I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.†I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans†first. Now, I’m not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that “usually get out and voteâ€, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.†I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
That's great!
I think he and Britt Hume love to watch and listen to Trump.
I think Brit Hume is on pins and needles, hoping that Cory L or Trump himself doesn’t break the story about Brit’s affair with Lightweight Journalist Megyn Kelly.
It’s fairly common knowledge on FR, but I don’t think the American public know about it. Why is it important? Because it lends credibility to charges that Lightweight Journalist Megyn Kelly slept her way to her show.
One thing is obvious though, Brit has not been a Trump supporter in any way—every time he is asked to comment he is negative towards Trump==and the request to comment often on Kelly’s show - she refers to him as Pastel Brit because he wears patel shirts.
The Winner thread. ;-)
Awesome pics, thank you,
Newt spoke without hearing the entire truth
Gretchin has worked with Trump in beauty industry. Greta and He both support and work with Samaitans Purse. Kimberly is a personal friends of Malania. JudgeJaneen go back 25 years when DT stood by her when her husband turned out to be a sleaze. DT has lots of true friends at FOX.
Peter Johnson is a D ( conservative D) and has worked for DT The list goes on and on When Bob Beckle said FoX is in Chaos. He knew what he was saying
That is the most shamefull, pitifull, disgracefull photo of Kelly Megyn? Is she actually proud of this moment?
Doe she realize that there are a few others at her network, who many of us fine, more attractive inside and out, and vastly better when it comes to the interview? For example no one on the planet does a major crime story better than Greta. And that look she give her guest occasionally, like “Come on Man!”
In fact, can you imagine being married to Greta and you saunder home like at 2 am in the morning, and she’s waiting for you? Can you imagine the third degree you’d get...(I think her husband is deceased...so I’m not trying to be morbid here or disrespectful, but I think you know my thoughts. I heard that they had a great marriage....)
unformatted ambush with other activist questioners....
Why, oh why, is FOX allowing a Mexican, lacking legal status, to ask questions in a US election, instead of US Citizens????
I agree. Michael Moore is using her like an old dish towel.
Online donations to Trump’s Vet Foundation just hit $250,000!
I don’t know about Pirro, but Brett should be embarrassed; he helped plan it, rehearse it and fine tune it, from what I read. He even planned and rehearsed his own line, where like on The Apprenticeâ€, he would inform Trump that he was fired, and have him led off the stage.
Some time ago, in a doctor’s waiting room I read an article about Brett, his family and their devout catholic faith, etc. What a kick in the slats to realize what a two-faced snake he is!
On the Tuesday evening news Baer did an interview with Trump. At the very end, Baer closed by asking Trump, “See ya’ Thursday night, right?†And Trump said something to the effect that he was doubtful; and shortly thereafter his campaign said he would NOT be there. But it really rankles me, that after all the conniving, plotting and setting the trap; Baer’s parting effort with Trump, was to attempt, by asking Trump the question, to lure him into it.
You don’t need to record c-span, just go to their website and watch it there whenever you want.
I’m ready for top of the hour. I bet Trump releases the program to coincide with local news shows. I have a small wager that Loretta Lynn will perform. Side bet Trace Atkins. Loretta would crush debate ratings in Iowa.
Just noticing at the donation page, it says
“100% of your donations will go directly to Veterans needs”
100%
Directly
Amazing!

I understand the left wing guys in charge are refusing the money... so what are they going to do with it?
Nah.
That was one left-wing false-flag vet group made up of obama supporters.

Excellent report from your perspective!
Glad you had a good flight!
Marriott stays are always the best! Nice dinner out, business before pleasure, good luck!
I hope Trump IS joined by those others, last I heard, it was happening.
You know, God might just have a say in things too, and maybe His plan is coming together ... At least that’s the way I like to look at things :)
I can’t believe I’m excited to tune in to CNN ... See, you just never know, lol!
We miss you .... Catch up with us as soon as you can, we’re not going ANYWHERE ...
In It To Win It!
Go Trump!
It’s going to be exciting and VERY patriotic!
