Trump will only now speak to Murdoch. This is an open-borders issue. The whole reason Fox, The Wall Street Journal and the whole Murdoch empire wants to sink Trump and promote Rubio.
Today the editors of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal slammed GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for his opposition to the publication’s long-standing support for open border trade and immigration policies.
The Wall Street Journal, like Murdoch,is decidedly open borders. In 1984, the WSJ editorial board wrote, “If Washington still wants to ‘do something’ about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders.”
Breitbart News has previously exposed how Murdoch is the co-chair of what is arguably one of the most powerful open borders immigration lobbying firms in the country, the Partnership For A New American Economy. Similarly, Murdoch has joined executives at Goldmann Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup in urging Congress to fast-track President Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which Sen. Marco Rubio described as the “second pillar” of a President Rubio’s three-pillared foreign policy platform.

All it means, as far as Adams is saying, is that Trump is a better negotiator than your garden variety politician, and certainly better than most news outlets. Adams has never said anything pro or con about what Trump says or stands for. Trump understands that there is only one way to lose a debate: participate. He could win the debate, but might also lose. For any of the other candidates to drop out now is just capitulation that Trump's the only one that matters but the possibility of losing the debate is still there so there is no upside to staying in at this point. Any other candidate that dropped out before Trump did would not be able to spin their exit to make it look like they were capable of winning, so they all had to stay in. And in the end the whole debacle has kept Trump in the news cycle and all other candidates paying paying paying to get any airtime at all.
If you're a fan of Trump that's great, but if you're simply a fan of policy wonks who have good ideas and skills but aren't showmen like Trump, it's bad. If Trump wins, all we'll get from here on out are people who play the game better than others. Which is basically how it is, anyway, but Trump's rewriting all the rules.
Pretty much spot on except that I would offer that Trump is playing by the rules, same as everyone else, just better.
I just read Adams now and he is right on top of this and I agree with him. Trump is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers ...
Moving on, its about picking someone to make the final decision or have the last word on whatever, so to speak, right ? In the perfect world of the benevolent dictator school of thought, we can only hope that that person has not been compromised, bought or corrupted before they get that power. Then they face their biggest obstacle in getting anything done, the corrupt, self perpetuating, monolithic unionized federal bureaucracy and the patronage system. Full of deadwood, waste and willful malfeasance ( EPA anyone ?). It is impossible to fire anyone, we are told over and over again. Says who ? FDR said that government workers should not be unionized because it is counter productive to the job at hand and I agree.
Someone who reaches power outside of the political patronage system, is not beholden to it. If someone should be fired, then it stands a much better chance of happening. Sure it gets tied up in court, but its a beginning. All the idle government owned real estate sitting, untouched because its in someone's district, might get unloaded. yada ... But, finally, maybe it gets done, by someone who knows what they are doing.
Someone has to pick up the kicked can. I want the most qualified and unshackled person doing it and hope that they are doing it for the right and honest reasons.
Is this what it means when no one owns you ? You really do get to call your own shots ? No one can make you show up ?
Heard former UN Amb Bolden last night offer up this pure speculation ... what if ... this was a maneuver (taking advantage of this opportunity) designed to give Trump more sway in the Fall when the final debates happen ?
This is round 2 of Trump vs. Ailes and the Establishment ... , eh ?
Keeping it brief because I'm about to watch a film...
This is not about future maneuvers. There are several issues at play here.
Issue one is that debate moderators should be reasonably unbiased. Megyn Kelly is not. There is a lot of footage of her slating Trump on her own shows. What is the point of having debates if the news the next day is all about a moderator feuding with Trump?
The press release from Fox was in Trump's words childish and insulting and is the main reason he walked. Trump is THE reason the previous Fox debate had the highest ratings in US cable history. They made a fortune from it but now think they can sell him a bad deal? Nope.
Fox is owned by Rupert Murdoch who is an elite globalist that campaigns for open borders, as many of the scumbags do. This sets the agenda at Fox and explains why they will never give Trump a level playing field.
Finally as already mentioned giving Fox the finger and staging his own event makes Trump a hero in the eyes of many Democrats who despise Fox. It is Trump's cross party support that will make him president.

Or perhaps a FOX competitor will offer Trump a show of his own for two hours, at the same time, just to be dicks to FOX. Anything can happen, but all paths seem to favor Trump.
Now let’s say you are Donald Trump, the scariest Republican that any Democrat has seen in ages. What is the one best thing he can do to separate himself from the Republican machine and show that he can be a deal-maker for everyone?Answer: Punch FOX News in the mouth. Right in front of you.
Yeah, no pundit understands Trump better than Scott Adams. All his predictions for this campaign have been bang on.

Panicking Fox insiders are now trying to pin the blame for the crisis on Roger Ailes. According to Ann Coulter's recent tweet Trump's alternate event will air on CNN.
Fox News Statement Taunting Trump Was ‘100 Percent’ Roger Ailes
As the war between Fox News and Donald Trump ratchets up, Roger Ailes is fighting off criticism from his senior executives over his handling of the crisis. According to one highly placed source, last night, Ailes sent out the now-famous statement mocking Trump as being scared to meet with the “Ayatollah” and “Putin” if he became president. “That was Roger 100 percent,” the source explained. “A lot of people on the second floor” — where top Fox executives work — “didn’t think it was a good idea.”
Fox executives are also troubled that Ailes’s principal adviser right now is his longtime personal lawyer and Fox & Friends contributor Peter Johnson Jr. “He wrote the statement with Peter,” the source explained. “Peter is running the war room,” another Ailes friend told me. Fox executives are worried that Ailes is relying on an attorney with scant communications experience as the network is reeling from the biggest PR crisis in recent memory. Historically, during a crisis like this Ailes would have huddled with his veteran communications guru Brian Lewis. But Ailes fired Lewis in 2013 over his concerns that Lewis had been a source for my 2014 Ailes biography. Since Lewis’s ouster, Johnson has taken on the role of media counselor.

Trump is holding his own event to raise money for wounded veterans that other campaigns are now wanting to be part of. When the ratings come out Fox is going to be so humiliated... if they still have any candidates taking part.
Speaking on Good Morning America and Morning Joe this morning, Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski hinted that other candidates were thinking of dropping out of the upcoming Fox News debate after Trump decided to bail.
FOX News host Greta Van Susterenasked her conservative viewers if they will tune in to Thursday’s GOP debate now that Donald Trump has announced he will not participate.
83% of viewers said they WILL NOT watch the debate.
Mr. Trump, who is expected to testify at the trial, said he had resisted efforts to settle the case out of court. ''It would be cheaper, but on principle I won't,'' he said. ''We did nothing wrong.'' (1998)
