I think you are burying the lead. In his interview with Lemon, Trump said that Kelly had: “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”
Trump later tried to say that what he meant by "her whatever" was her nose, but even ultra conservatives like Eric Erickson at Red State (extreme right wing political blog) understood that he clearly was saying that Kelly was OTR Erickson has revocked his previous invitation to Trump to speak at a conservative-fest where many other top GOP candidates will be exhibited, writing: “I have tried to give a great deal of latitude to Donald Trump in his run for the Presidency. But there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross. Decency is one of those lines.” http://www.buzzfeed.com/jimdalrympleii/donald-trump-megyn-kelly-had-blood-coming-out-of-her-whereve#.ro4p13aVM Trump is a clown and an asshole, and Republican voters should be ashamed of themselves for giving him so much oxygen. But I think he probably is right that the FN employees at the debate-like event in Ohio, and movement conservatives focusing on beating Hillary in the Fall, are starting to move against him. It has been noted on this list that FN's interest in ratings and spectacle have been at odds with the GOP's interest in finding an electable candidate for president - I think we are starting to see that conflict get resolved. My part of the social media universe has been divided between those who though the FN questioners were embarrassing, and those who thought they asked surprisingly tough questions. I think both are right. They were not functioning as journalists asking candidates about their positions; they were functioning as Human Resource Professionals asking tough questions during a job interview. Most of the questions were variations on "What makes you think you are the one who is going to help us win back the White House"? It is this focus that makes me think that even though he was so bland, Jeb was the winner - because the more the Republicans focus on who can beat Hillary, and the less they focus on who can best give vent to our primitive and irrational rage and resentment, the better Jeb looks.
