Panic Time for FOX and GOP….

FOX News host Greta Van Susteren asked her conservative viewers if they will tune in to Thursday’s GOP debate now that Donald Trump has announced he will not participate.

6 debates is enough already. I am happy to watch a Trump townhall instead. Fox can suck eggs for all I care. I loathe Megyn Kelly and Wallace and Baier are not far behind.

Total viewership has dropped every debate; however, the last debate which was the smallest this election cycle still pulled in over 11M viewers and was still approximately 50% larger than the the largest viewership in 2012 which had 7.5M and double the viewership for the debate on Jan 26, 2012 which was at 5.6M.

So an 83% drop is unlikely. A 50% drop though is very possible.

This is big. Why does Republican debates have to put up with crap from leftist biased media? The debate Candy Crowley moderated in 2012 when she interrupted Rommey to defended Obama, the producer should have hauled her off the floor and ended the debate for the violation!

Meghan Kelly is biased, have leftist activists ask questions at a Republican Primary debate is BS! Democrats would NEVER allow a right leaning activist to ask them questions!

Trump’s decision is awesome! FOX wanted to ambush Trump and other more conservative candidates, because yebbie is surging in Ndw Hampshire!!!

You want Jeb!?

Correct. The closest thing to a conservative network is One America News.

Bogus poll. Did not ask if you had watched the other debates but were not going to watch this one because Trump was not participating. We didn’t watch any of the others and don’t plan on watching this one, regardless of who participates. So the conclusion drawn from this poll is that we are not watching because of Trump. Just not true.

And if you were to ask if people supported Ron Paul in 2008 you’d get 103% yes. Online polls are utterly meaningless. Always have been.

I read that Fox had the audacity to call Trump’s wife and daughter,trying to get them to persuade Donald to change his mind.
What next?Will Fox threaten to sue Trump for the lost ad revenue?

I am a Cruz supporter, but I have been enjoying the way Trump makes the establishment heads explode.

My degree is in Political Science, but I rarely watch the debates, mostly because they aren’t really debates.

With Trump on the stage it became entertaining. I tuned in just to see the fireworks.

I do think that MK went waaaaaay overboard in the first debate by attacking Trump. Her post debate antics just piled on - I mean interviewing (and laughing along with) Michael Moore? Really?

I will likely not watch this debate. Just seeing MK makes my blood boil.

They are far from conservative.

Every field reporter resist any criticism of Obama even though they report on conservative pretty fairly. No matter what the issue they try and exempt Obama from any fault in what ever they are complaining about. Among the leggy blondes I would be hard pressed to name one that I did not think will vote for Hillary.

I, also, don’t plan on watching. I will tune in during commercials. But, I don’t need to hear any more “you won’t believe how great I will make America” to know what Donald is going to say. Maybe, some of the others can explain how to do it.

A VERY scientific poll, too! Just look at the methodology!

I watch all the snarky remarks about Drudge's instant polling as well but despite the complaining the results usually match the later polls which the complainers always fail to mention.

"I’ve yet to watch any of the debates."

I haven't watched any of them either, Demo or Republican.

I was going to say I feel bad for Bret Baier for being mixed in with this group, but I Binged his name to make sure I got the spelling correct and found that his first name is William; Bret is his middle name. So now he is mixed in with JEB! (John Ellis Bush) Bush, Mitt Romney, and Jerry Rivers. Sorry, Bret.
