"WAAAAHH!! I'm afwaid to go on that big bad debate!! They'we so nasty to me!!"
Regardless, the debates are farces. The only debate worth watching would have real questioners, like Rush Limbaugh, Peter Schiff, or Mark Steyn.
And new rules:
- No more than 5 candidates at a time
- No politics questions, about polls, what one guy said about the other, etc.
- No tilted audience, for cheers and boos.
- No tweeted questions from 18-yr olds.
- No pontificating moderators.
- No harsh timer bells for Republicans.
- No debaters who avoid answering to give stump speeches.
You are very much mistaken. The debate will get very good ratings. I look forward to an issues oriented debate.
The sponsors win.....no Trump....no money....well maybe 10 cents on the dollar.
IF I remember correctly, the sponsor/station "deal" was contingent on the presence of Donald.
They can replace him with Alex Trebek to keep the continuity!
If someone is too thin skinned and scared to debate what does that have to do with fox...silly question. Of course the debates will go on
My guess is they’ll offer Trump another reality show. Maybe it will be “Who wants to be my Fourth Wife?”
Megan is costing FOX NEWS 6 million dollars in revenue.
Interesting to see where that shoe will drop. Either Megan will be dropped as a moderator, or she will have to start looking for a new job. No CEO can look 6 million dollars in revenue in the face and then say goodbye to it even as a bad memory. This is going to stick in Roger Ailes craw. Roger wanted a showdown on stage but he got it off stage, and Roger loses whether he keeps Megan or not.
News Flash - donnie is not all that. I’ll be happy to watch the debate without seeing his second grade faces he makes at Jeb.
-—so the show can go on or will they host a debate that will have virtually no viewership.-—
No viewership...? Seriously...?
They might even get more viewership since conservatives might now tune in so their candidates will have some airtime...instead of the debate is no longer a bash Trump event...
Ever consider the GOPe has Trump where they want him now...?
The cherry on top would be for Fox to cave, but when they contact Trump he sez, “I told you NO and I meant it. My benefit event for our wounded warriors is more important. Buh bye!”
I’m curious what the debate will look like now? How do you beat Trump in a debate when he’s not there? Are they going to be fighting for 2nd spot and attack each other
As for the Megyn and Michael show last night, that's less of a slap at DT than it is is an in-your-face way for Fox News to deliberately announce how much contempt they have for their original audience.
Mr. niteowl77
For years I’ll seen a lot of grousing and carping about FOX, and the rest of the “news” outlets. Now that we have someone actively, and quite effectively fighting them, again there is never ending carping and grousing about that.
We should be celebrating that there is at least one person with the guts to stick his finger in the eye of the media, and to spit on them.
Whatever happens, Trump will declare victory and return to the debate, which is why Ailles should stand his ground.
The tell is the fact that Trump announced this two days before the debate.
"WAAAAHH!! I'm afwaid to go on that big bad debate!! They'we so nasty to me!!"
With the egos involved? It will never happen.
Although I would hate to be the National Accounts manager for Fox News Sales. He is seeing his bonus disappear like smoke.
No and this was not all about Smegyn.
I’m not sure that taking Kelly off as moderator will satisfy Trump. Fox made a statement to Mediate that really upset Trump, and that is when he dropped Fox. Perhaps if FNC apologized to Trump, he would do the debate.
