The amazing aspect is that Trump has in one fell swoop exposed Murdoch for his Open Borders, Ailes for Deception and Megyn Kelly or Kelly Megyn or whatever her name is as a fraud.....AND! the best part, Trump has set all of them against each other....complete with the pressure added by advertisers looking for a return.

I can’t believe that one man can do all of this with a mere few words.

Gotta love this one-man wrecking ball.

Trump’s not afraid. He’s simply got inside information that the situation is way more stacked against him than Kelly’s jihad, the 3 literal jihadists picked to also attack him, and google’s real-time “fact-checking”, etc.

Trump is just being smart: he’s simply walking away from a bad deal he doesn’t need. AND he’s walking away as the leader and the winner.

This debate was supposed to be the last gasp total, all-out attack by the establishment right before the voting starts. Now the whole situation is completely chaotic for Fox and the establishment. They have the firing squad all lined up but the prisoner to be executed took a powder.

On top of that, once again, Trump has sucked all the oxygen out of the race because all anyone is talking about is Trump, INCLUDING his debate opponents, who SHOULD be talking about themselves and not Trump. And AFTER the debate, all anyone will be talking about is how Trump’s absence did or did not affect the debate. AND CNN will be telecasting a live all-TRUMP-palooza in the same time-slot as the debate, and if CNN’s ratings soar and FNC’s debate ratings plummet, Trump will have vanquished the weakest member of the MSM hegemony.

And finally, the person most likely to suffer from all of this is Cruz because the establishment hates his guts too, and now that HE’S the lead guy in the debates, they’re gonna shift their firing squad to shoot at Cruz instead of Trump, rather than wasting the perfectly good firing squad they spent all of that time and money assembling against Trump.

“I can’t believe that one man can do all of this with a mere few words.”

I agree. But I’m starting to believe. At first, like everyone else, I though Trump’s moves and statements were impulsive, but I no longer believe that. Instead, I think we may be looking at the most genius politician in our lifetime.

I stopped right there, my FRiend.

Trump is highly afraid.

One suspects that it's not Megyn. It's having to debate a truly adroit debater (Senator Cruz)who happens to have facts at his disposal and who does not have a history of being a true-blue-Democrat.

If Mister Trump were to win the GOP nom, I would vote for him.

My task is to make that unlikely.

Women recognize Megyn Kelly’s type in the business world and the workplace, she comes at you to take you down with an unprovoked attack, a gotcha moment, she’s seething inside and won’t stop until she does the utmost damage. She’s also trying to provoke a reaction she can use against you. She’s bought and paid for and the powers that be give her a pass and everybody else runs for over. Women call her the ‘b’ word or the ‘c’ word. Potential victims should avoid such a person like the plague.

"Trump is afraid (to debate). Cruz will have facts at his disposal...."

I have a picture of a Cruz-Trump debate.

Cruz will debate in his grating Mickey Mouse voice using facts, figures, data, graphs, charts, black boards, white boards...and he'll quote verbatim from the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Gettysburg Address, 2 Corinthians, the Encyclopedia Brittanica and the local telephone directory.

Mr. Trump will use garbled quotes from Hillary Clinton, Rosie O'Donnell, Megyn Kelly, the Rev. Falwell, the Duck Dynasty guy, Tom Brady, Ted Nugent, Mike Tyson, Glenn Beck and the profit and loss statement of the NY Times.

During the debate, Cruz supporters will fall sound asleep in their chairs like the dormouse at the Mad Hatter's tea party...while Trump supporters will be on their feet clappin' and stompin', and after the debate they'll head to the local IHOP for pancakes and pork sausage patties and autograph each other's red Trump caps.

Excellent analysis of situation on the ground! Trump should ask you to join his brain trust.

LOL....too perfect.

During one of the debates I said something along those lines..... Trump will bomb the $#!t outta ISIS while Teddy tries to debate the downside with the savages.

If debaters could win presidency, Reagan and the 2 Bushes had no chance to ever become president.

No my friend, LIKABILITY is what wins presidency. Take it to the bank. And that is why the supreme debater, with the constitution & bible memorized, can not catch up to the candidate who has never debated in his life before joining this circus of career politicians who debate all day long in congress.

Cruz is nasty but Shumer, Reid and pelosi are people he can work with...

Trump is laying the ground work with the dems. If they turn nasty, he lays into him. That's how he operates. Personally, I'd love it if he takes on Harry Reid and give it back to that old coot. That POS Ryan actually did kiss up to the dems and gave them more than what they asked for last December.

Then you really, seriously need to give it more thought. It's not about MK per se, it's about FOX being anything but "fair and balanced," and the stunt with the YouTube ~~stars.

No reasonable person helps his opponent ambush him.

Love the picture you have painted, lol. I can see it all play out in my mind’s eye.

Unless you control the state organizations you control nothing. The fight is for state deligares of which Trump has none.

You may be right but at least I will wear my red cap with a real Trump autograph on the front!

Tonight Fox will learn the extent of anger in this country, just as the RNC has learned this primary season.

40-50% loss of viewers?
