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 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.

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