Trump Dumps Fox News Debate and Here's Why

A past POTUS put it thus:

"If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" -- Harry Truman
(who also noted, "If you want a friend in Washington ---- get a dog")

Clearly Rump can't take the heat, so took Truman's advice. Splitsville.

Dude, that is what Trump has done BY SKIPPING THE DAMNED DEBATES!

Sheesh.

Exactly. That's what I just said.

Might wanna check your controls and see what speed your operators set you on.
So you agree that Trump was right to skip the debates?

Wow thats the first thing you have been right about in this century, isnt it?

Yeah, pretty sure it is.

:D

It'll be voluntary. But don't forget to make that point to Donald Rump and the Wounded Warrior skirts he's hiding behind.
 
Trump says no because he was treated unfairly. Does he expected to be treated fairly as president? Presidents are punching bags for the media. If a president tried to defend himself against only 1% of the vicious unfair attacks by the media, he would do little else.
Trump is doing this not because he got his widdle feewings hoited.

He is doing it because he sees the political advantage to doing it, and he is costing FOX news $18 million in ad revenue and putting the sting to Roger Ailes.
Pissing off the strongest Republican leaning voice in the media is not a good idea for a Republican candidate. Fox is the only major network to counter liberal leaning media and is a primary news source for Trump supporters.
Trump supporters have since long noticed that Fox has its own agenda (propping up the establishment). Pissing off millions of right leaning Americans is not a good idea for a Republican leaning voice in the media. Trump will be fine, its Fox News and the establishment who will suffer the consequences of their bias.

Fair and Balanced? Pffft

Fair and Balanced..............when our candidate is in the lead.
What you neglect is Fox News is the only conservative voice among the major networks. The typical Trump supporter is in the age group of 45-65 and their primary source of new is TV and for conservatives, that means Fox News.

As Trump goes through the primary process and possibility a general election, he is going to need the very people, that is the establishment that he has waged a verbal battle with since his campaign began.

Few people seem to realize just how unpopularity Trump is with Democrats and independents. To overcome this, he's going to need a lot of allies that he just doesn't have. Antics to attract attention such as calling into news shows and asking to be put on the air, streams of outrageous tweets and facebook messages, and personal attacks are not going work in a general election. Exposure in the media is far less important in a general election than in a primary because the voters are already very familiar with the candidates. Voters are more concerned with issues than in primaries and they rely on the media to explain the candidates position.

You might be surprised at how popular Trump is with many Democrats and independents.

He is really turning this anger against the Washington elite into a political windfall.

Not according to a nationwide Gallup Poll conducted between Dec. 1 to Dec. 11, 2016. Trump is very unpopular among both Democrats and Independents. Among both Democrats and Independents, Trump is most unfavorable Republican candidates.

I was just thinking about this today.


I remember when Obama was running he claimed he would unite everyone, it never happened.

Well, it seems, in someways, Trump actually is uniting folks.


That part of society that they poll that disapproves of congress? Well, they can't ALL be Democrats, nor can they all be Republicans.

I'm pretty sure those are the ones that disapprove of the media too.


Looks like he's uniting them. :disbelief:

How the hell did fox news ever survive before Donald Trump? Can we keep it real here please? CNN might need Trump, Fox? No they don't.
 
Do you remember the question? It was a hit, set up to take Trump down. I have no problem with Megan Kelly, I think she's a good reporter tries to pursue the truth aggressively. However, she decided to take sides with Trump's opponents, and because of that lost her journalistic objectivity and therefore her ability to moderate fairly, in the last debate.

So then you must feel that questions about a candidate's character and attitude toward women is 'losing journalistic objectivity'.

bill-clinton-thumbs-up.jpg


In this case she lost objectivity and journalistic principles by deciding to do the establishment's bidding in taking Trump down with that nasty question.

She went after Trump in a very bad way, and Trump isn't the kind of person to forgive and forget. He's going to make an example out of her and FOX news so that nobody fucks with him again.

He has it right.

She did not lose objectivity. She asked a reasonable question. Trump should probably get over it.
Trump was over it the first week, in all honesty the first debate was one attack after another when it came to Trump. They even asked other candidates questions that gave them an opportunity to attack Trump. That's exactly what would happen tomorrow and worse. It wouldn't be a problem if the same kind of questions were asked from the other candidates. But they weren't.
Trump says no because he was treated unfairly. Does he expected to be treated fairly as president? Presidents are punching bags for the media. If a president tried to defend himself against only 1% of the vicious unfair attacks by the media, he would do little else.

