The feud between Donald Trump and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has become one of the biggest political stories of 2015, and political junkies across the country have been eagerly awaiting the January 28th rematch to see which — if any — of the media moguls would land the final, devastating blow.
The GOP frontrunner’s animosity toward Megyn Kelly dates back to the first debate of the primary season. In the opening rounds of questioning, Megyn Kelly asked how Donald Trump would respond to Hillary Clinton’s inevitable accusation that he is part of the Republican “war on women.”
She elaborated with comments Trump had made previously, saying, “You’ve called women you don’t like ‘fat pigs,’ ‘dogs,’ ‘slobs’ and ‘disgusting animals'” and suggested that he had made lewd comments to a woman, claiming he’d said to a woman on The Apprentice she would be a “pretty picture on her knees.” The question brought the crowd into an uproar, as the question came off particularly tough, even for Megyn Kelly. Some were delighted by the question, but others were outraged.
As for Trump, he laughed it off initially, but hours later launched a late-night twitter rampage against Kelly that has been ongoing ever since. He called her over-rated, retweeted a user who called her a “bimbo,” then allegedly suggested that Kelly was on her period during the debate, telling CNN that she had “blood coming out of her… whatever.”
In short, they didn’t exactly hit it off.
Now, after a week of intense back and forth between Fox News and Donald Trump regarding Megyn Kelly’s involvement as a moderator, Donald has put a kibosh on the upcoming altercation altogether.
Donald Trump will not participate, but it’s not only about Kelly. Trump is accusing Fox news of ‘playing games’ with a set of press releases.

Trump to smart to walk into an ambush .. Will not watch fox news they are turning into a Hillary /obama station
stop fighting among ourselves and fight hillary
I thought Mr. Trump should do the debate at first too — BUT watching Kelly with Michael Moore last night sealed the deal that Mr. Trump was totally correct and should NOT do this debate! Fox Commentators ARE gunning for Mr. Trump!
Now the NEWS about “Open Borders” by Owner Rupert Murdoch, co-chair of PNAE?!! Fox has some “explain’ to do”!
Not watching the debate if Mr. Trump is not attending.
I’ll be watching Mr. Trump at his Town Hall for the VETERANS! Mr. Trump donating all the money to our brave and honorable Veterans and those wounded for our Freedoms. How can anyone disagree with that! Go Trump!
We The People Also Know Mr. Trump is NOT afraid of Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace, or Brett Brier. They fall way behind the class of Neil Cavuto and his team, who had the best debate of them all.
Megyn Kelly WAS biased against Mr. Trump from the beginning and she has showed her dislike of Mr. Trump since after that first debate when Mr. Trump almost tanked her career.
The final straw was last night when Kelly brought Michael Moore unto her show – the FAR left wing NUT job for the sole purpose of slamming Mr. Trump, I decided Kelly has lost all credibility — she dislikes Trump so much she has that slug Moore on – the one that just said we are all muslims. Disgusting.
I will stand with Mr. Trump in whatever he decides to do.
Mr. Trump stood up — He did not bend to Fox or Kelly! Mr. Trump did not need this last debate — Fox News and the other candidates did!
Ronald Reagan skipped his last debate too and was told how wrong that was! Guess what — oh you know, Reagan became President.
Mr. Trump is NOT a politician; but knows how the system works, can’t be bribed, and doesn’t give a damn about PC!
Fox is paying games.
Can’t believe they befriended the pos Moore.talked to him like they were best of friends.you are who your friends are.trash.
Get um Donald!
The DON will win tonight
It would not matter hen or where the debate was going to take place Trump would not want to be questioned.
It all seems pretty dog gone silly to me.
That bs pic he took in front of Trump towers we are all muslim! Made me want to vomit! Im not muslim!
What does Megyn Kelly have on Roger Ailes(?) that she can do anything she wants and get away with it ???
