IF you think this is “fear” you have no concept of strategic thinking. Better leave the thinking to the rest of us.

Not at all. It’s a brilliant set up.

Where were you for the last 8 years when Rush was calling on the GOP to do exactly this? Why let the drive-bys set the agenda and the rules? Why gives seven guys + mods two hours to do nothing but bash you?

Wow, would NOT want you as a campaign manager.

Trump hasn't been part of the eGOP "scene" in DC and those that have spent their entire lives climbing the social ladder in the eGOP are scared they won't retain their positions if Trump wins. Period. THAT is why they oppose Trump.

You mean he runs and cries.

Cruz just said he would debate Trump, just the two of them.

Isn’t this exactly what Rush has called the GOP to do for years? Don’t play their rigged debate game?

This indeed will crush the power of the drive bys in a monumental way.

He should be presidential material and not be cowed by anyone.

Here's some recent Republican presidential material :

#8 Donald cannot answer questions? I guess he really is thin skinned.
Out of all the people in this country and we get people who are either traitors and crooks or have a ego who whine constantly, running for president.

He’s been interview and picked apart by everyone including the GOP. Why willingly walk into an ambush?

It may take people a while to realize that Fox News is not nearly the refreshingly balanced resource, i.e. conservative network that Liberals have been spewing venom against for years.

Indeed, Fox has demonstrated for years that they are in fact a ‘Fox in the hen house.’

I gave up on them a few years ago though I occasionally still tune in.

I consider that channel to be in many ways more sinister than any other media outlet as they have fooled so many regarding their true nature.

I believe if Trump thought attending this debate would be of any kind of benefit to him, Kelly, Twitter snark or not, Trump would be there.

IMO its clear his internals are telling him that for whatever reason it would be better for him politically if he not attend.

Man I called that. Cruz on Levin calling out Trump to debate one on one, either on Levin or Rush’s show, or a Lincoln-Douglas style debate. Great move by Cruz.

YOur example is not accurate.

Trump’s twitter question responses indicated he should attend the debate.

He charted his own course, especially after the insulting press release by Fox.

Make no mistake about it, that release was an insult, and it would still be if it was directed at any other candidate.

Trump does not need the debate; Fox clearly does.

As another poster said, the advertisers are calling Roger Ailes right now and refusing to pay the ad rates which were predicated on Trump being there.

Huh? So the seven dwarfs fight it out, with no one watching, and Trump masters the media.

Just watch. This makes him more unbeatable than ever. Brilliant strat-—and, by the way, the one Rush has called for on his program for years.