Not true! If you're a Democrat president the media treats you like the Pharaoh, fanning you with swan feathers.

What on Earth do you think FOX asserted that Trump has proven right about?

That they suck at being 'Fair and Balanced'?

Trump claims he can stand up to Iran, but he can't even stand up to Megyn Kelly?

LOL.

Mitt Romney should have called Candy Crowley a fucking liar to her face - as she was. But ducking the debate is the wrong thing to do.

It's not and has never been about Megan Kelly. She's actually been very classy and avoided saying anything negative about Trump. Trump realized that it was going to be an ambush and baited FOX with his "Twitter poll on whether he should attend or not" and FOX stupidly fell for it and gave him what he wanted with that idiotic tweet, and excuse to skip the debate. This way, he will have thwarted the ambush while watching Cruz' numbers sink as all the attacks in the debate will now be leveled at Cruz instead of Trump, and as he maintains or increases his lead while running out the clock. The guy is fucking brilliant and very gutsy, a dangerous combination.

I'm a bit suspicious of Gallup's methodology as well.

I remember when Obama ran, folks were embarrassed to say they weren't in support of him, like it wasn't PC or something.

However, when they got to the polls, it was a different story.

The exit polls weren't nearly as weighted as the informal polls. Some real underhanded politicking had to be done to supplant Hillary for the nomination.



I think we might be seeing a little of the reverse phenomenon going on here.


There are a lot of college educated and older folks that, if interviewed on the phone, especially if they have liberal or progressive friends, might be embarrassed to admit that they would feel secure with a Trump administration guarding their Social Security, Medicare and their nation.

Trump brings back dreams and images of the Reagan era, hell, he was the poster boy.


Not a lot of rational blue dog Dems are going to admit that this whole idea appeals to them. Yet, if they are in their 60's, 70's, 80's. . . his confidence, and no non-sense vision for the future has got to seem pretty damn appealing considering the bullshit we have been through for the past eight years. . . .

Do they want to admit it to a pollster or say it out load while their wife, friends, or family is within an ear shot? Probably not.

Does the wife even want to say that to the pollster? Probably not.

I think you should take that poll with a grain of salt.


(Incidentally, it is this line of reasoning that I believe has led the establishment to conclude they need to get Bloomberg in the race.)
 
How the hell did fox news ever survive before Donald Trump? Can we keep it real here please? CNN might need Trump, Fox? No they don't.
This is a new day, friend.

FOX needs to have major personalities on their shows to draw audience.

Trump was such a person, and now that FOX managed to fuck that all up they lose, to the tune of $18 million or so and lots of credibility.

Back during the Persian Gulf war, the American people were seeing smart bombs and missiles so accurate that they could put them through a targeted window on a building.

But then the evening news would harp over the potential losses and reversals to the point that most felt like the evening news was covering a completely different war than what they had seen earlier that day on CNN.

That was when the major media lost most credibility with the American public.

This is that event for FOX. We all see them for being the neocon GOP Establishment shills that they are, having Bret Hume lecture us on how we are being childish to not love the TPP or criticizing the GOP leadership for their impotent ineffectiveness.

Fuck FOX if they cant report a story straight and true.

They survived because Americans devoured the propaganda and bullshit they were being fed. When Trump came around their base rallied around him only to tune in and see the bias BS Fox was pushing out. They were all left scratching their heads saying "WTF is going on here? No! We don't like Rubio! We don't want Bush!!" Fox is fucking tone deaf and millions see it. Yes, Fox needs Trump. Trump is viewers, and viewers are ratings, and ratings are money.....

Trump's Image Among Democrats, Independents Most Negative of Any GOP Candidate

Meh there are plenty of plausible reasons for this, chief among them being the embaressment of saying out loud that you support someone a great number of your friends dismiss or think is a Nazi.

Some of the polls that show heavy support for Trump have also shown him doing better among self-identified independents who lean Republican than among regular GOP voters.

I think that the media will at first, but then over time they will realize what little effect their slander is having and they will shift gears to attack the policies Trump promotes instead. It kind of went that way with Reagan. After 6 years almost everyone wanted to enshrine the guy, but all he got was a run down airport named after him, lol.
