This time Donald Trump has gone too far.   He will not be in Thursday night’s Fox News GOP debate because he does not want Megyn Kelly to be a questioner.  He considers her to be unfair.  Mainly coming from her question asking him about his statements against women. For one example referring to Carly Fiorina…”Look at that face? Would you want that face sitting in the White House?”  This being written on Wednesday before the debate.

Poor Donald….so he is going to “take his bat and ball and go home” so to speak. This is a cowardly act.  A man that has bullied virtually all his opponent’s.  And, he thinks he can throw his weight around and bully Fox news into withdrawing Megyn Kelly.  Forgetaboutit.  He thinks Fox would cave because of lost revenue due to lower ratings.  Fox News would never cave to him.  They make more money than MSNBC, CNN and CNBC combined…easily.  They have given him more time than any other candidate.  Interviewed him 132 times during the campaign.

The question is what impact will this have on Monday’s Iowa Caucus?   It is going to hurt him. It may allow unelectable right winger Ted Cruz to win Iowa.  Likely Marco Rubio will move up. Sure Trump’s devotees will stick with him.  As Trump said “I could shoot someone and they would still vote for me.”  Likely true.  But what about the undecided’s…Independent’s….crossover Democrat’s?   His arrogance and bullying have gone too far this time.  This stupid act is an example of the type of President he would be…arbitrary….vindictive…acting upon sheer emotion not relevence.   One thing clear about bullies such as Trump, they need to be confronted.  The head of Fox News will never back down to Trump’s demands. Roger Ailes has gone out of his way to accommodate Trump.

So now with an empty podium in the middle, it gives competing candidates more air time. When he sees reactions to his actions, he may change his mind. He is totally unpredictable. At present, Trump thinks it will help himself.  More over it shows him for what he is….unqualified to be President.   Try to intimidate a star and Fox News?  Fool hardy.

A cowardly foolish act that is self destructive.
