I have mad props to Fox News for standing up against Trump's desire to have Kelly removed from the moderating panel.

>Trump was scared off by a woman

He's reacting like this because she called him out on his misogynistic shit, and he tried to joke about it saying "Just Rosie O'Donnell", and she remained firm for an answer.

Trump has said a lot of fucked up things and got the support of a lost of racist politicians. It's scary and weird. I wonder if he means the stuff he says about Muslims just to appeal to his base, or if he really means it. He seems like an enigma.

Like, on one hand he says ban all muslims

but on the other he's the only one there who I think is actually an advocate for equal treatment of LGBT in the business world (I would think so considering he's a business mogul and realizes discrimination is bad for bznz), and said the marriage for gays is the law of the land and to move on.

you shouldn't talk shit about someone who isn't present to defend themselves tbh

If they aren't there because of a medical issue, or perhaps a family crisis, sure.

If the person in question chooses not to attend because they just don't want to, that's completely justified in my opinion.

Choosing not to attend because he doesn't want to play games with an eejit moderator is fair enough imo

Yet that isn't what his press release, posted by Cadenza, says - it says that he just doesn't want to debate because he's won the past six times.

Not that a campaign's press release is ever indicative of the whole issue, but this is Trump's official statement. He should be criticized for skipping out because he doesn't want to go.

Not really though

He'd be wasting his time at another debate kerbstomping the other spineless candidates

What he's doing instead is going to be better for his campaign, helping out wounded veterans with a fundraiser rather than wasting oxygen on fox news. Regardless of the ulterior motive, which of those is more likely to strike home with mass appeal?

'Trump quits debates in arrogance/petulance'
or
'Trump snubs debates to help veterans'

How do you think it's going to end up being spun?

How it's going to be spun by his campaign and the rest of the media is not what we're discussing - you said he shouldn't be attacked by the other candidates, I'm saying he should be.

Well if you want to be all nitpicky

Yeah, he shouldn't be attacked if he isn't there to defend himself.

Point scoring on an empty chair is pathetic
