Absolutely brilliant move by Trump. On so many levels. And so many levels above the status quo
I wish they had done that. It would have given Trump another 10 points in the polls!
Thanks for this reminder. The appalling Bret Baier was going to lead Trump from the stage! I’ll never forget that. Sam Donaldson at his worst never treated Nixon or Reagan like that!
Link to the first FOX debate below (and I don't even have to remind everyone that the first two questions to Cruz this last debate were zingers too).

Actors, they are just TV actors playing news anchors, I repeat actors....
I had an image of Muslims crying and wailing that they were being pursued like Jews in Germany, that Trump wanted to evict them from America, to remove them from all the jobs in law, education, transportation, to enforce anti Sharia laws, to restrict new Mosque building, to make Americans stand up against them without repercussions.
I think whats NOT being said us Fox had Islamic traps much like a road side bomb.
Trump is smart, saw it, is going around it.
No wonder the republican party has lost its edge ever since 1933 when they became democrats, and the democrats became socialists. A debate is needed not gotcha questions, zingers, personal attacks all from the so-called moderators who seem mostly democrat operatives. This election cycle is not only a disaster, but more and more looking like a lost cause for the America it used to be.
The debate tomorrow should feature Bush vs. Fiorina with the remaining candidates doing the Trump charity telethon on CNN. Fox needs to suffer big time over their bias and propaganda.
This needs to be spread around to our contacts.
Trump has lots of horsepower, I just wish I could trust his direction.
This is far from over. Fox’s actions will cost them for along time to come. Especially in my house.
The Cruz folks have a right to be mad at FOX as well. They intentionally walked Ted the whole time. They wouldn’t dare throw a ball anywhere near the plate. FOX is scum and should be treated like it.
Her question to Trump on his comments on women and how he would respond to them when debating Hillary made Kelly a ‘prime-time star’?
???
So in other words, these debates really don’t mean squat, they are setup not for the American People, but for the Press to feel good about themselves, and the only way they can do that is to IGNORE the Real Problems facing this country.
I guess my decision to limit my Fox News viewing was a smart move after all.
THE KELLY FILE for July 27, 2015
Kelly File, The [Fox News] (USA) - July 27, 2015
EXCERPTS
Joining me now, FOX News digital politics editor Chris Stirewalt who is intimately involved in the debate process, as I can attest firsthand working with you at length and already today, we had a lengthy meeting doing one of the most important things you can do in the presidential process which is to come up with questions for these guys and potentially gal, who will stand on this stage this time in ten days.
(snip)
STIREWALT: I gleaned that Donald Trump says a lot of stuff. I gleaned that Donald Trump when he talks about the border, when he talks about all the stuff. When they get on that debate stage, it�€™s going to be very hard. You can't fact check it, you can't do it in real time.
KELLY: Uh-mm.
STIREWALT: Because he makes these claims, like I have journalists call me and say that they're sorry and that they were wrong. Which journalists? Who? When? Where? Who is this?
KELLY: Uh-mm.
STIREWALT: And he just keeps moving through. He rolls like a free train. And the question is, for him, in a debate, in a one-minute increment of time, with you pressing him, with Bret pressing him, with Chris pressing him, is he going to be able to just bulldoze through or is he going to have to fill in the blanks?
KELLY: My own impression is, if you dodge and weave enough, the viewers will hold it against you. The anchors - the viewers need to understand the debate we have far less opportunity than, say, here on THE KELLY FILE to interrupt the candidate and make them answer the questions we ask, but there are rules that govern this debate. But we're going to try. And if you continue to dodge, they know, they know when you dodge. So, my advice to these candidates is, don't make me hurt you.
Why are they dredging up old news that was reported on back then? If Trump can’t handle a Fox News debate, how can he handle the general election debates which will be fully in the tank for the Democrat? Trump’s not a good debater. He needs the experience. This is called taking a job and then not showing up to do it.
You’re fired, Trump.
Here say. Where is the evidence of this plan? Beyond this article saying it?
Honestly the level of Trump worship here is getting sickening.
He would probably be a fine POTUS but really people, get a grip.
Fuax News and the rest of the media, National Review and the RNC are playing checkers while Trump is playing chess which is always the way it is.
