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 âª@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."

His sis was a colleague of Alito. They are still close. She spoke in his behalf at his confirmation hearing. Did I already say that ?
If they fired NR, and Kelly promotes NR...uh...why not fire Kelly?
Trump is just looking for an excuse to dodge the debate.
Ted botched the oath. It's still on.
The great god of broadcasting is a seven letter word: RATINGS.
Ailes can no more ignore ratings than anyone else in his business. Ratings are what draw advertisers and make them buy.
He should do it when the Democrats have their Townhall on Monday. The Ratings would be YUGE for one Event.
I wonder which one? LOL
Oh. At this point I don’t think that matters. That he would even be a part of such a spectacle is the coup de gras. Start a draft Beck for VP move. We all know he’s the most conservative of conversatives. He and the Gang of Hate have made that very clear.
I would not watch the FOX debate without TRUMP. Everybody makes a choice and my curiosity for the debate can be met on FR, without rewarding FOX with another viewer, and Me-again Kelly with my remote.
I go where TRUMP goes, and I agree with Scarborough that “if this were any other candidate, but TRUMP, the media would have already called this race”.
This is now becoming all theater and a term pay-off to the media moguls to drag it out any further. But, I’m a radical.
I say let Meghan moderate the Kiddie table.
Yep! Smart man.
Meghan = Megyn
BWaaaaaa......POST OF THE DAY.
Yeh its over. Glenn Swore Ted in on a Mormon compass. LOL!
Enough with the debates. Lets vote. :-)
Shhh....
lol
don’t get mad, get even
The media doesn’t hate Trump. If they did, they would ignore him.
and move Greta into her slot.
Not only should Trump be protesting, but so should Cruz.
Remember the snotty “Heard from God lately?” question to Cruz from Kelly? That was beyond disrespectful, both to the candidate and his supporters.
The only reason there is another debate next week is not to serve the voting public, but the media’s hope that they can create a faux pas on some candidate’s part (hopefully Trump’s) that can affect the Iowa caucuses a few days later. They get a few 24 hour cycles to set the table and become kingmakers—a role Trump publicly and unashamedly stole from them.
I’m with Trump on this one.
