Trump will not attend Fox News Debate. Thursday evening is the last debate before the primaries begin and Trump will not participate. Trump will not be in attendance because Fox News refused to remove Megyn Kelly as one of the moderators for the debate. Fox News President Roger Ailes said,
“Megyn Kelly is an excellent journalist, and the entire network stands behind her. She will absolutely be on the debate stage on Thursday night.”
The network also issued this satirical statement,
“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.”
Trump was less than amused and responded,
“They’re dealing with someone who’s a little bit different. They can’t toy with me like they toy with everybody else,
More details on this silly story here. Isn’t it amazing how Trump dominates the political news. every. single. day? He’s a master at self promotion, as we have learned all too often. smh

When you are 20 points ahead, why risk an interception? What difference does it make if Trump doesn’t show up? Especially if the game has a guaranteed Hail Mary last play for the other team?
Trump has already won the debate. He’s the only thing people are talking about. http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/267142-why-trump-has-already-won-tomorrows-debate-without
Now Trump can watch debate , contest vigorously on twitter and facecrap and the press will do the rest, brilliant.
I always thought Fox was elitist corporate republicans anyway { minus Bill O’Reilly}.
That’s a talking point, and unless you can back it up, it’s just shooting the breeze. And by the by, Bill O’Reilly makes big bucks working there. He’s one of my favorites, but he’s getting tons of cash.
I agree with Fox. If he can’t take on Kelly he sure can’t take on Clinton, Putin, or the Ayatollah.
“Fairness” as a battle cry to disguise weakness doesn’t work.
Let’s see what happens. A few months agp everyone figured Jeb! would win Virginia… clearly that’s not going to happen, maybe the #ChumpsForTrump will fall short as well.
Pleased to see that Jerry Falwell, Jr. endorsed Donald Trump today.
Huge help in the Virginia primary despite those who seek to close it down for the establishment.
We’ve known for a long time that Trump would be the top vote getter in Virginia. Sad but true.
More like tragic but true.
It was awsome to wear a Trump for President shirt at last nights Hockey Game with VA Tech , LU 3 – VT 2.
Many students liked the Trump shirt , some asked why ?
We discussed the Ted Cruz job killing VAT. We discussed the Republican Party in it’s quest to spend vast amounts { pallets } of money to defend America who is under attack , but the turn their back on Americans who’s bussinesses are under attack cause of the inaction of Republicans on illegal immigration. The young still know today that a Cuban is seeking political asylum and the latino’s comming across the border are seeking economic asylum.
The compassion of Carson and Kasic , very smart students.
Thanks J. JR. for stepping up we know what these selfserving trade deals for the Lynchburg Community !
Anyone who’s worked in academia knows a university president’s primary job is fund raising. That affects everything — kowtowing to student protests, firing faculty who are too openly conservative, placating campus leftists, etc. This is why even institutions originally founded by Christian denominations have shifted ever leftward. The pressures to adopt contemporary secular morals are tremendous.
It is the rare university president who can resist the pressure to buckle under to the pressure and speak truth. One of them is Dr, Everett Piper of Oklahoma Wesleyan, who wrote the following about Donald Trump:
————————
“Anyone who is
pro-abortion is not on my side. Anyone who calls women “pigs,” “ugly,” “fat” and “pieces of a–” is not on my side. Anyone who mocks the handicapped is not on my side. Anyone who has argued the merits of a government takeover of banks, student
loans, the auto industry and healthcare is not on my side. Anyone who has been on the cover of Playboy and proud of it, who brags of his sexual history with multiple women and who owns strip clubs in his casinos is not on my side. Anyone who believes the government can wrest control of the definition of marriage from the church is not on my side. Anyone who ignores the separation of powers and boasts of making the executive branch even more imperial is not on my side.
I’m a conservative. I believe in conserving the dignity of life. I believe in conserving respect for women. I believe in conserving the Constitution. I believe in conserving private property, religious liberty and human freedom. I believe in morality more than I do in money. I hold to principles more than I yearn for power. I trust my Creator more than I do human character. I’d like to think that all this, and more, makes me an informed and thoughtful citizen and voter. I’ve read, I’ve listened and I’ve studied and there is NOTHING, absolutely nothing, in this man’s track record that makes Donald Trump “on my side.”
I refuse to let my desire to win “trump” my moral compass. I will not sell my soul or my university’s to a political process that values victory more than virtue.
No, Donald Trump will not be speaking at Oklahoma Wesleyan University.”
I really think that the Republican nomination and the election will be decided from Florida northward to Ohio and as far west as Arkanas
Appalachia is the factor and where it all has been left behind. Americans are tired of pandering politicians { on Immigration selling out America} on politicans driving Abortion and gay marriage as the main and sometimes the only issues .
Hint ; You can’t out law abortion , so reduce the numbers , how ? Try lifting up the family economically by getting their back on trade { uh, United We Stand } , on immigration just a couple of issues that finacially strain a family. No Americans are tired of seeing the wave of illegal immigrants , it is time for the Tsunami of Trump supporters to help Make America Great Again.
“Try lifting up the family economically…
That would be good, given the traditional family is the basic building block of a healthy Republic. We’re going to those building blocks to be sound when the storm hits.
The storm has been hammering the Virginia family for quite some time.
The Republican party is made up of two very different incomes.
The wealthy Republican uses social isues and fear to get the vote of the pooreer the family like in Southwest Va., they turn out time and time again for republicans in elections and inturn they get hosed by selfserving trade and illegal immigartion.
And yes you do not have to finacilly lift a family up but make the opportunity for them to be level , it is not we all know it. And yes I expect that the driving deciding factor in a young couple facing the horrific thought of abortion is economic uncertainty , yea republicans go trade with the communist , go act like your a do gooder and trade with Central America as they flood America themselves. Yea keep sucking out the equity of the American Family. A little American economic certainty , a little United We Stand for America and Americans ,not to import 3rd world labor and then in turn claim they { americans / virginians} want to be on unemployment.Every SOB politician { R or D } that ever uttered those iresponsible words does not know individual accountability for they were the corrupt one that imported illegal labor to America. An Act of Love , my big A$$. A Republican love of the Benjamins , a loyality to the Benjamins, addicted to the Benjamins , can’t counterfiet the Benjamins so import counterfiet labor to suck out working class equity { Benjamins }. On the “twisted site” there is a Bolling story in it they { Republicans } responsibly admitted ;
” We patronized the kitchen table but preferred the cloth tables at The Commonwealth Club instead “. That is not me , I work , I employ { only Americans } , I seek to make my community better for all , not to come in and suck out the good then leave the wasteland and then cry the Democrats from my golf cart.
