Donald Trump to Boycott Fox News Debate Over Megyn Kelly Feud

And what a great way to get even with Fox News, because a debate without Trump is like Cam Newton without teeth; KFC without the Colonel; Subway without Jared. “The next president has to have a real plan to turn the page on Obama and his disastrous policies, and they have to be willing and able to sell that plan to the American people”.

“The drama capped an increasingly heated war of words involving Mr Trump, Mrs Kelly and Fox News as the debate neared and as Mr Trump found himself facing the prospect of being questioned by her again before a national audience”, The New York Times said.

“I think he is a liberal in Republican clothing”, said Webber. “If it comes down to a two-person race, Donald Trump would be happy to debate him”, Lewandowski told ABC’s “Good Morning America” program. Trump has been feuding with Fox News since the network put on the first debate in August, when Kelly asked Trump about his treatment of women, prompting a stream of insults from the candidate and complaints of not being treated fairly. “I’m not going to let our country be taken advantage of by Iran”. “I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which goes to Wounded Warriors or goes to vets”.

“I don’t like being taken advantage of, in this case I was being taken advantage of by Fox [News]”, he added.

Donald Trump stood firm in his decision to boycott the Fox News Republican debate when he appeared on The O’Reilly Factor on Wednesday.

Trump has raged against Kelly and her coverage of his campaign since that debate.

Since Trump announced he was considering not going, it was unclear how seriously to take the threat.

Gilmore will be joined by Carly Fiorina, who made the main debate stage after the first Fox News debate, but then was demoted earlier this month back to the kids’ table. Candidates look bad when they boycott a journalist because she did her job. What’s different this time around is Trump has started to personally attack the network’s powerful chairman, Roger Ailes, who has professed to be friendly with in the past. “Trump’s debate gambit confirms the worries voters have about him”.

Tapper asked Paul, “I don’t want to ask too much about your prediction for tomorrow night, but do you think it’s better off that he’s not on the stage?”
