Lewandowski: Trump May Stage Townhall if Fox Won’t Dump Megyn
Breitbart ^ | 1/24/2016

Posted on 01/24/2016 11:29:16 AM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

With just five days until Fox News airs the final GOP debate before the Iowa Caucuses, Donald Trump is reigniting his war with Megyn Kelly. "Based on ‪@MegynKelly's conflict of interest and bias she should not be allowed to be a moderator of the next debate," Trump tweeted while campaigning in Iowa on Saturday.

Trump's feud with Kelly has been one of the most memorable storylines of this raucous GOP primary. In recent weeks, it has heated up. In a lengthy Vanity Fair profile this month, Kelly boasted of writing the now famous debate question about Trump's history of misogynic comments, which ignited the feud this summer. And last week, Kelly sarcastically brought up Sarah Palin's Trump endorsement, as well as hosted National Review editor Rich Lowry to promote the National Review's anti-Trump issue.

Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, indicated that Trump could walk away from the debate if Fox won't exclude Kelly. "Let's see what happens," he told me. "It's fair to say Mr. Trump is a significant ratings driver for these debates. If we aren't on stage for some reason, they wouldn't have the record 24 million viewers and would be back with 1-2 million people."

Oh, hell here we go again with another bogus hot air threat.

Reminds me of someone else who draws redlines that get crossed and nothing happens.

But.....why is Mr. Trump still running? I thought Glenn Beck already swore Ted in. It's over.

This election is soooo much fun, isn't it?

Trump is the entity that creates the revenue for Fox. Does anyone care if Kasich or anyone else shows up?

Have Alan Colmes as moderator—that would be fun.

I agree with you. This is a trial balloon to get “free” media. Trump is demonstrating his New York bully style - if someone doesn’t play by his rules, he will take his little ball and go home. What a sissy.

Having re-read two of his books recently it isn’t surprising. He really believes he is larger than the game. What arrogance on display.

Perhaps at his townhall he will answer direct questions instead of attacking individuals.

The media HATES Trump and he plays them like a cat playing with a mouse - and wins every time. It's one of the most glorious things I've seen in my life.

Indeed. How many thousands of us here have been praying for just such a thing? Never did I imagine the form the answer would take however.

Trump is afraid to debate so close to the caucuses.

Another question: In light of the number of activist judges on the bench, advocating against the Constitution, how will you (Trump)deal with them, and will you provide leadership to have impeachment hearings?

Trump has been getting free media for months now from Faux News.

I am sure he has something worked out with them so that he will come out "shiney hiney" on this one.

The NewYawk Value Man is a narcissist deluxe and puts the Muslim in the White House to shame.

I think he should do it. Remember Candy Crowley?

The job of a moderator is to ask questions and increase our knowledge of the candidates. It isn’t to insert themselves into the debate or ask gotcha questions or to steer the debate for or against any candidate. Mz Kelly has broached all of those things. About time one of these turkeys got the boot.

While DT isn’t entitled to a forum, faux news isn’t entitled to DT’s time.

He did say Thomas was his favor followed by Scalia and mentioned Alito.

Good, good. I missed that.

Yes, that’s a better question.
