Donald Trump is the first alpha male to run for president since L.B.J., but his opponents think it's clever to claim that he's "scared" of Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly because he's said he's skipping this week's Republican debate. This is like attacking 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney for being a libertine - or President Bill Clinton for being boring.
In addition to being the only candidate who will build a wall and deport illegals, apparently Trump is the only candidate who knows how to land a punch.
Whenever you hear someone say Trump is boycotting the debate because of Kelly, remember that he didn't pull out until Fox issued a juvenile press release, saying it had heard from "a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly" and "a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers."
Wow - where did Trump ever get the idea that Fox was treating him badly?
Fox has made a habit of insulting Trump - provided he's not there to respond. After the first debate - which, incidentally, all the polls say Trump won — Fox let it be known that the moderators had been prepared to forcibly remove Trump from the debate if he failed to follow the rules. Brett Baier even revealed their cute little speech before they would escort him to the elevator: "We don't want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom. But we're locked and loaded."
Trump has gotten along well enough with bankers, unions, mafia dons and New York City bureaucrats to make himself a billionaire. Why him? Why not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)? And why leak it after it was obviously not necessary?
It's true that Trump has focused his complaints about Fox News's coverage of him on the network's star anchor, Kelly. I assume he's using Kelly as a cat's paw for an attack against the entire Rupert Murdoch enterprise, which is implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump.
No one thinks Kelly was up in her office alone, furiously scribbling her questions for Trump. Before that first debate, there were stories all over about the whole Fox News team working on the debate questions.
But most people don't know who Murdoch is. Kelly is a star. By attacking her, Trump anathematizes the entire, pro-amnesty network.
One of the biggest problems facing the nation is that viewers think of Fox as the "conservative" network. If NBC or ABC were this spiteful to Trump, everyone would see it for what it is: political bias. Your enemies can never hurt you; only your "friends" can.
Fox News's bias is more insidious. The hosts avoid stridently attacking Trump. You simply never hear from any pro-Trump guests - unless they're completely ineffective. Immigration-opponents have been aggressively shut out - just as they were when Mr. Amnesty John McCain was running for president in 2008

I hear quite a lot of anti-Trump republicans/conservatives say if Trump is the nominee, they won’t vote...
In other words, you have no problem with just handing over the White House to an Obama sycophant, Hillary Clinton...
What is wrong with you people??? Are you basically admitting that you are nothing more than a RINO yourself??? Just exactly like the ones you’ve been complaining about for years......
So you specialize in forming a far?
If you are going get in a dig about Coulter, at least spell it right.
Coulter talks to Trump but that is not the point.
Trump is taking on the entire globalist agenda, which long term is anti-American, one world order. They’re starting to succeed in Europe, diluting national identities via immigration. Only Trump can stand up to it here. Pray for his protection.

Yes. In this case, when Trump says “Kelly Maygun” he is referring to Roger Ailes directly. DT indicated that the press release from FNC was likely okayed by Ailes and that set him off because it was a deliberate taunt.
A few hours later, Trump said he would talk with Murdock and only Murdock about fixing the situation. Even when DT said Kelly should be removed as moderator, I believe he was looking straight at Ailes as head honcho of FNC needing to be removed.
I sure hope this kind of info makes a news cycle.
So the masses actually learn what is going on.
GO TRUMP GO ! Tell it like it is !
Can’t believe how many posters here are living in the past.
Time to catch up if you want to be taken seriously.
So you still want Romney on the ticket huh?
Thanks, that’s a good article.
So does Trump. Trump’s campaign manager wants the most extreme amnesty possible, even worse than the Democrats.
Nope...those are Trumps words since Megyn Kelly asked him a “unfair” question about his own words.
Hillary or Trump? What difference would it make.
Fox has doubled down for this one.
They brought in a couple of ringers, one an Islamic Trump hater another one from you tube to show that the whole world hates Trump with the same passion Kelly and Murdoch do.
Murdoch wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal not too long ago arguing for greater immigration.
Then you haven’t listened to each and every one of them say mulitple times “you cant break in to their homes in the middle of the night and wreck their families and deport them”
Absolute Fox News mantra
If open borders were her real problem she would be calling for a boycott of all the networks but she isn’t.
I personally choose to watch the debate because I’m not so cowardly as to deliberately go out of my way as to avoid being an informed voter.
Six months from now most of them will grudgingly vote for Trump.
The rest?
Not needed to Make America Great Again.
*LOL* If you see no difference in those two, then there is no way I can help you....You HAVE to be kidding....
I hope you are right.....
