Trump fears a trap. In a debate. Where tough questions get asked. Where embarrassing questions get asked.
And you want me to believe that the clever Mr. Trump just can’t deal with those toughies.
That’s nonsense. A Fox Trap. Double nonsense.
Trump believes that his chance of winning in Iowa is better if he skips the debate. And he may well be correct in that assessment. But it is Cruz and Rubio who he fears not Fox and Kelly.
Half of Iowa will be watching. They won’t get to see Mr. Wonderful. They won’t miss much.
A risky political calculation by Trump and his advisors. I would like to wish them luck but somehow I can’t.
Fox Trap. What a joke. Get serious. Stop making excuses for Trump. He chickened out all on his own.
Chicken out or not, the move may benefit him in the caucuses and primaries.
