GOP frontrunner Donald Trump argues that Fox News’s Megyn Kelly shouldn’t moderate the upcoming debate on January 28 in Iowa, three days before the Iowa caucus.
“Based on @MegynKelly’s conflict of interest and bias she should not be allowed to be a moderator of the next debate,†Trump posted to Twitter on Saturday.
Kelly was criticized for being unfair to Trump following the first GOP primary debate. And two days ago, Kelly was charged with unleashing “on Donald Trump and Sarah Palin,†who recently endorsed the GOP frontrunner.
“Breaking tonight, a moment with the potential to change the Republican race for the White House — or not,†Kelly sarcastically announced, referencing Palin’s endorsement of Trump.
Kelly also featured the “National Review Against Trump†story, having several of the anti-Trump commentators on her show, which resulted in the National Review being dumped from co-hosting an upcoming GOP primary debate.

My answer to your comment goes something like this. (and sorry it has to be long)..
I’m a fair person.. I’m relatively smart/common sense type person. I don’t fit the picture you and other Trump haters draw up.
I have been behind Trump ever since he first got into this race. WHY? Because I’m damned tired of being taken to the cleaners by those who have it all made in the shade. I’m tired of those in power giving us out here the finger.
Congress: We sent them there to speak for us but they turn out to be as bad as the ones we replaced. They lie, they insult us, they promise things knowing they won’t deliver.. because they consider us too dumb to understand. We have an elite group of leaders and media.. plus others who have tied themselves to their shirttails... who want to run everything.. they want the power .. and hell with the people.
They are all okay with obama being the President. They are okay with our borders wide open. They are okay with all the executive orders obama has run through. They are okay with having a dictator in chief and they are okay with him running our military into the ground. They are okay with the world being turned into a powder keg. They are okay with the economy being in the tank. They are okay with the status quo.
All of this is NOT okay with any voter out here who has a lick of sense in his head. I’ve been angry for almost 8 years. I was angry at mccain for losing. I was angry at Romney for letting the whole Benghazi attack and deaths, go unmentioned in the debate with obama right after it happened.
They are all lacking enough brains to figure out how to win! and how to treat the people like they’d want to be treated.
We are not people who riot. We write, we call, we fax, we email.. all of which have been ignored by congress. Obama has set up what is impeachable... and congress will do nothing. The media has protected him. No one will do anything.. they have no spine, no fight.. just the lust for power.. and that makes me so angry.. the only way we can do anything is to vote. But there are way too many voters who don’t know what’s going on. Too many vote for skin color, for charm, for the crease in the pants... they are the ones I call dumb... not Trump followers.
From the beginning of this election process, Trump was the only one who wanted to kick all their butts. I’d say ALL of Trump’s followers are the ones who have lived angry at the republicans for not stopping it.. at the media for their protection and lies.. and at obama for being the dictator he is.
When Trump came along, his fight had been long awaited for. We wanted someone who dropped political correctness.. spoke without fear... had the power to turn the media’s heads... owed no outside lobbyists or special interest... one who would take them all to the cleaners... put on trial those who have turned into criminals... one who would take care of our veterans.. and get the illegals OUT OF this Country!! one who those elitist could not dominate.
NO ONE was speaking out loud enough and hard enough in the beginning. It took Trump to open that door. By that time, the people were on Trump’s side.. big time.
No matter what Trump does, they are still behind him because they are still angry.. still broke.. still had hopes that have been shredded... still hate the every day dismantling of our country by obama.. still angry at congress for allowing it... still angry at the media for what they do best.. insult us and protect the dictator.
Every time they insult Trump they insult the people who are behind him. That’s why he doesn’t lose any with their efforts to discredit him.
I am a Trump supporter... I have been. I would like for him to be the adult with his same power and blow hard attitude. I wish he would not go for the ugly jugular with every one of his enemies. He could take them out with dignity... he just does not know how to do that, since his way has always worked .. and it works because he is very wealthy.
I do believe he’s a giver of a person. He gives a lot. He loves our country. He loves our military and would take care of the veterans and build up our military once again. I believe he’d build that fence and close off our borders. I do believe he’d send the illegals back.. and this is one of the most important items. I do believe he’d get our jobs back and do a lot of good. I don’t care what he was before.. nor who he was before.. just someone who will fight and do what is right. This country needs that more than they need some of the things I’ve heard mentioned.. we need a good Supreme Court pick.. that probably will be coming up.. if it doesn’t before the next election.
I have liked Levin for a long time.. but he’s hitting us all hard.. us, being Trump supporters. Do they not realize this insults us also? Do they not realize this just cements his followers in deeper? Do they not realize they sound like they accuse Trump of sounding?
