 Trump's showdown with Fox News escalates "The real estate mogul refuses to budge on his debate boycott while his campaign accuses Megyn Kelly of being 'totally obsessed' with Trump." "Trump slept on it. And he’s not budging." . . . Another president who hates Fox News more than he hates America's enemies? TD With Fox News Debate Boycott, Has Trump Finally Jumped the Shark? . . . "Trump has emerged as the leader of a personality cult. Like any cult leader, his first and highest priority is denouncing anyone who questions his primacy. He filters a qualitative analysis of any person or institution through one overriding concern: what do they think of me? If they're for him, he's for them. If they're against him, he's against them. It's that simple, and there's no nuance to it. There's no parsing through actions, words, or character. It's a package deal. You're for all of Trump, or you're his enemy. Such unbridled narcissism has no business anywhere near the lowest of public office. The notion that it could occupy the White House should instill terror in all of us." Can't these words apply to Barack Hussein Obama? TD  |
http://hopenchangecartoons.blogspot.com/"Republican front-runner Donald Trump has announced that he's pulling out of tomorrow's GOP debate owing to his feud with moderator Megyn Kelly and a general dissatisfaction with Fox News.
"As is the case with all things Trumpish, opinion is divided on whether he's taking a principled stand against what he sees as unfair journalistic practices, is frightened of another tango with the razor-sharp Ms. Kelly, or is so filled with hubris that he's simply lost interest in winning over any remaining voters who remain undecided.
"Hope n' Change can't say which explanation (or combination of explanations) is closest to the truth, but we will say that Trump has again confirmed the fact that no one can predict what he will do.
"Whether or not that's a quality voters actually want in the Oval Office remains to be seen."

If so, the reactions I’ve seen so far from fellow Republicans are entirely negative, with the pundits all calling it a huge mistake by Trump with the terms silly, petulant, immature, etc. being bounced about the soundstages." |
Trump went beyond just bashing Bachmann, calling out other presidential candidates for skipping the debate and telling the GOP establishment that “more debate is always better.”How Trump could win his war with Fox News . . . "Roger Ailes cannot back down from the moderators for a couple of reasons. Surrender of control of choice of staff would discredit any media outlet, and FNC, although dominant in cable news, is still regarded as illegitimate in parts of the leftist media bubble. Buckling in to Trump would feed ammunition to its enemies. As an FNC spokesman put it last night:" . . . Read More.

The long, strange history of the Donald Trump-Megyn Kelly feud
| "Here´s the conundrum of Donald Trump: Nothing he does should surprise us, but nothing he doesn´t do should surprise us, either. By that, I mean that for all the wacky things he´s actually done in this presidential campaign, there are just as many wacky things that he has said he might do but ultimately didn´t. He´s so darn unpredictable that you can´t even count on him to do the unpredictable. Until Tuesday evening, boycotting a debate fell into the category of wacky things Trump has said he might do — at least three times, actually — but ultimately didn´t. And who knows?" From Lucianne Donald Trump’s Fox Debate Boycott and The Ridiculous Fox News Response… . . . "Megyn Kelly, and her sidekick Chris Stirewalt are the visible symptom, not the actual underlying issue. Their partnered ‘too-cute-by-half schtick‘ has been ongoing for several months, including the coordinated antics at the last debate, and in the weeks leading up to the last debate; but again, they are the symptom – not the real issue.
"However, it’s also more than a little hypocritical for the same republican voices who were shouting at republican nominees in 2011/2012, for walking into traps with CNN’s Candy Crowley and ABC’s George Stephanopolous, to now be clutching their pearls when 2016 republican frontrunner Donald Trump recognizes the construct in Fox News and avoids it." . . .
