Unless you live in outer space you probably heard about the controversy between Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump that stemmed from the Fox News debate where Megyn asked Trump a question he didn't like and he made a comment about her that a lot people were upset about. The jabbing has continued and recently Megyn Kelly said in an interview that Donald tried to "woo" her before the debate by calling her and sending her letters. Trump responded and basically called her ugly.
If you thought the feud was over. Think again.
Donald J. Trump/ @realDonaldTrump "Based on @MegynKelly's conflict of interest and bias she should not be allowed to be a moderator of the next debate."
There is no way that Fox would allow Donald Trump to boycott a debate and miss out on the millions of viewers he brings and they aren't going to ditch their rock star Megyn Kelly either so not sure what effects this stance will have. However, it is a pretty shrewd move from Trump to play up how unfair the media is which allows him to basically dismiss any question he doesn't like as unfair. Regardless of what side you are on in this feud we can all agree that we will be tuning in when they square off next.

Apparently FOX has responded and said no way is MK not going to be there and thanks for the ratings boost.
That’s OK because he’s done the smart thing of elevating expectations, and she knows every word she says will be scrutinized and she will be held accountable.
As a master negotiator, Trump knows how to use psy-ops to help gain the edge.
No wonder Putin likes him.
Trump no longer needs the debates, tell them to stick it.
The question is, and this has been true of other moderators, will MK be a moderator or attempt to be THE story of the debate.
Yep, Trump needs to pull a Rand Paul and be a no show. Won’t hurt him a bit. MeGYN needs to go.
Only if she shows in a bikini???
Trump should walk. Screw MK’s contemptuous abuse and biased unprofessionalism and Fox’s arrogance. He should run a simultaneous show where he gives policy statements.
She can’t resist...EVERYTHING must be “all about her”.
Follow the money...it’s all about the ratings.
It’s a grudge match of Saturday night wrestling.
In the spirit of The Donald: If he can’t handle Megyn, how can he handle ISIS, Putin and China?
Megyn and the rest of them are about as liberal as they come.
I’d almost rather watch MSNBC at this point. At least they don’t lie about who they are.
Personally, I think Donald Trump is behaving in a petty way.
If Trump would not be so egotistical and simply be forceful and clear about his legitimate anger over the current US policies, he would easily be as popular as Ronald Reagan. I do like most of his positions on the important issues today. I fear this immature attitude, and whether he will be able to work with others to make the necessary corrections to the federal government.
I think Trump wants dust it up with her on TV. :-)
Yup. He is bigger than them now. Nobody is watching this 382nd debate anyway - most people are sick of them.
More free publicity, more “plateauing” if he says, “Thanks, but no thanks.” He will garner more media attention by NOT attending.
I would. If I were Trump I’d ditch out and leave megyn holding the bag.
I agree she should not, but not because she is anti trump but because she was grossly unprofessional at last debate
Megyn was giddy when Obama won.