And I get to the “However”... it’s just been recently that I have some concerns on some things. I do not know if Trump’s mind might change on some things, due to making deals.. which he has done successfully for all his life. But I remind you, no one else has said they would tear Washington apart and put it back together again. I would like for him to speak with the authority he has.. in a style that does not embarrass some of us. BUT... Lowry, the other night on Fox.. he fixed it! He and Megyn... she is not worth the sand she sifts and sputters on her show. What they did just cemented more in with Trump. WHY do they have to insult us all?.. that doesn’t help at all. Why do they say we are dumb/ignorant, back woods people. They sound no better than Trump when they show their true hatred for the man. Aim it at obama.. and not as us!!!!!!!!!
They are scared of him and he’s enjoying that. I just turn them all off.. I’m tired of it.. all of it.
I like Cruz.. I have followed him for 2 years. I find him to be one I could vote for. However.. he has not said what I want to hear. I want to know that he can do what I think Trump can/will do. I don’t think there is a single person in Washington who would work with Cruz. I don’t want him to work with any of them.. I don’t want him to cross the aisle for any of them.. but what can he get done? They have cut him off.. I like what he’s done.. but they ALL hate him.. for it. Where does that leave us?.. with more executive orders? more unconstitutional actions? He has to talk and talk before the election .. he has to say it in black and white.. plain.. I want to hear what he will do... not round about.. and I want that FIGHT !!!
I just want the next President to undo it all.. to fix it all.. and to not be afraid of the media nor congress. IT’s an attitude that taken correctly, will make all the difference in the world. Reagan had it.. it was “I’ll have my way.. and you’ll appreciate me for it”. with a smile on his face and never a rude remark. I want political correct speech thrown out for good... and I want the President to care about he people out here.. we’ve been mocked, crucified, stolen from, lied to, insulted, and forgotten.
I’ll vote for Trump if there is no other choice. But if there was a dignified man who had the same fight in the belly.. I’d vote for him.
But you all on FR who are as bad at insult as you declare Trump is... you turn me so off. It’s childish and I don’t like to see peole be that rude.
I like your sense of humor.
It is fauxsnooze which is supposed to be “fair” and balanced afterall.
BTTT
I hope nickname sees your post
who cares if MK does or doesn’t....... Trump will shred her again....
she must like public humiliation.......
Do you think I engaged in demagoguery in posting about Trump's hyperbole?
If you think that, does it sound as shallow, dishonest and dangerous as when Trump does demagoguery?
If debates were run by a non-media entity, then the press connection is more tenuous, and your position would be stronger.
Her job as a moderator is because of her position in the press. The debates are run by media outlets, aka The Press, with reporters as moderators, so yes, it IS part of her job as a reporter.
“I don’t know what’s up with Jim Robinson. He zots people for all sorts of insignificant stuff but its gotten to the point that this site has been taken totally over by out of control Cruzers. This site is not worth visiting anymore it’s gotten so bad.”
That’s a lot to say for someone that hasn’t been here 2 months yet.
True, but shouldn't one be able to eliminate those that seek to question them on national TV if they are known to be biased against them? The MSM has stacked the deck for decades.
Maria Bartiromo is far superior to Megyn Kelly.
“He’s right. The few times I’ve glanced at her show recently has her maybe not quite bleeding, but trembling in anger and Spitting in rage over Trump. She can’t even say his NAME neutrally. She is unfit.”
I have seen this too...she can not even say his name without spitting nails, it looks like she has gone full blown psycho over Trump. I would say, find a replacement for Fox News too....Fox Business did a pretty good job. Very professional and did not seem to have an agenda as MeGYN does.
One more thing Trump staff needs to work on is putting more of his people in the audience. It has been painfully obvious that the audience is stacked with pro GOP.
The clapping and hooting, hollering and booing are way over the top.
No, it isn’t. Your argument is specious at best.
Best idea yet. All 3 need to go or else a boycott. I know I won’t be watching the Fox news debate.
Good idea.
Are you sure that is what happened? Or is that what Trump said happened?
Who is this mysterious person with lips on Trump's ear telling Trump that he could shoot people and get away with it? Did Trump give a name?
Is this “they” that Trump often quotes a real person, or a Trump invention to get Trump's stream of consciousness on the record?
Do you know if Trump's statements about killing journalists, killing family members of people he suspects are terrorists, and killing people in the street are jokes, wishcasting, or malevolent promises of future events?
If you are going to be a republican President you really should be able to answer biased questions in a calm, steady manner.
I am not a Trump fan, but if he cannot deal with Meagan, that should be concerning.
And he will go back to insulting them afterwards.
Shallow and dishonest, yes.
If that is how they present themselves, that’s how you treat them. It is his chance to pound her with facts. This is his fight to lose. If he can’t take her on, how would he do with Putin.
Wow. Great response. Lots of thought and insight.
Thank you for adding to the conversation. You bring a lot to the party. Of course the party is with a clown and a pony....but, thanks anyway.
