The Fox News and Donald Trump feud is heating up now that the Republican front-runner has announced he will not be attending the network's debate Thursday night over the presence of anchor Megyn Kelly.
And while the network appears to be publicly siding with Kelly, who is still set to moderate Thursday's debate, the network is also reportedly trying to privately plead with Trump the best way they know how - through the women in his life.
Joe Scarborough revealed on Morning Joe Wednesday morning that Fox News CEO Roger Ailes had been trying to contact both Ivanka and Melania Trump hoping they could convince Trump to change his mind.

And WHY did Reagan refuse...
https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/never-back-fight-debate-another-story/
“The same year, Ronald Reagan refused to participate in the 1980 Iowa Republican debate, saying he thought it was wrong for Republicans to attack each other.”
That doesn’t sound like Mr. Trump does it? In fact, that is ALL he does just about...
Trump does NOT equal Ronald Reagan.
Reagan did it out of respect for the office and the other candidates.
Trump is doing it because he is a coward.
Yes. Trump is definitely beginning to remind me of Obama. Petulant, self-important, chicken sh*t bullying twit who tweets his snark.
OOPS, Never mind.........
That is EXACTLY what this is about!! WE all have watched the media over MANY years just slime our side, Candy Crowley injecting herself into the debate lying about the facts she spewed Romney NOT fighting back of course!! I say GO TRUMP show us what you are made of!!!! EVERYONE spewing Trump is AFRAID of Megan GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!
I don’t understand why Fox would undermine the leading Republican candidate. It’s beyond stupid. They should have worked this out months ago.
Candy Crowley is at large.
Just a minor edit there Count ;)
what exactly is holding up Megyn Kelly’s career given that she has just lost $20M and 20M viewers for Fox?
What exactly is she delivering to her bosses to make up for that $20M?
Yes, Megyn brought it on herself.
Yes, everyone has every right to speculate.
No, those are porn star faux eyelashes.
(she's got a great personality... yeah... that's the ticket)
There’s a rumor some of the Candidates are asking to join Trump.
Don’t waste your breath, this place looks like a yahoo message board.
Like Sands Through the Hourglass....
It’s a soap opera.
Feminization of the whole election process. Tantrums and psychodrama.
Because he is not good for our side.
He is Mitt Romney 2.0. John McCain 2.0.
He is not conservative, and is a narcissist in it just for himself.
How can you not see that?
I didnt think I could lose anymore respect for Fox but if calling his wife and daughter are true? Oy!
fox not telling us the whole truth.....Was a set up that President to be Trump smelled out.... http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/01/26/2868743/
All brought on by a cowardly manchild running for the Republican Presidential candidacy...
The point is that Trump is drifting to the same ridicule the Clintons used and still use.
The Clintons are deplorable.....and all of FR has applauded that fact in the past. What happened?
Clinton Bimbo eruption....BAD
Trump......Good
Something's wrong with that attitude.
Such a cute pic!
