Trump can’t go now. In their statement Fox called him a terrorist!! For gawd sakes — they burned the damned bridge. Trump will now take a flame thrower to this entire gang of establishment RINOS. This is over!!
Mexican plants too?! Glad I don’t have to suffer through it. I don’t know what ‘breaking the law’ these people can’t seem to get.
I remember your post on that yesterday.
That made me snicker.
But if fails and doesn’t work — does it? In fact it shows he stands up to evil!!
Trump looks like a petulant little 3rd grader here. Presidential? Not so much.
You know - even Brett Baier (who I kinda like) is developing that Fox Smirk when talking to or about Trump.
Like him or not, he (Trump) is playing the media like a harp from hell.
Trump has nothing to gain by attending the debate.
Trump has everything to gain by not attending.
The country has everything to gain by Trump not attending as the act removes the media from the equation.
Fox is being put in a position of either bolstering Cruz(good in general,bad for GOPe) or taking Cruz down(a win for Trump).
To attack Trump when he is not there to defend himself will be perceived as cowardly and immoral, Trump wins in that scenario.
The fact is, Fox and The GOPe needs Trump more than Trump needs them.
From a strategic point of view, Trump should stick to his guns, the more they grovel the more he wins.
I am really enjoying this.
FOX called him a terrorist in their statement!@! He can’t possibly go on big mouth’s “show” !!
sure, but they are taking a big public hit on it, so they will do some loud PR squawking. The decision for the other networks is whether to parrot the Fox PR squawking or go with their vulture instincts. It seems at least to be a worthwhile gamble, since it is gonna happen no matter what if any of the candidates challenge the existing oligarchy
That has nothing to do with character, morals, ethics and honor, none of which he has.
I’m surprised at how FNC is handling this. To begin, they chose the wrong group to moderate. They then did nothing to remedy a growing problem with their image, and allowed Kelly to continue speaking about it and kept her on as a moderator.
They should have been working behind the scenes to allow everyone to save face and to assuage Trump’s anger regarding the outrageous treatment he received during the debate.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Ailes should lose his job.
Having the sleaziest of sleazbags Michael Moore on was over the line....as was the Putin. Ayatollah thing, no way should Trump be on the debate. Take their apology, but don’t go on. By having Michael Moore on to blabber his crap is the ultimate insult.
Instead he should take every non-fruitcake candidate with him to his townhall. I know that limits those that could go with him, but it should leave about 3. 1 for each moderator, should make things simple for them.
Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...Don’t do the debate Mr.Trump...
Americans, for decades, have had to watch these debates and squirm at the inappropriate, deeply personal and insulting questions delivered by panelists who are called
“journalists”. Ick.
Panelists must surely get bonuses based on the degree of viciousness they can issue.
Dare any of us even dream that debates be conducted with a little dignity and respect for the country, that contenders for the United States of America’s highest position might have the respect they deserve in a damn debate?
My highest hope is that the open warfare approach by the panelists against ALL contenders is chilled, in favor of an informative one that with dignity makes all of us look good.
I am always embarrassed that other countries see our debates so outrageously conducted.
And its a bad cycle for Pubs because six years ago was 2010 a wave election against Dems, the GOP has the hard seats tohold. Add that to Dem vote turnouts in POTUS years usually high and we may have an ugly situation.
Doesn't that make having a Cruz in the WH even more important than a dealer?
Their news side is already of excellent quality and improving daily. They are likely attracting new viewers at a tremendous rate. I am so glad that I found this alternative news source.
The Foxes do NOT own Trump.... and it is fun to watch these presstitutes get outed for the trash they are.
No! First off, Kelly is a ratings goldmine and is a jewel in the crown of the network and her pay reflects it. If Fox throws her under the bus, they will lose viewership and probably lose her to CNN and you'll see the beginning of a reversal in ratings rankings. It's simple leadership same as we did in the army. You've gotta back your people or you'll lose unit cohesion. The best way is to convince Trump (via his daughters) to attend. If he doesn't, no sweat. Reagan skipped his Iowa debate too and still won the election in a landslide.
