Donald Trump is the first alpha male to run for president since L.B.J., but his opponents think it's clever to claim that he's "scared" of Fox News Channel's Megyn Kelly because he's said he's skipping this week's Republican debate. This is like attacking 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney for being a libertine - or President Bill Clinton for being boring.
In addition to being the only candidate who will build a wall and deport illegals, apparently Trump is the only candidate who knows how to land a punch.
Whenever you hear someone say Trump is boycotting the debate because of Kelly, remember that he didn't pull out until Fox issued a juvenile press release, saying it had heard from "a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly" and "a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers."
Wow - where did Trump ever get the idea that Fox was treating him badly?
Fox has made a habit of insulting Trump - provided he's not there to respond. After the first debate - which, incidentally, all the polls say Trump won — Fox let it be known that the moderators had been prepared to forcibly remove Trump from the debate if he failed to follow the rules. Brett Baier even revealed their cute little speech before they would escort him to the elevator: "We don't want to have to escort you to the elevator outside this boardroom. But we're locked and loaded."
Trump has gotten along well enough with bankers, unions, mafia dons and New York City bureaucrats to make himself a billionaire. Why him? Why not Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)? And why leak it after it was obviously not necessary?
It's true that Trump has focused his complaints about Fox News's coverage of him on the network's star anchor, Kelly. I assume he's using Kelly as a cat's paw for an attack against the entire Rupert Murdoch enterprise, which is implacably pro-open borders, pro-amnesty and, consequently, anti-Trump.
No one thinks Kelly was up in her office alone, furiously scribbling her questions for Trump. Before that first debate, there were stories all over about the whole Fox News team working on the debate questions.
But most people don't know who Murdoch is. Kelly is a star. By attacking her, Trump anathematizes the entire, pro-amnesty network.
One of the biggest problems facing the nation is that viewers think of Fox as the "conservative" network. If NBC or ABC were this spiteful to Trump, everyone would see it for what it is: political bias. Your enemies can never hurt you; only your "friends" can.
Fox News's bias is more insidious. The hosts avoid stridently attacking Trump. You simply never hear from any pro-Trump guests - unless they're completely ineffective. Immigration-opponents have been aggressively shut out - just as they were when Mr. Amnesty John McCain was running for president in 2008

In the meantime I’ve decided, for the most part, not to engage the anti-Trumpers.
Most of us are entrenched, and it’s just a food fight, or worse, digested food fight.
So, I take it if he is the nominee, you won’t be voting...or will you vote for Hillary???
Anybody who thinks Trump is not a party to the 'cheap labor express' doesn't get it. Trump imported Polish workers to be paid $5 per hour, 12 hours a day, seven days a week, with no overtime under a shell subcontractor who had never done that kind of work. There were no hard hats or gloves provided, there may have been asbestos for which there was no breathing protection. Some of the workers got stiffed.
There's a reason he wants "the good ones" among illegal aliens back into America as "legal" and "rapidly." IMHO, Jeff Sessions was simply duped. He wouldn't be the first. Trump is a pro at that.
Ann Coulter. . . . Fox News contributor who consistently backs establishment Republican candidates from McCain to Romney to Christie. Who cares what she says. When’s her next book coming out?
Fox news is a business. It must take some liberal positions to do business.
Trump showed Fox news how to survive. Shrugs.
I would say that Trump has had it with all of the debate hosts, on all networks, in that they are completely biased and have been for decades. Why have enemy agents pose as unbiased moderators, only to then have them ask gotcha’ questions without any substance, mocking the candidates, and by proxy their viewers, and doing everything they can with their bully pulpit to harm the GOP candidates, albeit under the guise of fairness, and keep taking it up the keister? FOX was simply unhinged in their zeal and carelessly aggressive plans to take it up a notch and got caught. The people postulating that Trump is afraid of Kelly are as stupid as that notion. Trump is fearless. Like someone else said- Trump went on FOX/O’Reilly last night and criticized FOX.
You would rather have her as prez over Trump?
The RNC and Fox News are doing all they can to destroy Trump and Cruz's chances to be president.
Cruz isn't safe just because they are concentrating on Trump, he's next.
“I’ve never noticed a pro-open borders bias on Fox. What am I missing?”

`Murdoch: Immigrants enrich our culture’
And our prisons. And highways. And Americans’ jobs ...
Trump opened the “Build a wall!” genie’s bottle. Any of you claiming otherwise are just fooling yourselves.
Cruz: a legal alien.
Every show on the Fox News Channel evidently.
Are you saying that because you've seen pro-open borders bias on FNC, or just because some of their people have been skeptical or critical of Donald Trump? Because not everybody who doesn't trust Trump is for open borders. Some people just don't trust the guy.
Thanks for the post.
Good one Ann... once again Ann 'gets it'...
Nice rant! With ya there.
I can’t help you. If you can’t see it, it is because you:
A: Are Blind
B: You don’t watch FNC
If you ever get it fixed check out FNC versus CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS and see who's running all the weepy stories about "dreamers" and illegal immigrants.
It isn't Fox News.
“Trump is pro-open borders.”
And you are pro BS.
Total lie. Trump continues to appear on all Fox shows except Megyn Kelly. This isn’t about Fox. It’s about Trump hating any woman he can’t control and who stands up to his bullying and insults.
You are full of $hit Nick Carraway!
Your lie, tell it how you want.
You are such a child in your tactics, all one can do is laugh when seeing your lame comments.
Trump is pro-open borders.
Just to show folks how your mind works.
