without Trump the ratings would take a nose dive anyway. Nobody wants to watch a Cruz & Kasich snore fest.

If Trump can't even handle the brutal pace and being under the microscope of a campaign, he doesn't have what it takes to be a president where the pace is twice what is expected of candidates and his every move is under a microscope.
Pfft.....debates are so we can learn about candidates positions. We already know them, so what's the point now? Face it...you just want another ambush for your own Trump hating entertainment, and Fox wants the ratings and advertising $$$.

As for not being able to handle the brutal pace of a campaign, where have you been????? The man is a dynamo. I don't know where he gets all his energy. It's impressive.

Trump has other fish to fry and the other two candidates are more than welcome to debate without him. But now Kasich isn't going, so I guess according to your analysis he's a coward and "unable to handle the brutal pace and being under the microscope".

I am sure he could fill 2 hours talking about his vision for OUR country, a Christian theocracy.

Ha! Funny. They guy comes across as very smug/arrogant in my view. No wonder he doesn't get along with the vast majority of people in the senate/congress.

And has anyone woken up yet to the track record of smooth/slick talkers that many people seem to still be so impressed with?

Well, well, well, no surprise here that the anti Trumps would spin this story and not tell the truth.

Fox News cancels GOP debate after Donald Trump pulls out - Mar. 16, 2016

Quote:
... On Fox & Friends on Wednesday morning, Trump said he will instead speak at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on March 21. AIPAC said Trump is confirmed to speak at its annual conference about American policies on Israel.

Trump claimed that he only recently found out about the debate, and he can't cancel his speech.

"I'm making a major speech in front of a very important group of people," Trump told Fox & Friends.

Trump said he would consider doing future debates, though he declined to commit.

"I think we've had enough debates," Trump said. "How many times can you answer the same question?" ...
The last debate WAS the last debate. Fox trying to create another debate is not for anyone but Fox. For the record, Kasich had told them 'no' as well. But don't let that stop you from pretending you know a thing about reality.
