What does Trump think? If he is running against Hillary in the general election the msm will make Kelley look like a local info babe asking softball questions to the local library board. Will he take his ball and go home then too?

If they do, the public will see right through them. Trump has enough media of his own to show them up, just as he is doing now with Fox.
In addition, Trump has shown himself adept at the strategy of divide and conquer the media. They need his ratings. They do *not* have a central command.
Their leftists bias is based on shared ideology, not a command structure, so they cannot adopt a comprehensive and uniform strategy, which is what they need to accomplish what you suggest.
I think you already know the answer to that question. Trump is a pretty smart strategist and a better tactician than I gave him credit for - not that I’m ready to vote for him in the primary, mind you.
Trump is choosing not to engage with what has emerged as the enemy (Fox News, Google, Megyn Kelly and now Nabela Noor) when he doesn’t have a tactical advantage. He’s already engaged with Hillary (and Bill) and she withdrew after her argument and her husband suffered heavy casualties. The effective range of the “poor (multi-millionaire, egotistical, self-promoting, faux conservative, half-assed attorney) beautiful babe is attacked by Donald Trump” argument is about one meter, as evidenced by Fox’s continually declining ratings and it doesn’t - and won’t - resonate with most voters.
As one person noted above, Trump is playing on everyone else’s chess boards and they don’t even realize it; their strategy and tactics are consistent and they aren’t working.
