Fox is stuck. Trump won’t reverse, he has face to save too. The debate will go on unless Fox cancels it. The other candidates are painted in too, by claiming Trump is a chicken. They can’t bail without becoming what they claim Trump is.

I agree 100%. Ailes has screwed himself and the whole media world is watching. He was playing stupid and he is done for. Trumps doesn’t need him. He has nothing to offer in this deal.

That's the way I see it also. If Roger Ailes were to pull Megyn Kelly from the debate, Fox News would lose all credibility. I don't think the other candidates would want to bail. If Trump is absent, he can't dominate the stage, giving the rest of the pack a better opportunity to make their own case. Also, Trump will be giving them a talking point to use throughout the night - "Donald Trump can't even face the moderators at tonight's debate - is he going to throw temper tantrums like this when he's in the White House?" I still think Trump will find a reason to reverse course, and participate in the debate. If Trump doesn't show, the big winner will be Megyn Kelly.

Save face? He won by not showing up.

The bottom line is, once again the Democrats somehow or other end up looking mature and competent compared to the Republicans.

We are living in an alternate universe.
