Trump just announced he is not doing the debate this week. Seems that along with not liking Megyn Kelly, Fox just issued some email that insulted him. Some message about Putin and him.
He said he will likely not change his mind.

I’m pretty sure, if FR is any indication, he already has the whiner vote.
Best election ever!
…………………………………..
Yep! Just wait till Hilary gets indicted. This whole thing goes Defcon 4
If he pulls out, it’ll be because he needs cover for losing Iowa.
This was a very bold move, by Trump.
Let’s see what happens.
He sounds like he’s not going.
Trump does not need the media they need him. Nobody is going to watch a debate without Trump. Everybody will watch the Trump townhall. Megyn Kelly is a MSM Ho that has never backed off attacking him by having attack guests on almost every night.
He said he has done 6 debates and won all of them so why does he need to do another. Whatever that email said it was the straw that broke the back.
Some reporter tried to ask a question after misquoting him and he shut him down completely. Told the reporter to get lost. You could tell who the boss was.
I am scared.
I don’t want a liberal like Trump to win the Republican primary just because he’s a good liar.
Many of these responses are too funny. Mr. Trump is tiresly running from one event to the next, expending massive amounts of personal energy, time and resources. Do you acrually believe that he does not meet with advisors to form a strategy; one not only to win, but expose those that have harmed our country, our electorate? A candidate, finally who knows how to beat the liberals in their own game, and so many on our side cannot stand it. No wonder why we are in this mess.
Good. He’s going to get so much publicity from this that he won’t have to spend another nickel for weeks.
He said something about Fox playing kindergarten games with their email.
Fox News responded in a statement given to Mediaite, saying:
We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”
In a similar statement released Monday, a Fox News spokesperson said the network was “surprised he’s willing to show that much fear about being questioned by Megyn Kelly,” and suggesting that one day, the presidential candidate would have to learn that he doesn’t get to pick which journalists cover him.
Surely you meant you could tell who the baby was.
In that FOX interview, did I just hear him mix up Iran and Cuba? Sounded like it, but I was cooking at the same time so I”m not sure.
Trump was HARD on Megyn Kelly.
What are you talking about.
Trump was all over her. I just watched it.
This is very interesting. He says he won’t show. Let’s see what happens.
BS! this man has gone on every liberal network show there is and you have the nerve to call him scared? How jaded are you?
If Trump forfeits, Fox will respond simply by ceasing to pay him any attention.
He relies on free Fox coverage.
Trump would then vanish into the night.
Hooray for Trump
I assume he will tweet his comments throught and draw more news coverage than the debate!
That’s pretty bad. Very unprofessional.
