Donald Trump speaks during a campaign stop at Farmington High School on Jan. 25, 2016, in Farmington, N.H. (Photo: John Minchillo, AP) Protesting "wise guy" comments from Fox News about his criticism of anchor Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump said Tuesday he likely won't participate in Thursday's Republican debate -- and his campaign manager said later the GOP front-runner would in fact skip the event. "Most likely, I'm not going to be doing the debate," Trump told reporters before a rally in Marshalltown, Iowa. Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, later told reporters that the businessman would definitely not participate, and said it is not a matter of negotiation. Trump has threatened a debate boycott all week, describing Kelly as a "lightweight" who is biased against him. Trump's criticism led to pushback from Fox News, including one statement from the network earlier Tuesday that drew the businessman's ire: “We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.” Citing that statement, Trump said that Fox is "playing games" and that he will do an event for wounded warriors instead of Thursday's debate. Trump has attacked Kelly since an Aug. 6 debate in which the Fox anchor asked him about statements demeaning women. Kelly has declined to respond to Trump's attacks, but Fox has defended her and insisted she be part of the debate. Earlier this week, Fox said: "Megyn Kelly has no conflict of interest. Donald Trump is just trying to build up the audience for Thursday's debate, for which we thank him." Poster Comment: There are 7 participants left who can take turns explaining The Donald's problems. That should be fun. Plus the 4 in the kiddie debate.

The rest of the network is a bunch of Trump cheerleaders . Give me a break ! Kelly brings a little balance. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yep. Trump stands out as the only Alpha male among a group of otherwise cuckservative losers.
You've switched from Fox being "principled" to needing more anti-Trump bias. Those are some interesting principles you've got there.
Fox didn't need to have Megyn Kelly do the debate. This was a ratings move -- Watch Megyn Kelly vs. The Donald, Round II. "There is no basis to the charge that he is being unfairly treated. He said Megyn Kelly was biased, as evidenced by her first question in the last debate alluding to some War on Women by Trump. And he's right. "Trump has everything to lose and nothing to gain ;especially if he has a bad performance. That is the real reason he's bugging out." True. Making this a smart move. Besides, these "debates" are a joke. All they are is a big gotcha game with the MSM then deciding who "won" and who "lost".
Man. Was that a shot across the bow to all the other "journalists"?
As long as Trump keeps his doors securely locked at night.
Nice catch. And the question is who is Humpty Dumpty here, Trump, or Fox and the Republican Establishment. I will give you the answer before the voting: The Republican Establishment is going to lose, and Fox has jumped the shark. Remember "Mr Green, I paid for this microphone!" Fox is the new Mr. Green.
How liberal of you to tell him what his position should be. For the record Reagan skipped the final debate before Iowa.
You just played the trump card.
just giving some friendly advice. This is how it's done . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cj7OHEnz9KE Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Tomder, You dislike Trump. Fair enough. If he's the nominee, will you vote for him? If you won't, will you vote for the Democrat? Third Party? Or just not vote?
This is how it's done . Newt lost. Trump is going to win. Trump is doing it right. Newt should have had the self-knowledge to never run for President in the first place.
maybe they can leave an empty chair ala Clint Eastwood. Yes others have skipped debates too. Are you saying that Reagan skipped it because he was afraid of the questioner ? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
over Evita or Bolshevik Bernie ? Of course I will . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Are you begging the question?
He reacted to the attack upon him immediately instead of refuting the fallacy of logic and THEN counter-attacking. His polling success suggests that he handled it perfectly.
In the first place these so called debates are not debates but question and answer sessions at best. The media is in it for the ratings and don't give a damn about the issues that face this country. Somebody better start getting serious about the countries problems. Take a look at www.dailyjobcuts.com
completely agree .Both Parties are stupid letting the media networks run them . The RNC and DNC should have debates with their own moderators ;and then offer them to the networks for airing . The website does a great job detailing the Obama Recovery. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I can't recall just now so perhaps you can refresh my memory. Was Humpty a follower of the Pied Piper of Gotham?
Don't think so ;but I have not read all Batman issues is years . Humpty Dumpty is a relatively new villian. Maybe he will be a character in the television series 'Gotham'. They use Arkham Asylum as one of their main sets . I borrowed the quote direct from Lewis Carroll . “When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ ’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’ ’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.” Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
We'll see. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Yes we will. And if I am right, I'll jump up and down shouting cock-a-doodle- do! and shoving it in the faces of the Trump detractors. And I'll have a lot of fun doing it. If I'm wrong? I'll just shrug my shoulders and won't care.
