1. Sarah told him

how to be a quitter

[mucifer]

2. He wants people to grovel and grovel and jump thru some hoops

then he will "change his mind".

It's all about his insane ego.

[mainstreetonce]

3. No this s definite

He is scheduling his own event opposite the debate.

10. Smart move

Having his own press conference will take the eyeballs off the debate. I bet trump wins the ratings contest.

12. He figures it's good for what Ailes him. :) nt

[Kingofalldems]

19. He's just great isn't he?

[NightWatcher]

4. The whole debate will look like the kiddie table debate

And they'll all be talking shit about him, cementing his place atop the contest for the nomination.

King Troll, trolls trollishly once more. I won't be surprised when he pulls off his mask and its Andy Kaufman.

5. He's got some shootin' to do on 5th Avenue

6. Fox News mocked Trump polling his Twitter followers to see if he should go to the debate...

"We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president. A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings."

7. I think Trump

is setting the stage for an independent run. He knows how hated he is by most republicans and that they will begin to push him aside. His ego won't allow this.

We are truely witnessing the republican party tearing itself apart.

[randys1]

8. My prediction is coming true. He will be going 3rd party soon

[davidn3600]

14. So you would have Hillary/Bernie vs. the GOP nom vs. Trump vs. Bloomberg

We may very well see the House of Representatives pick the president.

[KamaAina]

9. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[TeamPooka]

11. There go the ratings. haha too bad Faux. nt

[RKP5637]

17. It must be really torquing Fox and the RNC they can't control him! I love it! Good for Trump! n/t

[RKP5637]

13. Yep, it's a definite no! F Fox! Here's the video link.

15. This is interesting. Does he really truly want to be President or does he really truly

think he is so powerful the lamestream media will kowtow to him? He is Teflon and is feeling his oats. If Fox actually tells him to go F himself, will he whine or will he win? He's counting on a win. If Fox gives in and Megan Kelly recuses herself, he becomes even more powerful. Is he wanting them to kowtow or finally rebuff him? Are ratings going to win out? Is the media going to elect this clown?

[davidn3600]

16. He's scared of Megyn Kelly

That's all it is.

[dumbcat]

18. Megyn Kelly is irrelevant

She's a female. This is an alpha dog pissing contest between Trump and Roger Ailes. Trump will win.

[OldHippieChick]

21. I think you have a point and I think he truly

may believe he can treat world leaders this way. What an entitled, spoiled brat! If he doesn't win, it will be interesting. My silver lining is that this may hurt Faux News.

[OldHippieChick]

20. I honestly don't think he's afraid of her, but what he'll say to her.

He despises powerful women and has a bad case of afflluenza. She is not worthy of his fear. He just wants his way.
