He’s going to be doing a wounded veterans fund raiser instead.

Are you serious? If so, it would be a fantastic thumb of the nose to all the establishment.

Fox is going to lose millions of dollars in ad revenue.

If I am working in sales and corporate side of Fox I am furious with the idiotic news department for that stupid insulting statement levelled at Trump.

After they fired that off Trump had no choice but to pull out. Now FOX has to walk back and give Trump something in return.

The $64,000 question is who at FOX wrote that infantile, unprofessional “statement”?

Murdoch split shares with family

It’s debatable

Without FOX NEWS and the occasional hit movie Ruperts empire would stumble

FOX NEWS return on investment is exponential

It is the Golden Goose for that side of News Corp....called 21st Century Fox now I think

The newspaper side was split off 2 years ago and is in serious decline

Newspapers....Murdoch is stuck mentally there and won’t face it

Lachlan and James will though

Rupert net worth estimated....including family....10-12 billion

Trump estimated ...family as well.....4-9 billion

Ruperts is easily determined by shares held and market value

Most of Trumps is private commercial real estate and much more subjective

What if it read “We have leaned that Cruz was born into a family of Religious fanatics, and he thinks he’s the Seventh King”. Wouldn’t that be hilarious?

I’m a Cruz supporter. If the reports are true that Fox was planning to integrate antagonists into the debate, I do believe Trump made the right decision.

The emails from Fox were bush league and Preibus should have stepped in to stop this.

I believe skipping it was exactly the right decision. I’ll be watching where ever he is, will not watch the debate. :) Finally, someone who is not afraid to stand up.

No better way to deal with a bush league candidate.

Trump could tell Murdock, “OK I’ll debate, but 100% of the ad revenue goes to support veterans”.

After further thought, here are my thoughts on the matter.

If you want to be hired for a job, you have to show up at the interview.

If you don’t show up at the interview, then you can’t be surprised when you don’t get hired.

Even if one of the interviewers at the place of employment is a complete d*ck, you still have to show up and deal with that person, even if you don’t like it.

Even if you stage your own interview in lieu of showing up at the actual interview, that won’t count.

Additional analysis-

Even though Kelly tried to railroad him last time, what she succeeded in doing was railroading herself and boosting Trump.

There should be no question that she could ask that he can’t come up with a witty response to, or a detailed answer, or a scolding, or even silence as a response. It’s up to him to demonstrate how he can handle adversity.

Bottom line-

I hope he shows up. I think not showing up will be a tactical error that could hurt his candidacy.

That’s fundamentally kicking you candidates butt.
