LOL! That’s funny cuz they called and apologized to him. They wanted him back on the show! Why would they do that if they hadn’t done anything wrong?

Looks like they didn’t get what THEY wanted, either.

That’s the art of the deal...you don’t have to accept a bad deal. You go on your merry way and do something else.

Let’s see what Fox & Trump do in the future. It’s really not over till the -———(fill in the blank) lady sings!

Yo, Issy. Really good post. See ya on Monday evening!

I tell you what, if you want to talk about "losing the deal", check this out flyer Cruz just sent out in Iowa. When this hits the Iowa TV stations Monday, it's gonna be all she wrote for Cruz:

This article is so loaded with spin, I’m amazed you got it to post without it running off the keyboard and down the hall.

Speaking of spin...

[SeaHawkFan]

Why are the Trumpetitems now trashing publications they once admired.

[ripnbang]

The funny is large with this one.

[SeaHawkFan]

Doesn’t look like an apology to me. Trump overplayed his hand and tried to get back in the debate without admitting that he made a mistake.

An why is Trump so afraid of Megyn Kelly?

[Windflier]

I smell desperation.

Why you sweatin’, bro?

He's got the highest recorded negatives recorded for a politician since Gallup began polling in 1992.

But at least he earned it, the old-fashioned way:

"If I told the real stories of my experiences with women, often seemingly very happily married and important women, this book would be a guaranteed best-seller..."

"Beautiful, famous, successful, married; I've had them all, secretly, the world's biggest names."

-- Donald "The Bimbo" Trump

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

All public records.

Is Trump going to copy Cruz again?

[Salamander]

Funny “ha ha” or Funny “odd”?

;D

There is true desperation going on here. The article is based completely on a false narrative. It is hardly worth commenting on. This had little to do with Megyn Kelly and Mr. Trump made no serious attempt to get back in the debate after pulling out. He demanded FOX donate $5,000,000 to a veterans’ charity if they wanted him back; which he most likely knew they would not comply with. He probably would have settled for less but he was willing to walk away if they would not negotiate.

It seems likely that not going to the debate and holding his own event was a good move. It was amazing he could put together a worthwhile event on such short notice. No matter how it turns out on Monday... it was a gutsy move and people are getting tired of politicians who are afraid to put anything on the line.

Compare and contrast with the respectful letter Trump which included a registration form.
