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

Very, very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wouldn’t criticize Trumps timing.
He’s pretty good at his friend Ty Ming.
Oh, please, poor Ann! The one who is supposedly anti-abortion but said she’d vote for Trump even if he personally performed abortions on the White House lawn? Because she hates immigrants (particularly Latin Americans, legal or illegal) so much and thinks he does too, whatever he does is cool with her and she’ll try to rationalize it.
But Trump’s hissy fit has nothing to do with immigration or anything reasonable. It’s fear because he has no answers, even for somebody like Fox interviewers. So now he’s appearing with Huckabee tonight?
Don’t buy into the media hype. Trump is the worst candidate on amnesty.
Second!
Oh how I love irony.
Who you going for, Jeb, Rubio, Clinton, Sanders?
They are better at the amnesty thingie right?
For no reason? The anti-Crony capitalist crusader just endorsed the king of crony capitalism! Sarah Palin is finished in the Tea Party movement.
Do you know the difference between “interviewer” and “moderator”???
The debates are supposed to have “moderators”...not “interviewers”
That’s why Trump refused to attend this debate...Kelly didn’t “modrate”...She inserted her own opinion into the grilling of Trump on the very first “question”...
It was shameful, to say the least...
Trump has a vested financial interest in amnesty and he can’t stop talking about it.
I put as much faith in “polls” as I do Trump’s newly minted “conservatism”.
It’s been shown very effective that it is Fox News that is having the hissy fit.
You sure spout some pretty far fetched lies.
You seem to also be humor/satire depraved.
I call it like I see it. Would you prefer that I pretend that Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter did not sell out when they endorsed Trump? If you you’re gonna talk the talk, then walk the walk. They are done.
PS Coulter has sold out many times...but whose counting...
I’m sure I’m right.
Two years from now, when they see Trumps promises being kept, most of the anti-Trump posters will be grudgingly admitting to themselves that he’s doing OK.
Three years from now, after his second year, they will be openly supporting him.
There will be a few, of course, who will be either silent, or booted.
TED CRUZ 2016
Love Ann!
I believe you are right also...he is NOT a politician...He has always been someone who DOES things, not just talk about them...Look what he did for the skating rink in New York City...That is Trump....
TrumpCare.........not actually the same thing, Worse, and he is telling all he wants Single payer right now.
Hellary: destroy all who oppose them, anyway, anytime. Bash, humiliate and destroy anyone who gets in her way.
Trump: destroy anyone who gets in his way with his childish nonsensical twitter antics.
Yes, same/same The similarities are so much the same to me, it is sickening.
