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.

[Trump looks like a petulant little 3rd grader here. Presidential? Not so much.]
History disagrees with you....
http://www.nationalreview.com/article/423381/iran-deal-reagans-lesson-walk-away-bad-deal
Stick it FOX! You wanted an ambush just days before the Iowa caucuses! The democrats wouldn’t allow a conservative group to ask questions of their candidates, yet you allow that Islamic activist on the debate! Screw you!
If Trump were President and in the midst of making a deal with IRAN where Iran wanted to keep their nuclear bomb making facilities, their money, not make any concessions at all to the US and Trump stood his ground and refused to make the deal... would you still call him a petulant little 3rd grader ?
Look behind you.
See that?
That’s the lack of people that’s buying into your talking point.
LOL!
That would be unbelievable.
If it’s not cancelled, I’ll do $50 to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. I’m very grateful for my healthy children and grandchildren.
I hope Trump tweets that his movement all his voters should turn FUX off and don’t watch Fux.
The ratings come in every day and they set the advertising fees for commercial. Fux doesn’t care about conservatives or they wouldn’t have been for Romney, but Murdoch cares about MONEY.
Also, Me Gyn is the Bimbo with the Crooked Nose.
Boycott watching Fux, let Roger “the snake” Ailes squirm.
He will or he won't.....leave it at that.
If not for Trump, Test Patterns would get better ratings than these debates.
At this point, Trump doesn’t need the debates. The ones that NEED it are Cruz and all the others PLUS Fox.
Fox probably would sell Megyn down the river if they wouldn’t lose face, but my guess is that if they REALLY want him to be there, they’ll ‘convince’ Megyn to withdraw based on her ‘integrity’ and Fox Team spirit.
Ha ha...
Boy the liberal trolls s ure have come out from under their rocks.
If they have an actual "illegal immigrant", If I were Trump, I would use my connections to make certain that ICE officials were present, and when the illegal immigrant was brought out, I would ask him if he were an illegal immigrant, and if he said "Yes", then I would turn to the ICE officials and say "Arrest that man! He's in the country illegally."
Trump would then win the election. Everyone would be shocked that someone would have that kind of balls.
No, then they make it all about Trump vs that lightweight bimbo and cast Trump as a thin skinned bully costing poor poor working girl Megyn her chance to shine
It is really about the overall unprofessional behavior ofthe FOX news corporation
They even invited hostile muslima and illegal immigrant agitators to participate as audience members to pose questions at Trump .... Do you think this is a set up? Who needs this?
Bingo.
Anyone that wants the destruction of the biased American alphabet soup propaganda agencies should side Trump, now. Otherwise we’ll know who is for propaganda on a scale that Goebbels never dreamed of.
Ratings? I don't know other than that. She isn't good at being a journalist.
This is the "serious journalist" practicing being serious.
[Will the Republican National Committee try to force him into showing? Will they ‘punish’ him into coming? ]
If the RNC didn’t force Rand Paul last debate or punish him for not attending, then Trump shouldn’t be either. It would display a HUGE double standard for the RNC.
I think he looks very Presidential. He refuses to get in the mud with immature Fox News. I say good on Trump. If he looked like a child, Fox News wouldn’t be calling his wife and ex-wife, they would be glad he was not part of it. Trump is absolutely amazing. I love that he is making Fox News nervous. All they had to do was not have her moderate.
I can’t wait to see the ratings for Trumps event taking place at the same time. It is going to be historic. If Fox News gets 6 million viewers tomorrow night I will be stunned.
It appears that Ailes is ailing and has not been to work for a while, Murdoch is setting the agenda by attending daily executive meetings.

Hey....what's 20 million less viewers.
