I thought it was very interesting that Donald
Trump pulled out of the Republican debate in Iowa . Was
it because of Megyn Kelley, did he think he was better off not participating,
or did he think the fund raiser for veterans would do him more good?
Was he mad at Megyn Kelly and Fox news? I like Trump, Fox News, and Megyn Kelly, but
I have to say Megyn Kelly was out-of-line as a moderator in a previous
debate. She was obviously looking for
headlines by picking on Trump. I expect
this from the lame-stream media, but not Fox News. I can understand why Trump might not want to
participate in another debate with Kelly in the role of moderator. Would he have participated if there had been
another moderator that he felt would be impartial?
Fox News backed Megyn Kelly, and insinuated
that Trump was thin-skinned and acted in a juvenile manner. Fox News was wrong on this one. Megyn was out of line. Defending her and attacking Trump was wrong. There is no way Fox can say they had
journalistic integrity in this issue.
Their stance is a strike against Fox’s “Fair and Balanced” slogan.
I was embarrassed for members of Fox’s The
Five when they tried to hype the debate after Trump pulled out. They all knew that Trump’s decision would
hurt the debate and it’s ratings, but were trying to hype it anyway. I understand they work for Fox, but it was
pretty pathetic.
Trump had done well in previous debates and
was in first place. Maybe he thought he
was better off not taking a chance on his performance in another debate since
he would be the target for everyone including the so called moderators. Using a sports analogy, A football team does
not throw passes that can be intercepted when they have the lead.
Trump admits now that he probably made a
mistake by not participating in the debate, but I can’t say I blame him. One of the things I like about Trump is that
he is unconventional. His second place finish in Iowa is probably good considering he was supposed
to be a flash-in-the-pan, and if he lasted to Iowa , he was not expected to finish in the top
ten. Trump says he is happy with his
second place finish in Iowa , but I don’t believe him. It is
kind of like having the second best poker hand.
I have to laugh at the media when they say
40% of Iowans make up there minds who they will support in the last couple
days. I have lived in Iowa and have been involved with the caucus, and
that is just plain BS. Most people that
attend the caucus know who they will support weeks in advance. It is a cop-out by the media because they
don’t have a clue what’s happening.
It is true that one strong individual at a
small caucus can and will influence the outcome for that precinct. It is not like voting in a primary. Sometimes the precinct result is determined
by a coin toss. Hillary won six
precincts because of a coin toss. Six
out of six, what are the odds of that without fraud?
I do have to agree with what Cruz said after
coming in first in Iowa . “The media, the establishment,
and big money will not elect the next President.” The media clearly played a major role in
electing President Obama. Iowa caucus turnout set records. Cruz, Trump and Rubio all received more votes
than any other Republican candidate in history.
It’s about time the people of this country
stand up for their rights, and take this country back from the political elite.
