I suspect this is the reason Trump chickened out of the debate tomorrow. Trump realized that the Cruz ground game would give Cruz the win, and Trump needed an excuse for losing. The excuse? “I wasn’t in the debate”.

Your assessment that Trump may be losing is certainly a possiblitiy. I never thought Trump
would have a chance and Iowa should have been Cruz’s in a cakewalk. You can call it chickened
out or it could be call a move on the chess board. In either case it has got a lot of publicity
and now with his wounded warrior/vet idea has brought another dynamic to the game.
At least this is proving to be a somewhat interesting primary so far.
In my humble opinion, I don't believe this is correct. I think it's a very close race right now and Mr Trump felt Fox was planning a "hit" piece using Kelly, the Muslim woman, illegal Mexican woman and the tech guy. I believe he feels it will "hurt" his poll numbers so he decided not to show up
MY problem with that is.....you had better be able to handle and navigate "hit pieces" from the US and ALL OVER THE WORLD when you are President. There's no strength in saying, "hey, I'm not going to show up to a world summit because they aren't going to treat me fair." This stunt gives the nuance that Trump can be "run off" by conflict, which is NOT a good "tag" to have hanging on you as a candidate after years of Obama doing very little to protect America.
