It's not FOX News, Trump is afraid

I think he's a baby the way he is acting about Megyn Kelly. First of all the question he is complaining about was completely fair and he should have been able to knock that answer out of the park instead of whining about it.
Saying that, I think he's smart for not doing this debate. The debates are a joke. Too many candidates and Trump really has little to gain by participating at this point. He's done 5 or 6 of them already. He will probably get more mileage out of skipping than participating. I think Cruz loses the most by this move, but also I think he is likely the only candidate that is a strong enough orator that he might be able to eloquently get in a few jabs at Trump and win some support. So it will be interesting to see how Cruz plays it.

I don't really think it's either. I think this move may well hurt him in Iowa, but it won't elsewhere.
He's completely dominated the news for two days. He knows what he's doing.
His enemies list is going to make nixon's look like child's play.
im scared to death about him being president but I hate politicians so much I want them to take it on the chin. He sure makes it hard to support him sometimes but I want to stick it to the liberal pc crowd and the waste of space republican crowd. Plus the rest of the world will freak out.

I have no idea how this plays in votes and polls. But for me personally, it doesn't play well. He comes across to me as a big pussy on this deal.
Yes, he's been ahead of the curve on the media this whole time, but his supporters probably also tend to be FOX news watchers and Megan Kelly fan boys. He does this to CNN, and it's genius. Doing it to Megan Kelly is not genius media manipulation. it's dumb.
It may not matter, but on this, he comes off as a clown to me and moved himself down my list.

Republican frontrunner Donald Trump once complimented Fox News host Megyn Kelly for her performance moderating a GOP debate in 2011.
Trump spoke to Kelly in 2011 about his frustration with candidates refusing to participate in a debate he was set to host with NewsMax. The businessman implied the Republican candidates declining invitations to attend his debate lacked “courage.”
He then heaped praise on Kelly. “Do you really think you’re a better moderator than I am?” Kelly asked.
“No,” Trump promptly replied. “I could never beat you. That wouldn’t even be close. That would be no contest.”The billionaire added, “You have done a great job, by the way. And I mean it.”
Trump’s 2011 comments surfaced on the Internet late Tuesday after his[URL='http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2016/01/26/donald-trump-says-he-most-likely-will-not-participate-in-fox-news-debate/']campaign announcedhe would not participate in Fox News’ Thursday debate.At a news conference, Trump said his decision was in part influenced by the network’s refusal to remove Kelly as a moderator.

I'm throwing a red flag on your Fox/Megan comment about supporters. The populace is pissed, as it should be, but it applies to both sides of the aisle (feel the Bern). Trump's a master-media-manipulator, and it appeals to a broad base not necessarily tied to Fox.
Trump was on O'Reilly tonight, and he's not fit to serve. The last thing this country needs is another narcissist douche-bag to follow the eight years of the narcissist douche-bag in residence.
I think the Don's move is a total Alpha play. It further cements him as the 'outsider' and anti-establishment candidate.
Hell, painting FOX as part of the establishment is f'ing brilliant. He'll win the republican nomination now AND will crush Hill in the general.
I predict Trump will be our next president.

Fox is part of the establishment.
Trump is entertaining, but putting him in the White House is almost the same as if Baynor were there.

If trump is president you cannot post any sarcastic exaggerated stereotypes for his entire term. Basically you can't be you and brother bear has to pick up the slack in that department.
If Hillary Clinton is president I won't act like you for her entire term.

But the exaggerated stereotypes are in response to the constant litany of "liberals think" and "liberals believe" points constantly posted on here. Nobody ever has an issue with those points, though. Huh.
We don't need a bet to stop that -- conservatives just have to stop!
Chi obviously doesn't really believe his own prediction.
