    This couldn't possibly be because he knows Megyn Kelly & Chris Wallace won't take his nonsense. If he thinks Kelly is too tough on him then I wonder what he'd make of Jeremy "Did you threaten to overrule him?" Paxman.

    He can't handle tough questions. It's okay though, he makes up for it with Twitter fights.

    If that is an indication of what is going to happen if he becomes President then he will be the worst President America has ever seen.

    I don't get what his problem is with Megyn Kelly. I won't be able to watch the debate anyway because I'll be at my gay group but I don't really care either way.

    What a cry-baby.

    If he can't face a few journalists, how's he going to face the world?

    The man in a psychologically unbalanced mess, a spoiled little brat who needs to constantly have his ego stroked, or else, he runs away and pouts. I'd sooner have a rabid baboon on crystal meth as president, than him.

    This is... bad. He's throwing his campaign in the garbage. Someone else will get the nomination

    What's the nuclear triad?

    It's probably best he doesn't make himself look like a bigger moron.

    The question everyone should ask is this: Mr. Trump how is that you want to ban Mexican undocumented on the (false) basis they're all drug dealers when your whole career has been made off of dealings with criminals and drug dealers?

    PErhaps he knew they were going to finally interrogate about his career as a con artist, and he knew that when it finally happened, his aspiration to become president, much like his stupid show, will go down the drain?

    Actually, a lot of gamblers have voted against him winning in the primaries, which is a good sign. People don't want to vote for who they don't think will win.

    He can't handle a situation where someone will yell above him and tell him he is full of $#@&! I would love to hear his response if someone asked him where he came from. He isn't Native American or from Mexico he seems to hate so much. Guess he forgot Sea to Shining Sea Americans are ALL Immigrants!

    I think Trump is gonna become president regardless. He seems very likely to get the Republican nomination at this point, and I think he's gonna be running against Hilary. Trump is a very aggressive speaker and Hilary has too much about her worth attacking. I think he's going to get little to nothing done seeing as how he's out of his mind and won't get congressional approval for most of his ideas, but I think he's pretty cleared for the presidency at this point.

    Well if this happens, sorry America but if Trump becomes president, we'll have to assume 80% of Americans are stupid people. Because they voted a crazy billionaire to be president. Can America prove they aren't dumb or is it too hard.

    Trump is a genius. He did the one thing that got him more publicity than if he had attended and put Fox News in a bad light at the same time. Trump doesn't need a debate with the media's mudslinging turning him into a martyr unintentionally.

    It demonstrated his willingness to refuse and walk away from bad deals and his willingness not to be politically correct or prim and proper. In short every move he is doing has a motive, and very very few people, including his very own supporters, realize that. The self-funding, his proposals, his 30-second videos and so much more. Trump is a person who likes winning and Americans especially, like winners.

    I don't think someone like Trump would win under any normal circumstances, but Sanders refers to himself as a socialist which immediately destroys any chance he has of winning support from the majority of the country, and Hilary is borderline unelectable jst based on how dishonest and unlikable she is. Trump is a hilariously poor choice for any sort of political position, but the fact of the matter is that he decided to run at just the right time.

    He's also pulling the right strings. Both Sanders and (in particular) Clinton, have very little support on social media compared Trump. His moves are planned and not only that, he is being given free advertisement and martyr status by the media.

    Judging from the way things are looking, he's going to win by a landslide. The fact that there are a lot of dissatisfied voters only serves to give him quite the edge.

    Idk, saying he is a socialist probably makes me vote for him more. From asking around my little town only the old white are voting for Trump, a few are refusing to vote because there is no one good to vote for, and the rest are going with Sanders

    And let's look at this way
    Canada, Finland, and Denmark are some of the most socialist countries and look how well they're doing. Perhaps its time for a little bit of chnage

    It warms my heart that someone in the US identifying as a Democratic Socialist can get as much support as Bernie Sanders has received. It's absolutely the next step for America to take into modernity, as far as my concerned.


    That being said, half of the US has been brainwashed to hear "socialist" and automatically think "Stalin's Russia." An idiotic association to be sure, but as I said, brainwashed...

    I am totally with both of you. This is an essential mindshift the US needs to make in order to stay viable as a nation (socially and economically). My fear is that such a mindshift constitutes much more than "a little bit of change", and that the vast bulk of fear-driven America is going to need to be dragged kicking and screaming into that future...but that our political process does not support dragging the majority of the nation kicking and screaming into anything.

    Personally, I'm glad that at least one sane nation is just a border away (and that I have a valid passport)...in case the country refuses to remain socially and economically viable as a nation.

    Yep...my nation of residence in 2020 may well rest on the outcome of this election. I am frankly scared to death of a nation that would elect such a person to office.
