By George I think you got it. The mystery to me is why Fox is so pro-illegal immigration. That's what is going on here and I think Trump is right to stay away. It takes two to fight and he is not playing their game.

Yes, the question wasn't who NOT from, it was from who?

As of now there's no answer, eh?

Not sure the Trump-Fox dustup is going to end well for Fox. They pride themselves on being the news media's conservative voice - yet they purposely alienate Trump - the presumptive Republican nominee. The need to respect their responsibility as journalists and mend their Trump relationship or they risk losing what little respectability they have left.
No, they don't. They just need to report what he does, that they can do that whether he cooperates or not.

I think sooner or later Donny's gonna bail and at his press conference he's gonna pout and say "You people don't deserve me!".

Enough with the Theatre. He hasn't got the job, and owes nobody anything. Least of all Fox and their Bimbos. Doesn't matter what Fox wants, likes, or dislikes. He doesn't owe anyone anything. No one has voted for anyone. If you want to spin that in some other direction, get a can of oil, because its not spinning for you.

Trump is right. He's calling their bluff. Their "debate" will be nothing more than a hollow gathering of also-rans, who are left to do only two things:

1. snipe at one another
2. slag on Trump in his absence

I doubt that either will bring any of the soon-to-be-former "hopefuls" any support.

He's exposing the weak underbelly of Fox News, who have continuously acted as the mouthpiece for the GOP establishment. Now that their precious establishment is buckling in the face of Trump's campaign, they're desperate to try to make repairs. Fox wants to be the king maker as they have been in recent GOP primaries. Let's see how this plays out.

I have yet to see a debate. It is mostly Fox in their zeal to discredit Trump. A fair debate does not have attack questions. The only attacks should come from the other candidates.

How is questioning someone about something they've said in the past an attack question? If Trump can't defend his past statements I guess he's doing the right thing by running away and hiding, eh?

Easy to Pay for by what the savings will be from not having all these Illegal Aliens sucking money out of our economy. An not having to give Millions of Dollars to imported potential Terrorists, so they can live better than a lot of Americans do. Labor could be free. Just round up all the illegals coming across the Border, and give them a 5 year Prison sentence building the Wall. If any Illegals are left after the "Purge" put a Bounty out on them if arrested and convicted. Repeal the Citizenship of all the Anchor Babies, and save even more Money. You may be surprised how much we can save and put to better use.


We can also stop giving Money to Countries that harbor, and support Terrorists. Save Billions more.
