<p>Donald Trump&#8217;s recent clashes with Fox personality and debate moderator Megyn Kelly were cause enough for ultraconservative RedState CEO Erick Erickson to dis-invite him from his speaking engagement at the RedState Gathering 2015 currently underway.  ;</p>
<p>Trumps reportedly tweeted insulting remarks about Kelly, including the following:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;The biggest loser in the debate was @megynkelly. You can&#8217;t out trump Donald Trump. You will lose!</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;Fox viewers give low marks to bimbo @MegynKelly will consider other programs!&#8221;</em></p>
<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m getting a lot of @MegynKelly hatemail tonight. #GOPDebate&#8221; She is totally overrated and angry. She really bombed tonite&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In a CNN interview, Mr. Trump said of Kelly, <em>&#8220;You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever.&#8221; </em>He later clarified saying he meant &#8220;whatever&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Erickson sent the following message &#8220;I have rescinded my invitation to Mr.Trump. While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far &mdash; Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) August 8, 2015&#8221;  ;</p>
<p>&#8211; and further &#8220;I have tried to give a great deal of latitude to Donald Trump in his run for the Presidency. He is not a professional politician and is known for being a blunt talker. He connects with so much of the anger in the Republican base and is not afraid to be outspoken on a lot of issues. But there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. Decency is one of those lines.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump was also chastised by fellow Republican primary candidate Carly Fiorina, who tweeted: &#8220;Mr. Trump: There. Is. No. Excuse.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s analysis:</strong>  ;The clash of ;Mr. Trump and Ms. Kelly was not unexpected, but he will have to start watching his words a bit.  ;This is not fatal by any means, and a clash at this level is seriously the best thing that could happen to Megyn Kelly.  ;She is already primetime, her audience will grow because of it. Everyone knows the record 24 million viewers for the debate was because of Mr. Trump. ;</p>
<p>The bigger issue for Mr. Trump is even though he is polling at #1, he was dis-invited from RedState.  ;The RedState Gathering is a small but prestigious ultra-conservative group (I once heard Erickson say he would never be friends with someone who wasn&#8217;t 100% pro-life).  ; To me, this means Mr. Trump hasn&#8217;t gained the trust of the vocal and influential hardcore and knowledgeable political right. We have commented on this before, it will be tough going if Mr. Trump doesn&#8217;t fix this.</p>
