37. It was a legitimate question

and your comments on women being touchy and women's periods are so stupid I don't know where to begin. How is it relevant, even? It sounds like you "met a woman one time."

As for his comments, they were very publicly made on television and his Twitter, and it was fair of her to ask her question. The other candidates have not publicly made such crude remarks about women. (and these words she quoted are hardly "every word" he ever said about the women - there is a trove of remarks online, she only picked a few.)

and why are we assuming that the questions asked by the moderators were necessarily *their* own questions?
