Trump Says He'll Skip GOP Debate Because Megyn Kelly Is Moderating
------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from the campaign trail, Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump says he will probably not participate in Thursday's Fox
News-hosted debate. This comes after Trump spent days demanding Fox
remove anchor Megyn Kelly as one of the debate moderators-a demand that
Fox refused to meet. In August, during the first GOP debate, Kelly asked
Trump about his history of calling women "fat pigs, dogs, slobs and
disgusting animals." After the debate, Trump criticized Kelly, saying,
"She starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions. And, you know,
you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out
of her, wherever."
