Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump wouldn’t commit to attending the next Fox News debate, CNNMoney reported Thursday.

“It’s a long ways away. We’ll see,” Trump was quoted as saying at a press conference in New Hampshire.

Trump skipped the Fox News debate last month and hold his own campaign event instead. The move was Trump’s reaction to a scathing statement from the network in response to comments Trump had made about host Megyn Kelly’s ability to moderate the debate fairly.

Trump has said that he thought refusing to participate in the last Fox debate could’ve hurt his results at the Iowa caucus, where he finished in second place.

The network announced Thursday that it would hold a debate on March 3 in Detroit, with Kelly expected to moderate again.

    He’s tired. And bored …This is work he’s not used to. Go home Donnie. Go the fuck home.

  2. This is working out well for tRump. He’s marketed his brand to the rubes with a zillion dollars worth of free air time. Now the classless world-class asshole can exit stage right and continue his grifting elsewhere.

  3. I did think Trump was heading towards nomination as he persisted for a while but it now looks he is getting weaker as his schtick is not as appealing to his base. Amazingly enough, the beneficiary will be Rubio.

  5. He’s going to shoot the puppy because it nipped at him. I’m really interested in how far he can really take his petulance.

    Gotta resort to one of the ole personal favorites here:
