Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Tuesday he will boycott his party’s next nationally televised debate and instead hold an event to benefit wounded troops.
In comments to journalists before an Iowa rally, first reported by Politico and the Washington Post, the business mogul and GOP frontrunner accused Fox News of picking a “biased” moderator — network personality Megyn Kelly — to drive up ratings and hurt his campaign.
The debate, scheduled for Thursday night, is the seventh since August. Trump has also complained that the events are too frequent and too long.
Thursday’s debate is the final event before the Iowa caucuses, set for Feb. 1.

He's all kinds of bad, but I think he's sinking to new lows when he's going to have a "fundraiser" to support the vets.....now he's been in NYC his whole life, and NYC has guard and RC units, and Ft. Drum.....when has he supported the troops before? We've been at war for 15 years, and NOW he wants to hold a "fundraiser" to benefit the vets? This is a sham of the highest. You don't want to be placed on a stage and you KNOW Megyn is coming after you like she did before, so make a stink and walk out. How many fundraisers has he done since running for office for the vets?

I posted my comment SSG Warren Swan and then I saw yours right below mine. You nailed it home. And I sent half my life in New York City and I never heard his name mentioned with the military!

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL Do you think he is grandstanding or having a fit after Fox news refused to not have Megyn Kelly as a host?

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL - Its because a woman put him in his place and he doesn't like that. He's the childhood bully we all may have faced at one time or another. Some men have a problem with women in general, others have a problem with women in power; I think he has a problem with them all. I would not be surprised at all if I heard that he was an abusive spouse.
