Here's an article.

More are jumping on the boycott bandwagon: www.angrypatriotmovement.com/trump-starts-revolt/

Like I said, don't underestimate the impact on FOX this will have...

oh my now that is hilarious!

Those two are still going to the debate! They're on the early card. They're just going to do both. The debate AND go to the other event. Of course that makes perfect sense for them. It's a win/win for them. They get to debate and then go rub elbows with the vets and try to get their votes. And it doesn't really matter anyway. Neither of those two have a chance in hell of winning anything.

Interesting what goes on behind the scenes: redstatewatcher.com/article.asp

And? Are you saying that family of FOX news can't pick a candidate to back? I don't see why if I work a job my DH has to follow my work rules. That's getting ridiculous.

If Huckabee and Santorium were actually supporting Trump they'd boycott the debates. But they're not. They're actually really smart. They're going to use their debate time and then hop on over to Trump's free event and use him to get votes with the vets. Brilliant strategy on their part. They're not going to get votes but it's a really smart move.

The truth of the matter is that if FOX really cared or really wanted Trump there they would just pull Kelly. And they're refusing to do that. So that says a lot. You can talk about them making deals and calling people and begging and all that other stuff but what it comes down to is that they could easily get Trump to come in a heartbeat. Just pull Kelly. But they won't.

Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The media is supposed to be unbiased.

I don't think the media has ever been unbiased.

Remember "yellow journalism" during the Spanish-American War?

Exactly. Everyone WANTS the media to be unbiased when it's not their candidate being touted. But as soon as their candidate is touted they scream it's fair and balanced. NO media is fair and balanced.

It's good to know their motivation, IMO. And why they are trying so hard to destroy Trump.

So Trump is a VICTIM?

I don't believe for one second that they are trying to destroy Trump. Eric Bolling highly supports him as they have been friends for years. Sean Hannity has openly supported Trump. He talks about all the times they have been to each others houses. MOST of the FOX news people support Trump. So to say that they are trying to destroy him is just false.

I simply do not think that if you work for a political news channel your whole family has to group think. I don't think you can force your whole family to have the same opinion as you. That's ridiculous and stupid. Are they going to start interviewing the families of every employee?

Juan Williams, a Democratic supporter on FOX news, has two grown children that are die hard Republicans. Who should be fired? Juan? His sons both do guest appearances. Should all three of them go since they are in one family and don't agree? This is ignorant. There's also a lady on FOX news who is a Republican. I don't remember her name but she was married to a staunch Democrat. He was a biker (not motorcycle) and was in a race to raise money for charity. She was seven months pregnant with their second little girl when he was killed in the race. Should they have not hired her because her husband was a Democrat? This whole line of thinking is stupid. You cannot force people around you to think like you do. And I highly doubt that anyone employed by a political news channel is going to just "give in" to blackmail and other stuff just because their kid disagrees with them.

Of course he's a victim.

It was pathetic that Cruz started off with a joke poking fun at Trump. He brought the topic of Trump to the forefront of the debate stage. He should have left it alone. Bad form IMO.

And mean while, Trump raised $5M for Wounded Warriors. I think Wounded Warriors won that debate!

And Kelly set the stage for Cruz with her Elephant comment. They all should have left it alone.

You can't blame Cruz for that. That was the first question from Kelly about the Elephant in the room. Actually, i think that his response was hilarious and spot on. That was well done and one of the best lines of the night in my opinion.

Oh, and btw, Trump is down 6 points nationally today. Which doesn't mean much because he is light years ahead of everyone else.

Why is it OK to dish it out but he can't take it? He can name call and tweet and be bombastic but nobody else can? As i said, I like Trump. I will vote for him if he is the nominee. But, he can't bluster and bloviate then call foul when others give it back to him.

He played another Trump card and won a debate he didn't even attend! Cruz lost, he lost numbers in the polls today as did Rubio, Hmm, but not Trump. This is such a phenomenon that there will be numerous books written!

Well Fox beat up on all the other candidates so Donald didn't have too. Maybe that was a masterful move.
