and Sanders wouldn’t have had a remote chance of being their party’s nominee.
That Trump is the Republican party’s clear frontrunner and Sanders, who only recently declared himself a Democrat, is locked in a competitive race with Clinton, the party’s once-presumptive frontrunner, is a testament to just how open the parties have become.
“America’s political parties are really more open and more participatory than they’ve ever been in the sweep of our history,” he said.

Billy Boy is a blowhard, but, occasionally he shows signs of being realistic: I remember on Election Night 2012 he gently tried to get Dickhead Morris off of his ludicrous prediction that, not only was Romney gonna win, he was gonna win "YUGE," to quote somebody else, lol, and kinda like a schmuck on this forum named Scott...oh, wait, there are TWO schmucks named Scott around here. Agent Carter, then..

[h=1]O'Reilly: Trump Nomination Could Lead to GOP Getting 'Slaughtered' in November[/h]
In tonight's Talking Points Memo, Bill O'Reilly addressed whether the Republican Party is headed for crisis.
O'Reilly said that it's becoming clear that many major Republican politicians might not attend the convention in Cleveland this July.
"The party is split over Donald Trump, and he may very well secure the nomination."
He said that Trump's recent complaints about the delegate process being "rigged" shows that if the frontrunner does not get the nomination, "he will not go quietly into the night."
"His point is that votes from human beings should be the deciding factor in the primaries. But that has never been the case."



O'Reilly said that the delegate system now is "chaos" and needs to be reformed, though that won't happen this year.
"However, if Donald Trump is denied the nomination and has more votes than Ted Cruz or John Kasich, the Republican Party will fracture and Hillary Clinton will become the next president of the United States.
"So you can see how desperate the situation is if you don't believe Hillary Clinton is suitable for the presidency."
O'Reilly said that most polling backs up Trump opponents' claims that the frontrunner's support is "thin nationwide."
"So, if he does get the nomination, the Republican Party could very well be slaughtered next November. Not only on the presidential ticket, but also in the House and the Senate."
Watch the full commentary above.

What I find to be really comedic is when the dumbest, mentally unbalanced poster on the forum posts about the 'shortcomings' of other posters. Some people are so stupid they are completely unaware that they embarrass themselves with nearly every post.




Kudos to Megyn Kelly. Very few people would have the nerve to make that phone call.

[h=6]- APRIL 14, 2016 -[/h][h=1]TRUMP CALIFORNIA POLITICAL DIRECTOR: ‘WE HAVE ALREADY OUTMATCHED’ CRUZ[/h]Breitbart
Tim Clark, hand-picked by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump this week to be his new California political director, told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview Wednesday evening that the Trump campaign has “already outmatched" Sen. Ted Cruz in the Golden State.
“I’ve only been on the job for the past 24 hours,” Clark said, “but it is a large, grassroots, unstoppable, momentous movement that is elevating Donald Trump in the state.”
On Monday, Cruz’s own California political director, former state GOP chair Mike Schroeder, speculated that the Trump campaign would fail to find enough delegates to fill three slots in each of the state’s 53 congressional districts by the May 8 deadline.
Clark told Breitbart News that the Trump campaign would easily meet that deadline.
“We’ve got a list of about a thousand people who would love to be delegates for Donald Trump,” he said, noting that the campaign was “vetting these names very carefully.”
He added: “Based on what I know of what’s happening in California, the organic Trump for President movement has already outmatched the organized, paid Cruz for President effort, and I feel very strongly we’re going to be able to leverage the Trump for President volunteers into even greater activities, so I’m not worried about it.”
Clark called the Trump campaign in California “a large, grassroots, unstoppable, momentous movement that is elevating Donald Trump in the state.”
When asked which districts the campaign would be targeting, Clark said the campaign considered every one of them to be competitive: “We’ve got 53 districts that are in play. We have the task of building 53 different campaign plans for each of those districts–which we’re doing. And we intend to contest every single one of those … we believe we can win all 53 and take home 172 delegates.”
Some analysts suggest that the Trump campaign could struggle in California, given that its presidential primary is “closed” — i.e. that only registered Republicans can participate. Clark seemed unfazed by the challenge that posed to a campaign that has relied elsewhere on crossover voters.
“We’ll have a lot of voters re-register,” he said. “We’ve had in the state for the last two decades an exodus from the Republican Party to “decline to state” to non-partisan, and those Republicans have been dispirited because there hasn’t been movement on our issues, our core issues, in Washington D.C., which is fiscal conservatism.
“We’re sending the message to them that it’s time for these Republicans to come on home and re-register back in our party, because we have a candidate that’s going to finally get the job done,” he said.
Clark added that he expected high turnout. “Well, it’s an exciting time, it’s an exciting campaign. I’ve been in this business 22 years, and I haven’t seen a lot that has energized and excited Republicans, and it’s nice to have excitement back on our side. That excitement is being generated for Donald Trump. It’s a momentous time.”
Trump announced Wednesday that he will deliver the kickoff address for the California Republican Party convention on April 29. Cruz and Ohio governor John Kasich are also addressing the convention.
Clark said: “This is the first of many announcements of Trump visits to California.

Brings back lasting memeories of my college days many years ago. Kappa Alpha (KA) was the fraternity of the South.
I had as many friends in KA as I had in Sigma Nu which I pledged as only those coming from south of the Mason-Dixon
Line were eligible to become KA brothers. This was way before 'political correctness' began to rule the day.

Way back then their big event of the year was the 'Light Cavalry Ball' where all members dressed in confederate uniforms and danced
to the war songs of the south all night long.

At Tulane where this photo was taken, they stated today the Wall 'had a unintended negative effect and as such it has been dismantled.'


According to the fraternity's website, KA was founded in 1865 and Robert E Lee, who is
known for commanding the Confederate Army in the Civil War, is listed as its spiritual founder.

In 2010, the national fraternity chapter ordered an official ban on fraternity's members
wearing Confederate soldier uniforms to its annual Old South Ball.

In a document titled 'Laws concerning Old South', KA also prohibits
the display of the Confederate flag from 'any chapter house, lodge, or meeting place.'

Is this really the way to make America Great?
