I ma not a Trump supporter but this is particularly brilliant: he gains nothing by risking additional debate exposure and Kelly is an exceedingly convenient excuse to avoid it.

In addition, he'll achieve enhanced publicity -- without saying a word -- by ditching than by showing up. Any opponent who mentions his absence just offers more free airplay.

James Carville (one of my heroes) couldn't have done it any better.

It's a damn good strategy on his campaign's part. Avoids getting skewered in the debate either by Kelley or other participants since the gloves are off. Chances are very good that the viewership will fall and Trump gets to gloat again. If he is really successful in holding a rally to benefit veterans bereft of any details, he will still be considered a hero by his supporters. From now on out, he will be constantly accusing Fox of not playing fair and that will resound well. Every which way I look, trump stands to gain from this boycott.

..... And if he loses the election he can blame it all on Megan Kelly.

It's possible that Ailes will blame Kelly for the bad ratings they could receive for this debate...I sure would.

That is the crux of the problem right there..... This shouldn't be about ratings and yet, it is.

This should be about choosing the best person to be president.

Fox is fucked.

I am in awe of Trump.

This guy destroys anyone who crosses him.

He probably could get Mexico to pay for that wall.

I'm going to change my signature back to:

TRUMP ÜBER ALLES!

Careful Tom. When you say stuff like that, it makes groves in your brain that just let the crazy follower devotion flow more freely.

I know, it's scary isn't it?

I'm beginning to understated how Hitler rose to power in Germany.

It's painful to admit, but if I had been born 30 years earlier and in Germany, I might have been a Nazi.

Tom is in good company. I read this morning that sheriff Joe Arpaio endorses Trump too. 😉
