Trump Toys With 'Bimbo' Slam in Megyn Kelly Feud

The Donald Trump fight with Fox News and Megyn Kelly wasn't simmering down Wednesday, a day after Trump bowed out of Thursday night's debate. Related coverage:

• "I refuse to call Megyn Kelly a bimbo, because that would not be politically correct. Instead I will only call her a lightweight reporter!" Yep, that's a Trump tweet.
• Is his decision to skip the debate brilliant or stupid? Yes. Vox runs through the arguments on both sides of that coin.
• The New York Times suggests that Trump's spokesman is sounding a little less definitive Wednesday about the debate boycott.

• A normal candidate who did this might be seen as un-presidential, but Trump, of course, isn't a normal candidate. The AP has an analysis.
• If you missed Trump's full statement on this decision, Chris Cillizza at the Washington Post provides an annotated version. Even by Trumpian standards, it's "amazing."
• Fox unleashed its own statement about the "terrorizations" of Trump, and Mediaite notes that the network was having fun with some "first-rate trolling" of him.
• Prediction: "And you KNOW Roger Ailes will rub it in by placing an empty podium at center stage," says the Playbook blog at Politico.
• You know who else skipped a debate before Iowa? A guy named Reagan, that's who. Bloomberg points it out.
• Ted Cruz is happily calling Trump a coward.
