Lewandowski: Trump May Stage Townhall if Fox Won’t Dump Megyn
Breitbart ^ | 1/24/2016

Posted on 01/24/2016 11:29:16 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

With just five days until Fox News airs the final GOP debate before the Iowa Caucuses, Donald Trump is reigniting his war with Megyn Kelly. "Based on ‪@MegynKelly's conflict of interest and bias she should not be allowed to be a moderator of the next debate," Trump tweeted while campaigning in Iowa on Saturday.

Trump's feud with Kelly has been one of the most memorable storylines of this raucous GOP primary. In recent weeks, it has heated up. In a lengthy Vanity Fair profile this month, Kelly boasted of writing the now famous debate question about Trump's history of misogynic comments, which ignited the feud this summer. And last week, Kelly sarcastically brought up Sarah Palin's Trump endorsement, as well as hosted National Review editor Rich Lowry to promote the National Review's anti-Trump issue.

Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, indicated that Trump could walk away from the debate if Fox won't exclude Kelly. "Let's see what happens," he told me. "It's fair to say Mr. Trump is a significant ratings driver for these debates. If we aren't on stage for some reason, they wouldn't have the record 24 million viewers and would be back with 1-2 million people."

I care because people cite him as a rags-to-riches story.

Taking a $200 million company to billions, while defaulting on over $4 billion in debt along the way isn’t the record of a great businessman.

It’s the record of a great conman.

Think Bernard Madoff.

Not hardly.

4 out of hundreds of high risk deals is a success rate of about 97%.

I wish I had a 97% success rate investing in stocks and bonds, much less something high risk.

Has Ted had success rate of 97% with the bills he’s introduced?

Bbbwwwwaaaahhhaaaaa!

Yes, comparing defaulting on billions of debt and leaving others holding the bag is very comparable to votes in the Senate.

I notice you didn’t ask about Ted’s success rate in arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court - which I think Trust Fund Donnie believes is Diana Ross’s entourage.

That's a really bizarre straw man argument.

And inherently illogical due to him being a NATIONAL candidate for President of our NATION who will be appearing on a NATIONALLY syndicated network at the NATIONAL debate for the Republican Party where a NATIONALLY known reporter is going to be the moderator who wants to destroy Trump in the minds of the NATIONAL viewing audience.

If Trump shows up he'd better be ready for Kelly when she says "So, Mr. Trump. I'm glad you decided to show up."

All he has to say is, "Well, Megyn, I didn't want you to lose your job because the ratings for the debate went into the tank."

Why not? Fox has about 40 other hot blondes they could trot out.

And would probably get better ratings.

A townhall type TV show with Trump answering questions would benefit him far greater than participating in the debate, which is akin to watching a rerun.

G-d, he’s done it again. She’s on notice to be nice. He will never pass up the last debate before Iowa. That would be stupid. Rather, he throws out that she is biased. Fox, of course will NOT drop her, unless they want to get rid of her. Trump will then back down and show up, because to not show up would be dumb. On the other hand, to instead, at the very same time, do a large town hall meeting? Don’t know. Americans love the under dog.

What she last week was to double down on him. She clearly is not impartial. She hates the man, and it’s obvious to everyone. She’s the female Glen Beck in that regard.

>>All with five or six inch heels. Most of them look slutty. I remember a time when pictures of Kelly that are out there would have been a career killer.

Back when journalists reported the story and didn’t try to BE the story?

How so?

Does Donald Trump's wasting time on feuds with reporters look like the best use of his time and our attention?

I'm keeping an open mind about Trump, but if he's going be distracted by feuds like this it could mean that he won't have as much time and energy to devote to getting real things done for the country.
