Trump Bows Out Of The Debate Because Megyn Kelly Is Moderator If you havent heard by now, you should know that presidential front-runner Donald Trump has just announced that he will not be participating in todays debate. The announcement fuels an escalating feud between the legendary businessman and the Fox News Channel. As a result of Trumps decision, the entire GOP campaign has been forced to react in the short time before the Iowa caucuses. This is just further proof that Trump is not concerned with the rules of politics. He is once again using his prominence to shape the campaign trail and to spark conversation among conservatives. So far, these antics have expanded the support of the American public, but this boycott leaves him open to criticism among Fox moderators and his fellow candidates. Still, many question whether Trump will follow through with his controversial decision. Some believe that we will still see him on stage among the other candidates. Trump argues that Fox and other television networks have been taking advantage of him by selling advertisements for their debates at a high premium. Why should the networks continue to get rich on the debates? Trump told reporters in Marshalltown. Why do I have to make Fox rich? If Trump moves forward with his withdrawal, it will be unprecedented.
