Fox News Responds to Trump’s Latest ’Twitter Poll’ With First-Rate Trolling
Mediaite ^ | Jan 26, 2016 | Sam Reisman

Posted on 01/26/2016 4:35:09 PM PST by FR_addict

Fox News has issued a statement responding to Donald Trump‘s conduct on social media, calling The Donald out for his timidity with what can only be described as trolling of the highest order...

We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president - a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.

“Doesnt sound like Trump used those hard negotiation skills he keeps bragging about.

Kelly in
Trump out”

He knows that Fox needs him more than he needs Fox News faux “debate”.

Think about who has the power. Fox has the power to say “no” you can’t be on the show because of low poling data but the one with real power is the one that says... I can come on your show, but only under my conditions.

You have to be able to walk away from a “deal” in order to be the one in control. Jeb/Rubio and even Cruz CAN’T do that or its curtains. Trump’s numbers will only go up. It was just a great play on his part.

He may have been slipping to Cruz but this really establishes him as a outsider. It’s all kabuki anyway brother so don’t get all twisted up.

Here’s what someone on DU said. they could be right...

“This won’t hurt him at all. It’s actually pretty smart.

With the caucus on Tuesday, everyone else on the stage would be gunning for him with both barrels. He’s already got momentum, so has more to lose than to gain.

The Megyn thing is the best possible phony excuse.

I still think the guy’s a clown, but there are smarts somewhere in his campaign.”

And yes, I know there will be a lot of vulgar ranting from Trumpers for me asking this question.

Gig 'em with taglines.

Trump won when Ailes backed himself into a corner with this: “the entire network stands behind Kelly”

He was leaning towards doing the debate until the press release. He called it childish during the press conference on CNN. After the press conference, it was announced that he would not be doing the Fox News debate.

Trump will either ignore it...

Or he won’t shut up and let Ted speak. When Ted is allowed to speak he wins.

RE:”Think about who has the power. Fox has the power to say you can't be on the show because of low poling data but the one with real power is the one that says... I can come on your show, but only under my conditions.”

First thing, Trump demanded that CNN pay a charity an certain amount as a condition for showing up for their debate and CNN told him to pound sand as FNC did now. And Trump showed up anyway DUHHH.

By playing the run and hide card Trump now has Cruz on Levin and Hannity shows pointing out how he (Trump) is scared of Kelly and how if he cant handle her he certainty cant handle Russian and Iranian dictators or even Hillary.

He is really beating that drum tonight tearing Trump apart for cowardliness.

Kelly has the upper hand and FNC is having a blast playing this up. out-Trumping Trump.

FNC today:'We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president - a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings'

bwahahaha!

A gambit (from ancient Italian gambetto, meaning “to trip”) is a chess opening in which a player, more often White, sacrifices material, usually a pawn, with the hope of achieving a resulting advantageous position.
Gambit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was never ga-ga for Cruz,
I liked some stuff and disliked some stuff from him but Trump’s utter sleaziness in his personal insults turns me off.

It’s fun when its someone we hate, but its always been un-presidential. It Jerry Springer politics.

Plus, he is king of the con-men. Truly King.

Finally now Rush and Levin are forced to admit its a problem.
