Fox News head will let Trump walk before replacing Megyn Kelly as debate moderator

Here we go again. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is publicly toying with the idea of bailing on a debate. He claims Fox News host Megyn Kelly, one of three moderators for Thursday's event in Des Moines, Iowa, is biased against him. So he might not show.

Exhibiting the resolute decision-making skills required of a commander-in-chief, Trump has asked the Twitterverse to help him choose whether to attend or not.

lol. Whiny baby can’t handle Kelly.

Considering how bad the Cruzbots have been melting down this past week, I would say that you guys are masters of the whine! "Please ban the evil Trump supporters! They're ruining FR!"

You can always research and read the positions of the other candidates.

He's going to look weak-willed when he does show up ... or be the brunt of every joke of the evening if he does not. Not a smart move this late in the game for the "leader" to hedge.

Guess who Kelley will go after if Trump isn’t there? Cruz.

Megyn Kelly: Queen of The Roller Derby. And “journalist” too.

The Same Reasoning, which will induce you to admit all Men, who have no Property, to vote, with those who have, for those Laws, which affect the Person will prove that you ought to admit Women and Children: for generally Speaking, Women and Children, have as good Judgment, and as independent Minds as those Men who are wholly destitute of Property: these last being to all Intents and Purposes as much dependent upon others, who will please to feed, cloath, and employ them, as Women are upon their Husbands, or Children on their Parents.

show how he can garner 270.

In his press conference that just finished, he said he would likely be doing something simultaneously for wounded warriors.

Wasn’t planning on watching the debate anyway. I think he probably should, but at this point most people are tired of all the debates. That’s why the last one only had 11 million viewers, the lowest of all the debates.

I’ve watched Megyn Kelly’s show, and it is very obvious she doesn’t like Trump, and she really shouldn’t have been selected as a moderator. I don’t see any of the moderators making it obvious that they don’t like any of the other candidates.

TRUMP takes up Barack Hussein Obama’s tactic by saying “DON’T CALL MY BLUFF”.

How pathetic can an attention whore get? The Donald knows.

It appears all of the whiny babies of the world are outraged over Trump's decision, and half of them are on this thread. Trump is making a smart move by not attending. It is about time somebody stood up to the media wing of the DC establishment. Not only will this help Trump win the primary (although, to be fair, it is essentially over, anyway), but it will also give Trump a ton of leverage down the road, given that the media will have to take his threats seriously.

And the only damage done is to the fragile sensibilities of a bunch of pearl-clutchers whining on the internet.

Have a Trump rally instead and invite CNN/MSNBC cameras.

Laugh at Fox News when the rally ratings come in beating the Fox News debate.

She's on the cover of next month's Vanity Fair, so I guess the whole "feud" thing is working out for both of them:

The irony is that Donald and Megyn actually have much in common. They both come out of the New York media world and share the same New York values. You can read that sarcastically, but also straightforwardly -- they're both very determined, successful people who understand the arts of publicity and self-promotion.

Darn straight!! The only moderators who should be selected should be those who ADORE & WORSHIP TRUMP.

Oh, I will if they are still around when the Minnesota caucus season arrives. I’m familiar with most of them but haven’t really paid much attention to several of them. So far I’ve only really focused on Trump, Cruz and Bush.

If he showed after what he just said he would look insane.

Fox News just screwed themselves, bad management.

The PR department just cost them MILLIONS in ad revenue.
