If Trump is good enough, he doesn't have to join the debates to win.

We'll see.

Donald Trump sidelined as rivals debate without Republican frontrunner

Donald Trump found himself sidelined for the first time from a televised presidential debate on Thursday, ceding the stage to his Republican opponents in a high-stakes gamble less than three days before the Iowa caucuses.

As seven candidates lined up on the Fox News debate stage in Des Moines, Trump hosted a rival event, ostensibly to raise money for veterans, on the other side of town, broadcast simultaneously on competing networks.

The absence of the Republican frontrunner from the main stage in Iowa led to a debate unusually focused on policy, free of the usual personal swipes and, by the end of the two hours, the Trump-less debate appeared to have emboldened his rivals.

Texas senator Ted Cruz claimed the mantle of the frontrunner on stage, complaining that other candidates – and moderators – were targeting him. Florida senator Marco Rubio put in a spirited and enthusiastic showing, while his one-time ally Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, had one of his strongest performances to date.

Meanwhile, less than three miles away, Trump appeared on stage for his veterans event with a devil-may-care attitude. “Will I get more votes? Will I get less votes?” Trump said of his decision to withdraw from the main debate. “Nobody knows. Who the hell knows?”

Donald Trump Once Told Megyn Kelly How Those Who Skip Debates Lack ‘Courage’

Introducing the Upshot’s Encyclopedia of Donald Trump’s Twitter Insults

The mixed martial arts fighter Ronda Rousey is “not a nice person.” The golf swing of the actor Samuel L. Jackson is “not athletic.” A lectern in the Oval Office “looks odd,” and the mobile carrier T-Mobile’s service “is terrible.”

These comments are not private thoughts, nor are they the result of an embarrassing hidden camera, an off-the-record comment or a document release. They are public statements made by Donald Trump to his 5.9 million Twitter followers.

We know this because we’ve read, tagged and quoted them all.

The end result is “Donald Trump’s Twitter Insults: The Complete List (So Far).” It’s not a sample of some insults, or just those about his political rivals — though plenty of those exist. It’s the full count — a 100 percent sample, in polling terms — representing our best effort to categorize more than 4,000 tweets Mr. Trump has made since he declared his candidacy in June 2015.

Of those, we found that one in every eight was a personal insult of some kind.

Perhaps most predictable is Mr. Trump’s propensity to insult other presidential candidates, both Republicans and Democrats. (In Mr. Trump’s words, John Kasich is a “dummy” and Rick Perry “should be forced to take an IQ test.”)

But what is particularly fascinating is just how personal these jabs are. Yes, Bernie Sanders attacks bankers and George H.W. Bush accused Michael Dukakis of being unpatriotic. But there’s something different about Mr. Trump’s style and sheer volume of insult-throwing.

As the leader in the polls by a wide margin, Trump is going to get singled out in debates and his abrasive spoiled rich kid personality is fair game for discussion.

That's a good thing for him, because he gets more time to talk.

Unless he's afraid of being held accountable, I cannot fathom any reason for missing an opportunity to spend the evening chatting with Megyn Kelly.

Do you think Fox should have changed the debate moderator instead of just exclude Trump ?
In a way that would show weakness and favoritism to Trump (since in a way they did what he wanted), but they would have a lot more audience and the debate would be more interesting.

Kelly should not be allowed to moderate the next GOP debate, Clearly she has a chip on her shoulder when it comes to Trump. It was evident when she singled him out and aggressively attacked him during the last debate. Truthfully, it turned me off. I no longer watch her show, nor will I in the future. There were far more important questions to ask.

Daaamn, did ya'll see Miss Megyn smoldering through the debate last night?

Rand Paul was on fire, but MK nearly burned a hole in my screen!   

can someone please make Trump-Altcoin,

just so I can dump the trump.

Donald for one obviously takes Megyn Kelly seriously.  He ran away like a coward when faced with the prospect of being confronted by her in public, where she was certain to cut him a new Trumphole.

What presidential material!  (And by that I of course mean MK.)

Fox and Google Let You Vote For Trump as Winner of Tonight's GOP Debate

Well, that just goes without saying..........

This moron evidently thinks that everyone that posts a picture on the internet just made that picture themselves, hahahahahaha

Who the hell takes this bimbo that acts like whore, seriously anyway?

Megyn Kelly didn't complain about Donald "objectifying women."

Do you even understand what "objectifying" means in that context?

You are confusing misogyny ("bleeding out of her...whatever") with objectification.  Totally different things.

Good luck with your 'dipshits for Trump' campaign.

You can't even get the story straight.  Better take some journalism lessons from Miss Megyn.

This is what she said (note the absence of complaints about "objectifying women").

Let's help fight that setback a bit 

LIVE Stream: Donald Trump Special Event for Veterans in Des Moines, IA (1-28-15)

This is going to negatively affect both the sides. Fox News will lose more than 50% of the expected viewership for the debate, and in the mean time, Trump will lose his airtime with Fox News. Considering that tens of millions of US citizens are addicted to the Fox News, this can be quite a bit of a setback for Donald Trump.

“You know the thing about chaos–it’s fair.”






DES MOINES, Iowa—Chaos has descended upon Iowa’s capital city hours before the final 2016 GOP presidential primary debate before Iowans head to the caucuses on Monday–which will be moderated by the Fox News Channel.

Because of the network’s antics aimed at GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, Trump has decided to abandon the network’s debate. Every pre-set narrative from the mainstream media has been destructed as Trump dukes it out with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), another anti-establishment force who is set to appear in the debate. And every single one of the establishment-backed GOP presidential candidates, from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) to his former mentor Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to Ohio Gov. John Kasich, can’t get anywhere close to first-place Trump’s or second-place Cruz’s level of support.

Meanwhile, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum—the winners, respectively, of the 2008 and 2012 Iowa caucuses and both thorns in the side of the political establishment—plan to support Trump at his event across town at Drake University. Huckabee’s and Santorum’s move is surely going to infuriate their former employer, the Fox News Channel, as Roger Ailes—the network’s chief executive—scrambles to clot the bleeding Trump has inflicted upon his previously invincible network.

Less than an hour before the undercard debate featuring several of the lower-polling candidates, and less than three hours before Fox’s main stage debate will feature Cruz, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), and the establishment candidates, chaos rules the night as reporters, GOP operatives, and more buzz about only one candidate: Donald Trump.

Trump, who isn’t even going to the debate, is dominating all discussions of it—meaning basically he’s winning with none of the risk brought on by opening himself up to attack.

All this chaos reminds one of a particular monologue from The Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, in The Dark Knight:



So as the establishment, which has tried over and over again to tip the scales in favor of their candidates—and has especially failed to disclose conflicts of interest and put forward political tricks to trip up conservatives—loses control, the race descends into chaos. And in the chaos, voters find fairness. May the best man win.
