Many broadcast hours and column inches are sure to be used today and tomorrow regarding the decision by Donald Trump to skip the Fox News debate in Iowa.
Predicatively 90% of those reports will most likely circle around a Donald Trump -vs- Megyn Kelly narrative. Obviously that aspect will be the preferred hook used by Fox News to avoid sunlight; it is also profoundly wrong.
Megyn Kelly, and her sidekick Chris Stirewalt are the visible symptom, not the actual underlying issue. Their partnered 'too-cute-by-half schtick' has been ongoing for several months, including the coordinated antics at the last debate, and in the weeks leading up to the last debate; but again, they are the symptom - not the real issue.
However, it's also more than a little hypocritical for the same republican voices who were shouting at republican nominees in 2011/2012, for walking into traps with CNN's Candy Crowley and ABC's George Stephanopolous, to now be clutching their pearls when 2016 republican frontrunner Donald Trump recognizes the construct in Fox News and avoids it.
Chris Stirewalt is the advance guy, the Fox political debate contractor/producer who is in Iowa setting up the parameters. He's the scout organizing the Muslim activist to confront Donald Trump. He's the guy organizing the Mexican immigrant to question/antagonize the intended target, Trump. Stirewalt puts the agenda script together - Ms. Kelly, Mr. Wallace and Mr. Baier execute the production.

Eh, maybe. I guess he’ll just have to gloss that over in his Presidential library.
I’m with xzins on this P-Marlowe. This is nothing but a well orchestrated trap that has been set for Trump. He saw it and said, “No thanks.”.
Used maxi pad.
There, I said it..
