There is no question this Presidential primary season for Republicans has been history making. No one expected it possible to have a contested convention in Cleveland, Ohio… but candidates may be facing that, especially if conservative businessman Donald J. Trump doesn’t win Ohio or Florida on Tuesday.
That’s why Fox News just announced it will host its 4th Republican debate! it will be on March 21… And for the first time ever, the debate will take place in Utah! There has never been a Presidential debate in Beehive State before.
It’s scheduled for the Salt Palace Convention Center at 9pm, just days before the Arizona and Utah Republican primaries. After the debates helping Fox News break their own ratings records, they are certainly happy to host yet another debate between Trump, Ohio Governor John Kasich, and Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) if they all remain in the race.
The moderators will be Bret Baier, Chris Wallace, and the controversial Megyn Kelly.

Isn’t Trump scheduled to shine his shoes that night? Or something equally important...
Debates are a useless waste of time and serve no purpose whatsoever but to generate revenue for the hosting network.
Let Trump go, refuse to answer stupid questions, and tell the truth on the GOPe candidates.
^5
The window is closing to stop Trump, last ditch effort by Megyn and crew.
Trump does good tomorrow and shuts out "The Canadian", he should tell them to go to hell.
Romney will pack the auditorium with Dantes to take out Trump supportors.
face palm guy saying:
aw geez not this shit again.
Ditto Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich. I want hand-to-mano Trump and Cruz, and no hosts, and let's see who is the more Presidential.
I have no memory of that. Must be a protective reaction to the trauma.
Trump is not going to lose Florida and I doubt he will lose Ohio no matter what the polls say. The debate is useless.
What’s the “HUGE” announcement? The debate was on the schedule already...the fact that FoxNews is going to be the host can’t be “HUGE”...
FOX ALERT! - FOX ALERT! - FOX ALERT! - FOX ALERT! - FOX ALERT! - FOX ALERT!
They’re like the boy who cried “wolf!” Everything is an alert. Nobody pays attention any more. (And many have stopped watching Fox completely.)
FOx is trying to get the viewer numbers back...too little too late
Oh Trump will go
By now he has Cruz figured out
Cruz can debate but he can’t talk
Trump gobsmacked him last time
This time He also will be prepared for FOX to have a complete powerpoint dissection of his and ONLY his policies, many of which are published
but maybe he can drop a big bombshell on everyone just before or during the debate
No one handles off-script like Trump. It is getting tiresome to watch the gladiator go into the ring time after time against the same media malevolents looking for blood, not discussion and not debate
You joke but by then they may very well have Romney in the debate. The RNC can make any rule changes they seem necessary.
I agree.
Pay attention to Nancy Reagan.
Just say no.
The Country is sick of these debates
Fox started out at 25 Million last debate 11 Million
People have seen every fight and Meghan Kelly and Chris Wallace snarky questions
Debate exhaustion here. Not the candidates’, mine. I wouldn’t mind seeing a real debate with real debate rules, but these contrived media shows are nothing more than “Let’s see if we can make a name for ourselves forcing a mistake.” Sorry, sell-by date has been passed on that one.
Honestly I hate this. But they are throwing EVERYTHING at Trump and failing. This can only help trump more. Maybe for once they can ask Cruz a question he will have to answer instead of bash trump like he did with the Cuba question. I know doubtful.
Maybe that's the germ of a good idea. Put Romney, Ryan, McCain and Dole on the stage and let Trump ask the questions.
I agree.
The debates this political season have been a farce.
In the future the parties should allow the media to air the debates, but questions should come from a panel of moderators that have been selected by the candidates.
Either each could name one person who would ask 3-5 questions each or some other equitable selection could be found.
This media taking down the candidates like a rodeo cowboy takes down and hog ties a calf, is unacceptable.
