Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Tuesday night he regrets attacking Carly Fiorina for her appearance and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) for being a prisoner of war.

Asked if he regrets those off color remarks, Trump said, “Yeah, I guess so, but you have to move forward.”

He continued: “But to look back and say, ‘gee whiz, I wish I didn’t do this or that,’ I don’t think that’s good. I don’t even think, in a certain way, I don’t even think that’s healthy.”

  1. This was the big Trump/Kelly interview they’ve been pimping for weeks?

  2. He regrets the backlash, not the insulting.

  3. Yeah, I guess so

    Quick, someone get me a Kleenex…

  4. “Yeah, I guess so” is not the equivalent of “I regret insulting John McCain and Carly Fiorina”. It’s more like a petulant child being ordered to apologize to someone by their mother…

    “Donny, are you sorry you hit John?” “Yeah, I guess so”
