Like Trump or hate him, he got Fox to take off the mask and reveal themselves to be just another front for the Washington establishment. Well, if Megyn Kelly ever gets tired of playing pretend opposition on Fox I'm sure they'll find a place for her at MSNBC.
Moore ended the interview with, “And before I leave, I just want to say again, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, it’s pp to get elected president in this country, you have to come on this network. You have to play ball with this network. Donald Trump today said I’m not playing ball with this network. That’s a historic moment, and it’s going to be interesting to see where the real power is. Trump thinks he doesn’t need Fox News. I think Fox News probably has something else to say about that. And it’ll be interesting to see where do the powers that be go with this?”
Who knew Michael Moore was such a big fan of Fox "news."

Chump is not a conservative...he's just another New York bigmouth whose ego is even bigger than his fortune. So he takes his marbles and goes home cuz he can't stand up to a debate with a real conservative like Ted Cruz...
If he can't stand up to Megyn Kelly at Fox how's he gonna handle the MSLSD media when they finish worshipping Hitlery and turn their Marxist propaganda machines at him?
He's skipping the debate because he's afraid of actually having to talk intelligently about the issues instead of bloviating.

So because Megyn Kelly had an interview with Michael Moore, she's a liberal, and Fox is just another liberal news outlet? I guess her recent in-depth hour long interviews with the heroes of Benghazi were designed to help the the current administration too? And please tell me what was inaccurate or wrong with the question she asked Trump on the first debate?

I disagree.
Trump has his spiel,Cruz has his.
As far as Cruz being a "real conservative", there are numerous holes in his "conservatism", small example found here:
The whole meaning of the "conservative" is overused and overstated today.
By classical definition, no "candidate" on the Republican side meets the "conservative" criteria. They are all flawed.
So, for me, I'd rather have 50% of something rather then 100% of nothing.
Good enough for Jerry Fallwell Jr. and Sherrif Joe Arpaio, good enough for me.

I think he has a crush on Megyn Kelly. He asked her out to dinner and made several complimentary comments. She had to mention she was married. I couldn't believe they gave this toad air time. But Fox says they are fair and balanced.

Are these the views of a conservative Republican?

Not in my opinion. That's why I said that they are all flawed.
Moreover, people can in fact change/shift their views over the years. It is part of human condition.
I look at things from the pragmatic point of view, and right now, Trump is the only one I can envision beating Leftist commies come November. We will need a lot more then "true conservatives" to win. And yes, that includes those who are socially liberal but fiscally conservative, those who Trump can get, but Cruz cannot.
Just for humor, here is a time capsule moment from Cruz:
They are all flawed.

Cruz doesn't have a long record of saying very liberal things, Trump does. And Cruz actually did what he said he would do in the Senate even as the RINO's called him a whacko bird... He's also a real Constitutional lawyer, unlike Faux-bama. Even liberal Alan Dershowitz said he was one of his smartest students at Harvard. I admire Trump for his business accomplishments, but politically I'm not ready to trust him.

Trump is trolling the republican party. Not that I give a cup of warm spit one way or the other. I'm not a member any longer, so it doesn't bother me so much.

Let me reframe for you.....Michael Moore endorsed Fox and he was invited to do so to help take down Trump. So what that Megyn Kelly interviewed the heroes of Benghazi? Fox positions itself as being to the right...POSITIONS in the sense of a facade...not actually is to the right. I don't know who you think is calling Fox "liberal" --I said Fox was an "establishment" front. Establishment in the same sense that McConnell, Ryan, Christie, Jeb Bush, et al, all RINOs, are all part of the establishment.
Fox recently hosted the National Review take down attempt on Trump....followed by a Rubio speech. Not Ted Cruz, not Fiorina, not Ben Carson...Rubio. Why is that? It's because the GOP establishment has recognized there is no chance of foisting Bush or Christie on the electorate and Rubio is their default. And why is Fox pushing Rubio and what is the primary establishment position these tactics support? OPEN BORDERS.
Rupert Murdoch is one of the biggest open border pushers on the planet. Rubio is all for open borders and letting those here illegally stay. That's what Fox is pushing and why they want to take down Trump.
Megyn Kelly is a dishonest shill. I don't know which debate question you're referring to but one in particular was so dishonest it demolished any credibility she might have had. She implied Trump had made a derogatory sexual reference to a woman on his television show. The quote she used was knowingly taken out of context to attack Trump with the phony "war on women" rhetoric and was not a derogatory sexual reference...as confirmed not only when read in context but by the woman to whom the remark had been directed.
However, even if her attempted smear hadn't been dishonest, using the left's phony "war on women" attack proxy is enough to discredit her. I didn't hear the Michael Moore interview. Even if I watched Fox I wouldn't have had the necessary intestinal fortitude to listen to Megyn Kelly, much less Michael Moore. However, while I was listening to the radio this morning several callers that had seen it claimed that MK and MM were giggling and mocking veterans.
