Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will not be attending Thursday's Republican presidential debate.
However, Trump's decision may be justified in light of an invitation from Fox News and Google to three carefully selected citizens, who are all prominent personalities on YouTube.
-snip-
The second individual, Dulce Candy, is an immigrant from Mexico, a former U.S. military servicewoman, and a Latina. Trump's commitment to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico could very well be a topic of her discussions with the candidates.
The third individual, Nabela Noor, is a Muslim American who is an outspoken critic of anyone who, like Trump, questions the motivations of Muslims, Muslim immigrants, Islam, and jihad. Noor, who reportedly equated Trump with Adolf Hitler, will most likely address Muslim-related issues with the candidates. Quite possibly, Noor will question Trump's plan to temporarily close U.S. immigration to Muslims. Noor states she uses her voice to combat what she perceives as negative stereotypes of Muslims, a phenomena she states is more prevalent.

And if her lovely voice doesn't work, she'll blow you up.
Fox is in the Henhouse
But I'm betting the questions will include Trump statements (out of context) and Fox's goal will still be to nail Trump to a wall and people will turn the damn thing off..
Fools....
Megyn....XO
I read this morning they also invited a Bernie Sanders supporter to question the Candidates.
Just like when Larry King provided Stephanopolous a phone number to call in and ask ‘gotcha’ questions of Bush (1) during a live interview.
Fox is doing all they can to stir up controversy while making the GOP look bad in the process. This is shameless promotion of what they hope will become a circus that sells advertising.
Just more evidence here the GOPe is in the tank for Trump.
WASHINGTON TIMES has a story up: “Republican Party scraps convention rules change after warned by TRUMP”.
(I found it via lucianne.com.) Would you be interested in posting it. Sorry, I can not.
Romney fixed the rules in 2012 to block the Ron Paul forces, by coming up with the 8 state win rule, in order to be eligible for the nomination.
At the recent Republican winter meeting there was an attempt to suggest a rules change for the Convention in July to lower the bar to I think it said five states.
Plainly, with TRUMP, the 8 State Rule will have backfired on the Establishment in 2016. TRUMP objects to the Rules change midstream, saying all campaigns already set strategy for 8 states and know the rule. Changing the Rule at the Convention is illegal.
If you read the article, the event is sponsored by google as well as Fox.
One can logically wonder if the perceived unbalance is not the input of Google?
I think this came out 2 days ago.... Maybe 3.
I don’t know why Trump’s people aren’t making more of this aspect instead of letting everyone turn it into a personal ‘thing’ with Megyn Kelly
I thought FOX had Saudi investors, too.
And Trump knew....it was going to be an ambush and said “screw you”. A muslim( native born or an import?) democRAT operative and an illegal alien democRAT operative asking questions at a Republican Presidential Sunday Morning Talk Show.....because it isn’t a debate and not with those democRAT plants.
I’ll say it again. Trump operates at levels above what we are used to. He says he will make deals with Pelosi and democrats and people go “he’ going to flip to democrat”. No, Trump will get them to do what he wants them to do. That is called leadership - we’ve been without it for so long in DC we don’t remember what it is. Trump has been getting people to do what he wants them to do his entire life, his successful business is clear proof of that.
Thinking “deals” means status-quo compromising is very shallow analysis.
Thinking all “tariffs” means is the cost of our goods will go up is very shallow analysis. Tariffs are a negotiating tool - against currency manipulation and unfair trade imbalance. Tariffs are no necessarily the end result - they are a tool to get an end result. This is what I mean by Trump thinking and operating levels above what we are used to.
This run in with Fox is a demonstration of leadership, unpredictability, intuition, and independence - all leadership qualities.
I think Prince Talal sold his interest and besides, that is not relevant
Also, Trump’s understanding of the Art of War.

This Rule 40 is what I call the Dirty Tricks Corridor
Ms. Noor, please help me understand how a solution to the problem of Islamic terror cannot involve consequences which sadly, may have to accrue to all Muslims. Can we read minds? How do we know "good" Muslims from bad, when walking into a shopping mall, or getting on a plane? You are advocating that we not profile all Muslims, but do we have any choice?
The radicals who commit atrocities in the name of your god are not being shamed by people like you. When Muslims speak out, it is not to offer a solution to the problem within their own religion, but to shame US for a perfectly sane reaction to terror. We don't know which of you are the problem, we just know we can be killed at any moment by someone who says they embrace the same god that you embrace.
Perhaps a measure that bans immigration from Muslim countries will harm innocents, but that apparently is what is needed to motivate the "good" Muslims to excise the problems within their own culture, not ask us to risk life and limb because you refuse to do so.
I would rather that Trump face the "questions", the attacks, in this manner, than refuse to attend. Perhaps he feels he won't be given the chance?
——Trump will get them to do what he wants them to do. -——
Shallow minds can’t comprehend that concept.
in my mind, Trump will make offers that dare not be refused
