After every debate during presidential cycles, Republicans and conservatives come on FR and say, rightfully, "WHY does the Republican leadership allow our candidates to participate in these debates moderated by liberals and haters whose questions are totally designed in prejudice and bias to GET the Republican? Why do we do it every year? The Republicans need to refuse to do it with these main stream media/Government controlled media asking the questions with their extreme leftist/Democrat party bias."

EVERY debate season preceding every presidential election. Why doesn't the GOP chairman stop this, why AGREE to it, why not DEMAND to be treated fairly? Why do we need "moderators" asking questions anyway?

NOW we finally have a candidate with the cajones, the only one in this bunch, only one in living memory, to refuse to participate unless the debate host network removes the HIGHLY PARTISAN, unqualified, proven Trump hater, transparently seeking to curry favor with her left wing friends and colleagues.

And NOW the Cruzers on FR who weren't even around for all these previous debates in history, knew or cared nothing about politics or were simply Democrats---NOW these people, to support their Establishment candidate, call Trump a COWARD, he's too afraid to face Megyn Kelly. Even Ted Goldman Sachs Cruz is saying it. That's pitiful, because THIS is EXACTLY what conservatives and republicans have wanted for years and years: to NOT let the host network get away with using moderators who are leftists intent upon embarrassing and trying to ruin our candidates, in this case Trump.

So Trump is THE one to set the precedent, to DO what everyone before just TALKED about, and the idiots who should be over on Commitment2Establishment so childishly say, Trump is afraid of Megyn Kelly! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

PS---Trump kicked ass in SIX DEBATES and no one laid a glove on him, and now the losers want another shot at the heavy weight champion. But they aren't in his class. So no rematch.

If Cruz is really calling Trump a coward over this, he is dead to me. And I mean dead as in no vote in the general even if he is the nominee.

I’m going to see if I can find him saying this anywhere else though.

Don’t these people remember the Candy Crowley treatment? Do they really want that to be the norm?

Nobody would try that with Trump now.

Thank you for this post. The fact that Trump is skipping this debate for his principles is not evidence of cowardice, it is evidence of his massively huge balls. No candidate in history would have the balls to skip a pre Iowa debate.

People are so pussified now, that when they see someone breaking the rules and acting like a REAL AMERICAN, they need a fainting couch. Cruz is not riding Trumps coattails anymore, so he resorts to the simpleton ‘Trump is scared of the girl’ attack... hope Cruz does ok against the muslim and the bimbo in the debate....

Exactly. Trump has completely taken control of the narrative and the MSM is wondering what hit them. The entire game plan has been derailed.

Exactly why was a seventh Republican "debate" needed before the first primary vote is cast when the Democrats have only had five softball pageants that were scheduled so as to minimize exposure?

Trump is correct that it's been a combination of ratings greed and a transparent game of "gotcha" that everyone is tired of. Fox is now left with a shell of a debate that will only attract the same sort of rubbernecking interest that roadside collisions garner.

Nobody is going to remember or care what the rest of them say and the only real topic of conversation will be reactions to Trump's move, which keeps him front-and-center in the media (on his terms) whether they like it or not. Trump has simply shut out the news cycle between now and Monday with this brilliant and bold move.

BINGO! Thank you for your post. I COMPLETELY agree with you. Trump is the 1st one with the balls to say not only ‘NO” but “Hell NO” to this ongoing debate B$.
