Both candidates are not allowed to be from the same state so one of them would have to 'move'.

Eh that's not exactly what happened. Trump said they had an agrrement, then bill said something like I'm not gonna listen when someone asks me not to ask them something. So ya not sure whats going on there. Anyways trump didn't seem too bothered by it.

Not a great look for Trump to duck O'Reily's question. It's one thing if he snubs Megyn Kelly, but getting into the habit of avoiding questions all the time is gonna look a little beta.

Um I just watched the O'Reilly thing and Trump handled that expertly, O'Reilly was flailing between appeals to Christian virtue and some utility argument that it's better for Trump's GE chances to do these debates, it was rather pathetic.

Two less bad ways to deal with Trump: viciously troll/counter-troll him, get him angry and ranting about his Casinos or something, or just shut the **** up; the middle road is a total waste of time.

They're already referring to tomorrow's event as the VP Debate.

O'Reilly shamelessly begging Trump to come to the debate was GOLD.

Not true. O'Reilly admitted that he did agree not to ask, but couldn't help himself.

"sold" cars in past tense? sounds like you weren't very good at it.

you work in collections now? any chance that your job is driving you nuts and you're thinking of quitting? if so, you should consider making a thread in OOT

This is correct. O'Reilly flat out admitted he broke their agreement and basically said he hasn't let anyone dictate what he can ask. But as I said I think he handled it very well

I now assume Trump's VP will be a veteran, one who wasn't captured

Murdoch is a huge dick and everything but its not personal for him in any way. If it's a case of trump won't touch his media outlets as the nominee or even just the runaway leader down the line I have no doubt the call is coming in.

Trump needs fox way less than fox needs trump. You can't be the unofficial mouth piece for the rnc whilst the nominee is shifting you out. Trump has all the power right now IF (big if) his gamble skipping the debate doesn't fall flat.

If Kelly goes on the attack at the debate trump wins this battle and not even close.

Not arguing about Trump winning this battle but it's high profile enough to stir interest within Fox over and above the day to day running. Wont matter if Trump never stumbles but he is raising the risk of it being fatal if he stumbles - Murdoch is a very bad enemy to have. This is true even if Fox caves over this and will back Trump all the way if he keeps the momentum going.

well, the statement itself was idiotic, and made without qualifications, so it's not unfair to ask the question in a vacuum.

the statement was clear. there's no loss of context when asking it that way.

let me ask you. when you heard donald's statement about shooting someone. what exactly was teh type of person you think he was referring to? to me, i highly suspect he was NOT talking about a terrorist with a suicide vest on, but rather an innocent person. i am very curious to hear your interpretation of whom he meant he would shoot.