Interesting you mention that. The M-I-L has not voted for a presidential candidate for eons. She said she will vote for Trump or not vote at all. Thinking there are a lot like her. She also said there is no reason to watch the debate tomorrow if Trump is not there. So supports your statement. Her main reason for supporting Trump is that he gets things done and the bums in DC can't properly clean a Johnnie (that would be bathroom). Plus she is a NY gal and she likes her NY men. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
Trump appeals to middle class and working class Americans, because middle class and working class Americans are screwed by open borders, free trade, and forever war, and there is not one politician of any stature who has supported the broad back of the people on this in any sense for decades. In fact, the people have been laughed at, put down, more by Republicans than Democrats too. Democrats have been very effective at identity politics, protecting the bailiwicks of various minorities. Republicans have protected a certain minority: the very rich, very well. But all of this has been at the EXPENSE of the middle class and the working class. The middle class and working class are being squeezed out of existence, economically downward, as a result of these policies. And they are not going to take it anymore. This is not a "one issue" voter bunch either. No, there are a LOT of issues, and ALL Of them cut against the interest of the Establishment. Of course, it is in times like this that Establishment philosophers will say that this is why we have a republic and not a democracy. Republics can hold down the interests of the broad back of the people longer. But eventually the jig is up. In 1932, the jig was up for the Republicans, who had run everything since the Civil War. Their old ideas did not work anymore, and the people were done giving them any more chances. 2016 is going to be an election like that. Trump is running as a populist. He is beholden to no one, but he LIKES the working class and middle class, and shares their values about key things. And we know it, so we're going to vote for him, en masse, and swamp the system. Perot tried to do this outside of the party structure, but the logic of doing it INSIDE a party - and then simply sweeping away the existing party leadership and replacing it with new people once you've won - well, that's easier, and more likely to win. Trump is a fighter, and a winner. He's winning. He's going to win. In the aftermath of victory, I predict that he will have a massive mandate. And he will wield that mandate to maintain the ability to smash through all of his policies. And, contrary to the whining philosophes of Establishment Republicanism, I think Trump has been quite clear: The wall goes up and the Border closes, and the illegals are shipped out. Period. Muslim immigration stops until we get our security house in order. Period. We don't send in armed forces unless the war will be profitable for us. Period. We're not going to bleed selflessly to defend anybody else. Including Israel. Period. Hedge fund guys will lose the carried interest deduction. Period. Everybody in America will be covered by health insurance, it will not be Obamacare, and taxes will be raised as far as is necessary to cover them. Period. The tax code will be simplified, flattened, and become more progressive. Period. Entrenched interests are going to hate it, but they will have been expended maximal effort to defeat him in the election, and BEEN defeated, and the massive coalition of people like me and your mother in law who turn out to elect him are going to stick with him as he bludgeons through the things he's said he'll do. It will be fun, winning for a change.
had to refresh my memory about this because it was all over the internet how Reagan skipped the last debate before Iowa and still won the election. This is true . On the advice of his campaign manager John Sears ,Reagan did skip the last debate ,and ended up losing the Iowa caucus to GHW Bush. Reagan fired Sears and replaced him with William Casey ,and the rest if history. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Do you know why?
Fordham men know how to be king makers. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
She also said there is no reason to watch the debate tomorrow if Trump is not there. So supports your statement. Things will be so much better after swarms of elderly crackpots who haven't taken any interest in politics and voting in decades finally come out to swamp the GOP primary for a liberal casino NYC tycoon with a reality show. Sure, that'll make it all better. The idea that Trump is the cure for the problems of the GOP (or the USA) is laughable. He makes things worse, not better.
Once again, you miss the big picture. Electing Trump is a huge FU to the establishment. Why wouldn't that make you happy? And if Trump fails, a replacement can be found. Citizens in this nation need to start acting like they are in charge. Who do you support?
https://news.google.com/newspapers? nid=2209&dat=19800227&id=yJ0rAAAAIBAJ&sjid=KvwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3352,5463393&hl=en Sears had run Reagan's 1976 campaign. Reagan's California inner circle thought that Sears was mismamanging the 1980 campaign. Specifically ,Sears had a 'Reagan is above the common candidate strategy' in Iowa. Reagan did not spend a lot of time in Iowa ,and as noted ,skipped the debate . The media called this “the imperial candidacy.” The people of Iowa reacted predictably to the snub and gave GHW Bush the win. Reagan was doing the retail campaigning in NH ,something he was very comfortable with doing . The day after he made the “I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Green!” line in the NH debate ,Reagan made the decision to make the switch.He pulled the trigger on the day of the NH primary . Reagan won the NH primary by 27 points and was never really slowed down after that, although Bush did win some primaries. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Reagan: Iowa Loss Allowed Him to Campaign His Way Yep. Sears was fired after the New Hampshire vote (and victory), for running a non-confrontational and red ink campaign. Reagan abandoned the consultants' calls for conventional campaigning in favor of an "an intensely personal ground-level campaign." Trump will get more coverage on debate day than any of the other candidates, and the cuckservatives will be left scratching their heads, pissing and moaning in frustration and confusion.
So you saying my Mother-in-Law is some elderly crackpot? How odd for you to respond to my post as such. She is VERY active in local politics and supports local conservatives and libertarians. She gave up on the DC beltway politics for many of the same reasons people of her age here do and did. For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:6-8)
For decades the cuckservatives have consistently betrayed their supporters. The cucks figured that Republican voters had no options in the two-party shell game. Maybe it's payback time.
Once again, you miss the big picture. Electing Trump is a huge FU to the establishment. Why wouldn't that make you happy? And if Trump fails, a replacement can be found. Citizens in this nation need to start acting like they are in charge. Who do you support? ---- Operation 40 Electing Trump is the START of a cure for the problems of the USA, as he could hardly make things worse. And as Op40 says, 'if Trump fails' a replacement WILL be found. --- We are long overdue for a drastic shakeup of the existing system and a return to a republican form of government. --- Electing Trump may not be the answer, but we have to start somewhere..
Yes we will. And if I am right, I'll jump up and down shouting cock-a-doodle- do! and shoving it in the faces of the Trump detractors. And I'll have a lot of fun doing it. If I'm wrong? I'll just shrug my shoulders and won't care. You are a man of monumental conviction and integrity. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
You're right. But my values and rules are not the same as yours. They're better.
You're right. But my values and rules are not the same as yours. They're better. Only if you don't GAS about being honest. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Oh, but I AM honest. All the time, day in, day out. I honestly do not care about the same things you care about. I honestly do not share your values. I honestly think my values are kinder, and better. And I have a great sense of humor about things. I am as honest as the day is long. I'm not particularly pious, and I like to take the mickey out of things that are self-important.
And I have a great sense of humor about things. Yes indeed. You are very funny. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
And he lost Iowa. But he did go on to win the election.
