FOX apologizes to Trump!
Whammo!

I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.†I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans†first. Now, I’m not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that “usually get out and voteâ€, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.†I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
Fox will send out a tweet later “we did not apologize”. Just like OReilly claims he did not beg Trump to come to the debate...even though we all saw it.
“$5 $10 $15 $20 $50 $100 Whatever you can give!”
What??? The Ted family has only donated less than 1% to ANY charity??
Wait, Trump’s been getting hammered for his charitable donations, on this forum.
Waddya know?
OMG I shouldn’t laugh at that. But I can’t help myself!
It does remind me of his more looney supporters.
Huck and Mrs. Huck again.
A Huckabee sighting.
More from interview: Donald Trump on Fox News: “They did apologize, by the way, which was very nice!
Love it! Trump wins again!!
Woo hoo!!
You can go to Trump’s website and get a link for donation right there. I did it earlier today.
Trump kids in the house. He will introduce entire family tonight.
OVER $420,000 RAISED TODAY
Wife and kids are there tonight.
Now the Trump “kids”. They are a great looking bunch.
Heidi looks like a hen pecking at grain in that video.
I hope that happens. There are many worthy veterans organizations and tonight Trump will announce which one(s) will be receiving the results of tonights event.
CNN has some Hillary event on now and she is trying to appear animated and it looks terrible. I have the sound off so I have no idea what she is saying. She is moving her arms around a lot like Kaisch.
And Bubba is in the split screen and he is looking bad. I almost feel bad for him.
The 3rd split screen is Bernie and he looks like he could keel over and any moment.
FOX apologizes to Trump!
Whammo!
Huck and Santorum there.
He should let BOTH of them speak.
Anyone see Cruz scurrying around the Huckabee event with the Kentucky Clerk of Court? Sad. “Give that man a mic!!”
