Prediction...

Without the main attraction, Fox ratings for tomorrow's "debate" will plummet.

And we all know that the reality TV stars with the best ratings make the best ever presidents. We won't need those pesky cabinet members anymore or the Congress or even the Generals. A good reality star can conduct the country's business by popularity contests over Twitter. Charlie Sheen should be drafted as VP or maybe Kim Kardashian.

Trump Praised Megyn for Debate Moderating in 2011:

...........
Quote:
He said that there are a lot of debate moderators who don’t know anything about the big issues America faces.


Kelly asked, “Do you really think you’re a better moderator than I am?”


Trump responded, “No, I could never beat you. That wouldn’t even be close. That would be no contest. You have done a great job, by the way, and I mean it.”

It's worked for the last 7 years, why not continue it?

Very interesting that the most popular poll answer is "good riddance."

I wonder how Trump would react if a reporter ever threw a shoe at him while he's on stage talking.

In what alternate universe did this occur in?

That's easy to predict. He'd pull out that gun he keeps strapped to his ankle and shoot the shoe thrower.

I wonder why everyone, especially R voters are making such a big deal about this, they said absolutely nothing when the entire RNC pulled out from the NBC debates due to their moderators, they actually cheered it.

Default Not a Trump supporter but....

I think I get what he's up to. Think about it this way, Trump is NOT running a normal "by the rules" campaign where the candidates bow down to the MSM and the "regular" game of politics.

There are RULES damn it, and you will follow the political rules or face the ire of the political hacks,MSM and others in power. They will decide who gets to talk to the people and who in the end gets the power and if you don't play, why, they'll just bury you.

Trump is used to running his own game, he decides how things are going to work and executes his plans. Apparently he generally wins given how successful he's been in business.

Fox doesn't like the fact that Trump doesn't feel he has to play by their rules or anyone else's for that matter, I mean they ARE FOX NEWS after all right?

It'll be interesting to see who wins the peeing contest, Roger Ailes and his cronies or Trump and his...
