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."

This should be the job of RP of the RNC PTB. Granted, Trump is more of a megaphone than RP could ever hope to be. But what the he!! is RP even doing to deserve this job? RNC, get your act together. Call FOX and make known your desires. If you are indeed behind YOUR CANDIDATE, show US, WTP you mean it!
I agree with the sentiment but submit if she is sacked it will be because of Megyn. Not Donald. People can demand satisfaction and impartiality. In the old days they would have just had a duel and the loser may have been chicken winged. Or worse.
Kevyn is not going to be dumped. Fox cannot afford to do that as it would under cut her status which they spent ten years making. Trump will show up. He cannot afford to get banned by fox. Wiles probably require her to be less combative unless challenged on air by trump. I am certain this will be communicated to trump. The problem will come when the rabid feminism takes over megyn’s mouth. Trump may point out the bs and walk off.
I just love Donald Trump for this. Everyone KNOWS Megyn Kelly is going to have it out for him. Trump holds all the cards and he KNOWS it. I would love for him to do a townhall and skip this stupid debate.

Fox should dump her because she’s proven herself to be biased.
such language, miss m!
“A candidate thinking his feuds with reporters are of national importance raises some red flags about suitability for office.”
That’s a really bizarre straw man argument.
Trump never had a trust fund. His father didn’t believe in them and instilled an incredible work ethic in him. As he did with his own children.
You obviously know nothing about him, but instead are eaten up with jealousy.
This debate wasn’t scheduled in the first place. I was added in to happen just before the Iowa caucus.
If trump had a Town hall, I wouldn’t even bother to watch the FOX Megyn show debate.
Daddy left him a $200 million company. Good for him. I couldn’t care less.
But the fact is he was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple.

Rinse Poobus decided to kick National Review out of a CNN debate because of what they did.
Why is Megyn and FOX any different?
The only reason FOX leaked that they had a kill shot was to try and amp up ratings.
In light of that, why participate and give themm what they want?
She can stay and moderate a reduced crowd.
Daddy gave him a million dollar loan which he turned into billions.
I think it would be hilarious. FOX is the biggest ratings whore ever. Why help them?
Thats fine. They won’t miss the ratings either I am sure.
Why not? Fox has about 40 other hot blondes they could trot out.
All with five or six inch heels. Most of them look slutty. I remember a time when pictures of Kelly that are out there would have been a career killer.
If Trump shows up he’d better be ready for Kelly when she says “So, Mr. Trump. I’m glad you decided to show up.” I think he’s stepped in it. He has to skip it now.
Awesome!!!
200 million to billions is just one base?
He works long days, provides jobs, pays more in taxes than I earn, it’s what capitalism is about.
Of course you care, or you wouldn’t be making comments that sound full of envy.
