    What a fucking pussy. Mr Talks-so-tough says he’s going to boss other world leaders around and Make America 80's Again, and yet he can’t handle somebody he doesn’t like asking him the tamest, shittiest, most irrelevant questions for a few minutes.

    Put aside politics for a second. Good for FOX for standing behind its talent.

    Good. Let this smirking douche nozzle stay home. Without him stinking up the place, the GOP can finally have substantive discussions about their platforms and ideas.

    HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Who the fuck am I kidding; the GOP HAS NO SUBSTANTIVE IDEAS!!!!

    You know, if he wanted to prove several points at one time, he would show up for the debate and shoot one of the moderators, just to see if it costs him any votes. If it does, oh well, lesson learned.

    Then again, it could also gain him new supporters to offset any who abandon him. Seems like it’s worth a shot.

    Fox News’ statement on this was excellent

    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.

    Do the people who support him not realize how ridiculous it is that he’s avoiding someone he knows will push back on him, as though that’s a viable strategy in international politics? “I don’t want to meet with your president. Who else can you send me?”

      But it will work with voters. He’s playing the victim, which I’m sure a bunch of uneducated white people can relate to. Bonus points with men who feel like women need to know their place. At this point he probably has more to lose by attending the debate than not.

      Everything he has done is a perfectly calculated move to prey on the paranoia and blind patriotism of the worst of the Republican voters. It’s remarkable. This latest stunt will absolutely play as a man taking a stand against a banshee with a vendetta against powerful men and, if anything, it will win him hearts, not lose them.

      In other news, everyone voting for Trump is a fucking idiot.

    If this actually happens (I highly doubt it will), the number one best thing any of the Republicans can do is outright call him a coward. They need to eviscerate him to stay even remotely relevant, and then move on.

    Any mincing of words will not play. Stick the damn knife in.

      For years FN was the official channel of GOP and the religious right. Don’t you see the beauty in the fact that the GOP front runner wants to boycott the Right Wing Orgy channel dividing already divided republicans? What a (great) mess!

      I can’t wait to see what he does instead of the debate - something that has to top the Palin endorsement. There’s no way he will not try to distract the national media during the debate time frame.

    Quick History Lesson: This whole beef started during the first debate when the topic was electability. Several candidates were asked about their perceived weaknesses. Bush was asked about his last name. Carson was asked about his lack of experience and Trump was asked about his issue with women; specifically some of his comments about women.

    Trump is being a baby about this whole thing. The other candidates didn’t throw a tantrum when they were asked question about their weaknesses. His ego will simply not him allow to be questioned on anything.

      In hindsight, Trump’s issues with women don’t seem to have hurt his electability. So +1 for Donald and -1 for Kelly in that exchange.

      Hey, no argument there. Trump is oblivious to normal political gravity. He’s made derogatory comments about women, Mexicans, Muslims, veterans, gays, his own party, etc that would have sunk anyone else.

      All I’m saying is that beef started because he felt like he was singled out. He wasn’t. Listen to the way the Carson question was framed. Brutal.

      His debate performance doesn’t help him. In all honesty, it’s generally pretty lackluster; he never stands out for anything he actually says in the debate. He never seems prepared for any of the questions and he honestly seems overwhelmed and dazed on the debate stage. It’s a far cry from his presence outside of the debates, at his speeches and rallies where everyone present is there to support and cheer for everything that flies out of his mouth.

      (In fact, even this whole flap with Megyn Kelly is something that he ginned up after the debate was over; during the actual debate, he first tried to parry her remarks with a lame joke about Rosie O’Donnell before retreating into the, “P.C. is bad so every stupid thing I say is good”. Trump didn’t even have the guts to call Kelly out to her face; he waited until later when she wasn’t around to begin creating the, “she was bullying me,” narrative).

      I agree he is a lame debater. It’s clear he doesn’t bother to prepare—his ego tells him there is no need, since he’s too wonderful to lose at anything. On the other hand, Cruz was the national debate champion in college. Trump got lucky in the last debate with the “NY values” issue, when he actually seemed like a real person for 30 seconds. Odds are he can’t repeat that, so what does he have to gain? And Kelly is one of the few people who actually hurt him so far, so he has something to lose if she can do it again...

      On the other hand, he has a lot to gain by defying FOX News. If he can force them into throwing Kelly under the bus he wins. Even if he doesn’t, his feud with FN forces his followers to choose between the two, and he’s betting they will follow him. He’d like to drive a wedge between them and FN anyway, since he doesn’t want interference from factors he cannot control. He’d prefer that FN caves to him right now, but the message is being sent that he doesn’t need FN—and that places FN in the realm of the irrelevant for this election if he becomes the nominee...
