Must be scared of Kelley?

Honestly, what good is another debate at this point?

Trump pointed out that Kelly is clearly biased. Will the MSM ever even attempt to actually do their job instead of working for the Democrats and other leftists?

Will we ever have a competent, unbiased press?

Trump is absolutely correct. What will Fox do if Trump backs out? I would like to see what happens if that line in the sand is crossed.

I voted no. He doesn’t need them.

It was 47% no, 53% yes.

You gotta be kidding! You don’t think Trump can make decisions? You don’t get billions by being indecisive. He was - and still is- the only candidate to come out for deportation, a wall, and banning Muslims - a pretty decisive and strong decision.

Cruz still cannot decide if he’s for legal status, silence, teddy bears, etc.

I agree.

Trump could completely decimate this debate, just by doing that!

If he stands his ground, then Fox will cave. Ratings.

Megyn Kelly has the highest ratings in their evening lineup. She walks and that's a big hole for them to fill. You think they would cave to Trump and have to face that?

Of course he can make decisions. Did not say otherwise. Which is why my first question is what does he think? I have no doubt he has already decided whether or not to do the debate.

So why put it out there in such a way that will give the impression his decision was the decision of the people (mob rule) or to manipulate his supporters into such a frenzy that Megyn Kelly is the story and the actual debate a footnote.

I don't like being played. I don't like it from the GOP-e and I don't like it from candidates. That's all.

Well I would vote for him too if it mattered but it won't. It won't matter where Jim lives either. The winner will already be determined by the time the election moves West.

I have thought from the beginning that the GOPe would never allow Cruz to rise to the top but Trump entering the race has completely changed the debate. My opinion, Trump has lost every debate so I have to ask why is he so popular? A caller today led Rush to say Trump is a third party candidate running as a Republican. Maybe that is true, at least it is an interesting take.

Trump would have been nowhere on any list of mine as a likely Presidential Candidate, in fact I though if he and Carly got on the same stage She would make Trump look foolish. Now it appears that even if she had done that it would not matter.

If only Cruz had opened with the same ideas that Trump did, this election would already be over. The way it is now unless something really big happens Trump will be the nominee and we will have wasted all the vitriolic bickering that would have been better spent against the democrats.

The president is the only person that the entire country votes for.

That is the illusion, in actuality Congress is the only vote that matters not even the electors we send have the final say if Congress decides to abandon tradition.

Reagan won two landslides but so did Obama, the USA today is not the USA of our fathers. (Sorry Oldsmobile)

“The Donald is scared. He’s afraid of a girl.”

Donnie is afraid of Little Miss Megyn. She might ask him a question that’s too hard for him to answer, like has your idea of “New York values” changed since 1999?

Stop being such a weenie and man up, Donnie.

All this drivel about Fox being in the tank against Trump is ridiculous and silly.

I know but that’s old news, even you know it

Dirt on Megyn will go round the world 7 or 8 times and trumps numbers will go up again as a result

I would like to see Megyn Kelly be replaced by a female team of Shannon Bream and Sharyl Atkisson (if Ailes could attract her). Shannon is a lawyer by training and Sharyl is not afraid to confront wrongdoing regardless of political stripe.

Trump was on Baier just no following the announcement of the debate participants. He refuses to commit to appear. Popcorn time.

The act of putting up a poll is yo play with the head of Fox in general, and Ailes, Murdock, and of course Megyn herself. Trump knows what he wants to do, and we will kno by end of day tomorrow.

Trump just sad that probably he won’t do the debate. Steve Sanctimonious Hayes dissing Trump.

What is his upside for doing it? I can't think of anything.

What are any possible pitfalls of doing it? Lose composure. Flub an answer. Give the appearance of a cave to a MSM outlet.

Is there any benefit to skipping it? Yep. Giving a middle finger salute to a MSM outlet. Leaving the harpy without her target. Standing on principle.

Drawbacks to sitting out? Being called chicken by people rooting for his downfall anyway.

So I'd say sit this one out. Or as a compromise, attend after conformation that the bloody wench will be "moderating" the undercard debate.

Not to mention that I’m sure the GOP-e will stack the audience with Trump boo birds to give that appearance of “impartiality” even more weight in the eyes of the viewing audience. Skip it.

I agree. FN audience will diminish without Trump.
