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.

My wife used to be an obsessive nightly Fox fan. Watched that bitch and O’Reilly et al every night for hours after work.

After Megynnnnnn’s performance in the first debate, she cut off Fox cold turkey.

There’s a reason for that.

Trump looks like a petulant little 3rd grader here. Presidential? Not so much.

Looks more like a man who understands the public and is giving it to Ailes without the lube.

Looks like Trump is pitching 150 mile an hour fastballs, and the media keeps swinging and missing.

Disinvite the muslima and illegal immigrant activists they invited as audience plants

Busted!

On second thought, Donald is right to skip this one. Melania and Ivancka please stand with your man. Do you think they want him there to boost his chances to be elected as president???

Of course if he is elected, Kelley becomes Fox’ White House Correspondent.

She’d sell her soul (or a$$) willingly for a gig like that. It’s not like we all don’t know what she is.

Right. The plan was to have the youtube stars ask the gotcha questions. They have a muslim activist, an illegal immigrant, etc.

What do you do with a petulant 3rd grader? Put them in timeout and move on right? Well how come nobody is moving on? It's because the 3rd grader is right in this case. They need him. The candidates need him to be there especially Cruz because now all the fire is going to be directed at Cruz. FOX needs him there because nobody will be watching anyways. Why do you think Trump's play is getting such news? It's because he holds all the cards.

Agreed. Mr. Trump is certainly not so stupid as to walk right into an ambush. This is definitely a leader that we haven’t seen in a long time.

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.

Yeah, the whole damn system is falling apart and the usual suspects are raising hell because someone used the wrong fork at dinner.
