The GOP front-runner was disinvited from the conservative RedState conference after [criticizing](http://time.com/3989652/donald-trump-megyn-kelly-blood-wherever/) the debate moderator, as his rivals were forced to address his comments that were apparently critical of women.

Meanwhile, **Bernie Sanders** is continuing to draw record crowds on the campaign trail. Protests marking one year after the shooting of unarmed black man Michael Brown by a white police officer, were interrupted by a hail of bullets late Sunday, with an alleged gunman shot and critically injured by police. **President Obama** said in an interview that he feels additional urgency to address the divide between police and the communities they serve in his waning time in office, but maintained he would have responded to Ferguson the same way if it happened during his first term.
