Good lord people he isn't afraid of Megan Kelly. He is tired of making the dishonest media lots of money. He said he will do it only if they donate money to WWP.

Not sure who I will vote for but please do not talk about dishonesty like Trump is the flag bearer for honest political candidates. He has a share of the blame in the Fox vs Trump mess.

There it is! When in doubt and you can't make a real, cogent argument, go to the ole Republican standby that it's all the result of the "evil liberal media". This is the most overblown and overused right-wing argument out there.

Just an FYI. Trust in the mass media is at an all time low. The vast majority of people will agree that the media isn't honest.

I'm just regurgitating what he said. Your beef is with Donald

Of course you didn't read it. It was too thoughtful and had too many three syllable words for you to comprehend.

I'm not even sure why I'm discussing something as complicated as this with someone who thinks we should have bombed Iran because they made one of our sailors wear an abaya.

It was 3 paragraphs of garbage. Sorry

And I never said we should bomb Iran. So I guess you are dishonest too?

Kind of like with Obamacare. A majority of the constituents in most states did not want it but there elected officials voted for it anyway.

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.

This is Fox News response? Laughable. They crossed the line as far as them being journalists and proves Trumps point. The 1st debate wasn't about policy, it was about pitting the candidates against each other

Neither the US(37), Canada (30), or the UK (18) are ranked near the best healthcare systems in the world according to the WHO.

I'd like to know what the WHO considers standards as to "what is the best healthcare system". Not saying their ranking is wrong, that's just a really open ended statement.

Coming from a party whose Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, said his sole goal a few years ago was to make Obama a 1-term president (see below). Not pass meaningful legislation by trying to reach across party lines, just defeat the President. I thought elected officials were there to support their constituents by passing legislation that benifitted their districts or states, but guess I was wrong. Now that's laughable.

Most conservatives don't even like McConnell so....

Without Fox shaping the narrative of a necessity of change in Washington, Trump wouldn't be where he is. I think it's hilarious that the monster they've helped create can't be controlled.

He's like the Terminator computer that's became self aware, Trump no longer requires the GOP or Fox's services - now he can crush them too.

Still, it's still a bitc*h move to duck the debates before the first caucus. At this point, he's probably realized that he's plateaued and that by continuing to open his mouth it'd only hurt him. It also prevents any of his competition from actually making him respond to the fact that he hasn't presented a platform on which he'll run on in the general. I'm not sure that calling HRC a liar for 9 months is going to cut it, he's going to have to produce plans.

Yeah no kidding. If I were dictator I would have sent his ass packing on the same bus as pelosireid. Just shows that Kentuckians ain't too bright. I got to where I am in spite of my Kentucky public school edumication, not because of it.

Sorry, his whining about how mean she is to him could have fooled me. Maybe he needs a warm glass of milk and a blankey to make him feel better.

He hasn't been campaigning in Iowa enough and has no ground game at all.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about, stick with Clinton, Sanders, and Trump.

He may not finish higher than 4th, but has the largest and strongest ground game in Iowa.

I don't think Fox is solely responsible for creating that monster. All the major media outlets gave him enough face time to have a piece of that pie.

You mean it's ironic that the guy going on and on about political correctness got so offended by Megyn Kelly? Nah, he's just strong and brave.

If this is any indication of what happens when Trump doesn't get his way, then he is even more thin skinned than our current President, just what we need.

Ohhh, so scared of Megyn Kelly, what a wuss. . .

Fox News didn't create Trump. Trump dominates the room with his personality and Fox has zero to do with that.

Fox has tirelessly shaped the beliefs of the right - bullet point by bullet point over the last eight years.That effort succeeded in lubricating the sphincter that Trump's vitriol was able to fill. Now, no amount of fancy red, white and blue graphics can control what they are responsible for.

I can't understand this for you.

You might as well have. So to coin an LGism.

Screech! How dare Iran take our sailors prisoner when they wandered into THEIR territorial waters!

Screech! How dare Iran confiscate the GPS equipment!

Screech! How dare Iran make that sailor wear a scarf!

SCREECH! Bad Iran! That's a hostile act!

You are exactly the kind of low information voter Trump loves. Can't put any thought into any of the issues if it's not broken down into Sesame Street terms for you.

Not solely, but the people who are watching MSNBC aren't the ones giving him the lead over actual conservatives.
