Will Fox News cave and drop Megyn so the debate can go on? (Vanity)

[RoosterRedux]

Today will be the fish or cut bait day for Fox News. Will they drop Megyn Kelly and hand Trump a victory so the show can go on or will they host a debate that will have virtually no viewership.

Ailes must be under immense pressure from advertisers who have already purchased time slots at higher prices which reflect higher viewership estimates.

I can't see how he cannot cave.

[ontap]

Hell! He’s the one who can’t take a hard question....pretty damn wimpy to me!!!And he’s suppose to be this hard nose business guy!!!

[tirednvirginia]

There you go. Like I said, you are uninformed and do not know why Trump withdrew. It was NOT because Megan Kelly is a moderator.

[ontap]

Well that’s what he said.....and your reason is???

[Chgogal]

Let's see, last week FNC had the National Review Trump Ambush to crow about (with ringleader Steve Hayes on Special Report), now FNS’ snarky little press release and finally FNC little triple ambush. To me it looks like Trump outflanked FNC and the FNC is going to pay good hard cash for that.

And yet he shows up on their programs everyday.

[SC_Pete]

Sounds reasonable. Roger Ailes is going to take a huge hit to his wallet. He may lose 75% of potential advertising revenue.

Answer given several times during this thread. Just read.

What do I care? I don’t own Fox stock.

I’d prefer that the networks don’t run the debates to begin with.

Give any candidate with more than 5% support a spot on the stage and give them 5 minute periods to speak in a rotation. Go for 2 hours. Turn off their mics when its not their turn. Don’t give them any questions or subjects, just let them talk. The parties should pay for the airtime.

Once the primaries start and actual votes are counted, only allow candidates that have more than 10% of the vote on stage.

[Chgogal]

Programs are not debates. Millions watch the debate maybe two million watch a prime time program.

[ontap]

So it took you 28 minutes not to answer the question. Maybe there isn’t one!!!!

[ontap]

Really....how about a debate is one night a month but the shows are every week night....not counting that they are rebroadcast up to three times a day. And there's The Donald lapping it up every chance he gets. What a hypocrite!!!

[Chgogal]

FNC repeats the debates on FNC at least once on both FNC and FBC. So, your point is what? My numbers are bigger than yours?

[ontap]

Are you nuts...they’re not even close besides that what the hell difference does it make...either way his mug is all over the TV which mutes you argument that somehow he’s being mistreated.

[Palio di Siena]

the muslima they have lined up to attack trump can’t be disinvited. so she’ll have a go at the rest of them.
what will cruz, et al say?
if the kiss her butt, trump will kill them.
if they don’t, they’ll be called racists.
trump can take those kinds of blasts, i don’t know if the others can.
not saying i’m for trump, but he clearly outplayed the field this time.

[ontap]

if they don’t, they’ll be called racists.

That's already happening....so what's new!!!

[Chgogal]

No, you are nuts if you can't tell the difference between the impact of a 3-5 minute chat and attending a national debate. Regarding Trump's mistreatment, he out flanked FNC and their triple whammy.

See Post 184. Never mind. I'll repost.

[SC_Pete]

Good approach but the elites won’t buy it.

[ontap]

The 3-5 minutes are exclusive for him and that’s just Fox. The debate is him and 7-8 others. Where he does what all the others do and repeat his talking points. Four blog sites are hardly what anyone would assume to be a credible source. I could hit Google and come up with more that would say the opposite!!!

[terycarl]

When it comes to Trump, love him or hate him, you got to admit...this is pure Genius.

I think that it is pure idiocy. This is the last debate before the Caucus...the last chance to make your point and he is allowing Cruz , Christie, and Rubio to leave a lasting impression on the voters. They will be able to beat the Hell out of Trump and he will not be able to retaliate

[terycarl]

Roger Ailes (FNC) not only should remove Megyn Kelly forn the upcoming FNC debate....but he should fire her immediately for having that raving lunatic, ego-maniac, Glenn Beck & that nutcase, moron, Michael Moore on her show!!! The replacement for Kelly should be Maria Bartilomo of FBN!!! End of story!!!

Do you suppose that she has 100% control of who appears on her show????
