FNC forced Bill O'Reilly to literally beg Trump to come to the debate and lied to even get him on

Nurseangela, you need to stop being so grumpy and serious all the time, and take a factitious, tongue-in-cheek comment for what it's worth. I don't take Trump seriously, so why would I waste my time making serious comments about him? Sheesh!

Dude, Aspies are known not to be sarcastic (I'm the queen of sarcasm), so I always try to take them seriously. On this site, if you're telling a joke then you need to say that it's a joke. I'm an NT - I can't tell when an Aspie is joking or not. :mrgreen:

If Bill O'Reilly was doing the debate, then I would say that Trump should do it. Megyn Kelly? Hell to the no.

That's nothing, they went so low as to try and persuade his wife and daughter to convince him to go.

Big, bad Donald is scared of little Megyn Kelly! What a wuss!

He seems to be afraid of something - every bully fears an even bigger bully, and the Fox network is about as big as they come. Ms. Kelly just puts a face on it.

That's true. I think he's being smart, here, though----I'm thinking he feels he can't "win" against her, cuz there's enough of the public that will say he's being a whiner, or whatever, if he complained again, that she wasn't being fair, with him (and she's not, IMO----she should stick to the issues, not personal stuff), and that she's being a good journalist, and going-for the hard questions.

I don't agree with what she's doing----she seems to be "saying" (without actually saying it): "I'm gonna beat these men (or, at least, THIS man) at their own game"; which I've seen ALOT of women do (they feel they have to play dirty, like they feel men do), and I feel the way to be "better", is to be a LADY and "beat" them. It's too obvious she's going for the jugular, and she thinks, IMO, that that shows that she's good.

She's intimidated by him, and it shows. Yeah, yeah, I know----bullies are insecure, TOO, that's why they're bullies----but, I want women to be better than that.

I, for one, am happy with the outcome.

Now, if only all GOP presidential debates would have been on Fox, we might not even know that Mr. Trump was a candidate.

I was up SUPER late last night watching all of this and they started to say that the "real" deal was that Fox was planning to hammer him with infidelity questions. He's had some affairs with married ladies or something? I don't know, it all moves too fast for me sometimes. But supposedly he was going to be asked if he was going to apologize to the kids of the marriages he broke up and to the people who suffered from his indiscretions. I don't know why that would bother him, but that's what they said.

*I* kind thought it was looking as thought the media is getting sick of him, or is afraid he's about to win and is trying to take him down because his opponents aren't getting to the hard negative campaigning quickly enough. I saw some Cruz ad where he was using Trump's "I'm all for abortions all the time no matter what" stance from some years ago and saying that people from Iowa are stupid. Other than that I haven't seen any hard hits.

if that is what they were going to ask him then he's more than justified skipping it, they'd never ask those questions to another candidate its ridiculous

I second that. We are having problems with terrorism, possible war, the economy and what not and that's what they want to ask a presidential candidate at a debate? Fox News has really went down the tubes. I don't even watch them anymore. I would trust Anderson Cooper and CNN to run a more serious debate. For a professional journalist, Megyn Kelly made a farce out of the last Fox debate. Iowa is just too important to let her do it again. Thing is, Trump better carry through with not showing up, otherwise, the media will continue to have the upper hand - the media needs to be put in their place.

For any other candidate I would more then agree questions about a person's sexual life should not be asked. If this is what they were going to ask him it is more then fair. He brought the sex life's not of a candidate but of her spouse, he brought personal lives into this election. You dish it out and you can't take it is rank hypocrisy and typical bully behavior. Charactor is always an issue in campaigns. If America is hellbent on electing a bully as our president they not only got to see the tough talking side but the person who can't take it. If the voters want a president who can't take negotiating with Putin, it's thier choice.

Professional bigots Santorum and Huckabee have also ducked out of the Fox debate to show up at the Trumps show, hoping to ride in on Trump's coat tails.

This ^ For the WIN!

On the other hand, it's okay to be a follower of Mr. Trump, as long as you don't become a fanatic.

Am I the only one who thinks he and Kelly had an affair and perhaps it ended badly? There seems to be something personal about Trump's dislike of her.

No it's definitely Kelly that's doing the hating. She has blood coming out of her eyes like she is paid to do it by Murdoch.

The ratings for the debate were half that of the first fox News Debate and much lower than the CNN one. The whole time Trump was the most talked about candidate in Google. He also still won any polls he was in by a yuge margin!! !
