Trump: It’s Hard for the Women to ‘Attack Me on Looks Because I Am So Good Looking’

TAPPER: “So, I want to start by playing for you what Jeb Bush said yesterday in response to your comments about Megyn Kelly. Take a listen.”

BUSH: “Come on. Give me a break. I mean, are we - do we want to win? Do we want to insult 53 percent of all voters? (Cheering and applause) What Donald Trump said is wrong. That is not how we win elections. And, worse yet, that is not how you bring people together to solve problems. That is not the way to do it. So, your decision, I think, was the right one. Mr. Trump ought to apologize.”

ERICKSON: “Thank you.” (Cheering and applause)

TAPPER: “Mr. Trump, your response to Jeb Bush?”

TRUMP: “Well, I think it's amazing, because, three days ago, he was talking so negatively about women's health issues. And I thought it was disgraceful, frankly. And I think that will go down to haunt him, and maybe be the same as Romney's 47 percent, which possibly cost him the election. Jeb was very negative on women's health. And when you're negative on women's health, you can forget about it. And I'm the exact opposite. I cherish women. I want to help women. I'm going to do things for women that no other candidate will be able to do. And it's very important to me. So, you know, it's sort of interesting. He then went back and apologized the following day, and said he misspoke. Well, he really did misspeak, and I thought it was disgraceful. So now he's telling me, or telling you, about what was said. Well, let me ask you, what was said? She was very angry because I bested her with a question that was a very fair - unfair question. So, she was very angry. And when I was speaking about it on a CNN show, by the way, which was interesting, but I was speaking about her, I said blood was pouring from her eyes or out of her eyes, which is a very common statement. And, by the way, I said the same thing about Chris Wallace.”

TAPPER: “That's right.”

TRUMP: “Nobody said anything.”

TAPPER: “You did.”

TRUMP: “But I said the exact same thing about Chris Wallace.”
