But I do think in this instance, because this is a caucus and the first one, and this debate is for the need it of the Iowa voter, Trump may lose some caucus votes for this decision.

None of them should to enable Fox's support of islam.

Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate

Anyone who attends this debate is an enabler. Did you forget who is heavily invested in FOX? Saudi Arabia?

No doubt CNN is hankering to get his attention.

The value of election ratings cannot be overstated.

This might have been Roger Ailes last chance to "get" Trump...so...Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

It boggles the mind that the Roger Ailes of the news world and the establishment see nothing wrong with a politician so reckless with her top spot in our State Department as to be dangerously close to treason not to mention her constant lying, even to Congress....the insiders obviously care not a whit about our country, just their pocket books and cushy jobs. I'll take a Trump success or an equally smart Constitution thumper like Cruz any day.

He’s demonstrating that when he’s president, how a deal has to work for his side or it doesn’t happen. (US) Showing that he means business. The closest analogy was when Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers. That freaked out the Russians. He said something, then did it.

Him not playing in a debate where the “moderator” is a leading advocate against him shows he’s got some balls, unlike the last several gutless wonders we’ve had recently.
Congress is watching this. And so are all the moslem countries.

The favorite in elections do not want to debate.

They have nothing to gain.

But I do think in this instance, because this is a caucus and the first one, and this debate is for the need it of the Iowa voter, Trump may lose some caucus votes for this decision.

He may have inside skinny on the proposed attack.

Spot on!

"Anyone who is viewing the battle between Donald Trump and Fox News as a representative battle of thin-skinned ego is entirely missing the point."

Was Trump enabling Muslims when he excused a terrorists attack by saying Muslims were taunted?

I saw that tonight on twitter and it explained a lot. Trump did the right thing. So strange the number of people who are not bringing this up in the media who obviously have seen it on Brietbart by now.

the picture of Michael Moore on fox talking about trump tells me all I need to know about Megyn Kelly and Trumps objections.....Michael Moor never goes on fox out of fear that he will be shown to be the fool he is.

Trump should offer to debate Socialist Bernie Sanders during the same time slot on a different network.

He would absolutely win the ratings war against Fox.

The ability to believe in yourself and walk away from the poker table when you see the game has been rigged and to play is a loosing proposition is a good sign for an future president hopfull;

Yup. If Trump pulls this off and wins Iowa, he’s in, and going forward can use this win as a precedent in challenging the Washington Cartel, and our adversaries, both foreign and domestic. I hope he pulls this off.

He should pick up the rest of his marbles and slink back to his NY values with his tail between his legs.

Fox News is the only one pounding Hillary on all her shenanigans
Megyn Kelly had a full program on Benghazi over the weekend (probably a repeat)

He has repeatedly said he doesn't want to tell anyone anything

On the surface, that seems like a good strategy

But no one has ever seen a candidate nor a campaign like this ... ever.


These are totally uncharted waters for every entity concerned;

The American people, the political establishment, the dangerous time we live with America under attack we've never seen before ...

The main reason is basically Trump stinks in debates. He gets made a fool of and the crowd rightfully boos him. Me Me Me doesn’t win debates. Reminds me of Alan Keyes and Obama debating (senate). Keyes ate him alive.
