I think Trump skipped the debate to show the media that he does not need them and that he is not on their leash. That being said, I do think it hurt him more than was thought. He told Fox that he would show if they would donate 5 mil to one of his charities, but Fox said they could not do it.
Well, what with the way Kelly was all gussied up with her fake eyelashes and such, i'm quite sure Fox could have easily auctioned her off to some Saudi billionaire for that. I mean what self loathing sheet head could have turned that down?
As far as Trump winning, if he promised this, he would win hands down!
