Trump to Skip Another FOX News Candidates Forum!
Fox News announced their next GOP event today, a town hall style event hosted by Megyn Kelly.
Four GOP Candidates will attend — BUT NOT DONALD TRUMP
The two-hour voter summit taking place in Houston, The Kelly File: Face to Face With Candidates, will feature the four additional remaining Republican candidates, according to Fox News. Those men are Dr. Ben Carson, Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Marco Rubio and Gov. John Kasich, who will join the event via remote. Audience members will pose questions to the candidates who will be onstage one at a time, according to the network.
Trump originally said he would attend the event but his campaign announced on Monday he was busy.
Donald Trump to Skip Fox News’ Town Hall Event With Megyn Kelly
The Trump campaign said he has previous engagements.
“The campaign has a previous engagement in Virginia and then New York, which could not be rescheduled,” Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks said in an email to The Hollywood Reporter. “Given this was just proposed at the last minute, it was not possible to change our plans in order to attend.”
Donald Trump did not attend the last FOX News debate in January before the Iowa caucuses.
The GOP has ignorantly incentivized big media to eviscorate their candidates… So Trump declined this week’s forum.
Megyn Kelly famously bragged after the first FOX News debate that the candidates are in the arena – “And so am I.”

All Kelly has on her show is a steady stream of Trump bashers, sometimes several on at a time.
Afraid of a girl.
HA!
We need more of these media money makers like we need Ms. Kelly. If you don’t know what’s going on by now, you’re stuck on stupid.
How can Fox News even consider Megyn Kelly an objective Moderator?
Half her show is attack Trump. While she sucks up to the latest Establishment Rat pick.
Lol - I seriously doubt he’s afraid of Kelly. I suspect he just doesn’t want to boost her ratings.
I can’t think of many people less relevant than Megyn Kelly.
Not likely. You want integrity? Well it shows a lot more integrity to refuse to play a stupid game with low lifes like Kelly than to submit to abuse as Cruz will suffer at her hands. I feel sorry for Cruz in this instance he will intentionally walk into a trap.
Trump just a a fantastic one hour town hall last night all to himself. Why should he share the stage with campaign losers who are going to sling mud at him??
What do you mean? Now is Ted’s time to shine! No Trump to overshadow him. Just like that debate that Trump skipped.
Bingo! That's what she looks like!
I love it. Sean gets an hour. Megyn gets nothing.
hahahaha
Why did they call this on short notice? Sounds like a set up.
Pray America wakes
Except Cruz is unprincipled.
I quit watching the debates. I wouldn’t have watched this either.
Too many of these this year. So much that they no longer mean anything.
He’s scared. He can’t answer questions and prefers a forum where all he has to do is make assertions and hurl insults.
You can count on it. Another GOPe set up to make lil Marco look good.
