Attending the debate might have cost him the election. It was an ambush aimed solely at taking Trump out. Megyn had to settle for attacking Cruz & Rubio.

The debate was an ambush FOR Trump against his opponents. Fox has been promoting Trump.

"Attending the debate might have cost him the election. It was an ambush aimed solely at taking Trump out."

Exactly right. He made a calculation that the final debate was the last, best chance for the GOP establishment - with FOX moderators as willing accomplices - to take down Trump. He had a lead going in, and thought it would hold up even if he skipped the debate.

Actually, if Trump DID go to the debate, he might have come in third, depending on how hard they went after him, and if anything stuck.

If Megan Kelly can take Trump out so easily, I don’t fancy his chances against Putin or the Chinese.
I guess Trump just isn’t presidential grade material...

And both Cruz and Rubio weathered the storm, showing they could handle the pressure, and both outperformed their polling.

Trump tried to look tough. Instead, he looked weak and afraid. He under-performed, in part, because of it.

I agree. I think he made the right decision. Fox was 100% after him - to make him look bad. They even had the audience set up.
