Hahahaha! Good for him, my GAFs are fresh out for Fox and their overcrowded meaningless debates.

They should have kept it to the top 5 and made it a relevant discussion, not a wrestle mania type back and forth between polling leaders and GOPe one percenters.

What fool would show up to the debate after this?

The statement from a FOX News spokesperson read: "We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president. A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings."

Trump said that response was "written by a child."

More than that, have you watched Kelly's show lately? However painful, I keep tabs on it. Her show was a walk-in for anyone who wrote in the Anti-Trump magazine. She consistently, I mean almost nightly, has anti-Trump people who go after him with fire and brimstone. She asks leading questions and gets out of the way and lets them fire away at Trump.

“Actually get to here from a few adults.”

Like maybe someone that know how to use the word ‘hear’ instead of ‘here’.

This is bad: it paves the way for Jebbie and Barbara to begin the long expected surge.

“This is not a reliable candidate.”

This is someone that’s not a wimp that is at the mercy of the press.

If this succeeds, he has totally destroyed the media.

He just performed a hysterectomy on MK and Murdoch!

“He’s hardly afraid of Meghan Kelly. She’s not an impartial moderator having helped National review launch their anti Trump issue. Put soneone else in her place.”

Fox has no obligation to bow at the alter of the Cult of Trump. Every candidate in politics has to field tough questions — often from hostile reporters. It’s part of the game. If he can’t handle it, he’s not fit to be POTUS.

All that said — there’s no way i heck he’s going to miss the debate. He’s just doing his usual predictable attention-getting ploy, which is getting pretty old. In the end, he’ll claim Fox made some kind of concession (whether they do or not) and he’ll be there. In the mean time, he gets his cult followers all excited cause he’s “not playing by their rules”, or whatever.

If Cruz had done it, you would be calling it a brilliant Jedi move and that it shows that he is fearless.

Good point; couldn't help but laugh at the faux religion.

I don’t believe it. It would be IA suicide.

After the press conference, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski confirmed to The Washington
Post that Trump would “definitely not” participate in Thursday’s Fox News debate.

“He’s definitely not participating in the Fox News debate,” Lewandowski said.
“His word is his bond.”

He said Trump would remain in Iowa as planned and would instead host an event in
the state to raise money for wounded warriors and other veterans groups.

Trump will still dominate the debate and win the Drudge poll.

Agreed. He’s going to do something for vets. We’ll see which event draws more viewers. He saw a sandbag coming.

I think you have your message mixed up. It is Cruz who stutters and stammers and lies. Not Donald.

What was Rupert thinking by issuing those press releases?

Without Trump, this will be the least watched debate of all time. All eyes will be on whatever he is staging that night. Too funny!

She’s got a pointed chin and looks like an alien. I used to think she looked pretty good but she’s gone through an attitude adjustment that’s visible to viewers and is personally annoying.
