Donald Trump feud causes panicking Fox News CEO Roger Ailes to call Ivanka and Melania in attempt to get the frontrunner BACK to the debate - but he'll only speak to Murdoch

Donald Trump's refusal to attend Fox News' debate on Thursday night has sent Fox News into chaos The network's CEO has reportedly reached out to both Ivanka and Melania Trump to try and get the Republican front-runner to change his mind He refuses to attend over the inclusion of anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the debate moderators and will only speak to network head Rupert Murdoch Kelly meanwhile welcomed liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on her program Tuesday night who applauded her handling of the Trump feud One Fox News anchor said of Moore and Kelly; 'That would be like Rachel Maddow laughing along with Charles Koch as he trashed Hillary Clinton!' Trump called Kelly a 'lightweight reporter' on Wednesday morning and his campaign manager said she is 'completely obsessed' with Trump

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.

Look everyone needs to calm down, Fox is just following the normal plan which other networks use when holding a Democratic debate. They ridicule the leading candidate and invite outside advocates who work against the leading candidate to ask questions...............

OOPS, Never mind.........

I don’t understand why Fox would undermine the leading Republican candidate. It’s beyond stupid. They should have worked this out months ago.

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.

That pic of Murdoch with Jarrett and Jeb, and the pic of Megyn Kelly sucking up to Michael Moore, should be enough to tell everyone with an IQ above room temperature where Fox News' sympathies lie.

Yep. As liberal as can be, and zero integrity.

Question is, why is Ailes so obsessed with Kelly? Why does she have so much power at Fox? She's not that good, and she's totally enamored with herself.

(she's got a great personality... yeah... that's the ticket)

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?

Steve, I really don't care what Megan makes or how she hold her job.

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.
