Title: After Trump pulls out, Fox News cancels Republican debate

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Republican presidential debate scheduled for next week in Utah has been canceled, host Fox News said on Wednesday, after party front-runner Donald Trump told the network he would not participate.

Trump, who has clashed with Fox News throughout his campaign, told the network in an interview on Wednesday he would not appear at the event, scheduled for Monday, because he thought the Republicans had "had enough debates."

Ohio Governor John Kasich said afterward he would also skip the debate unless Trump changed his mind and decided to come.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, the third remaining Republican candidate seeking the party's nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election, criticized Trump on Twitter, calling him #DuckingDonald and urging his supporters to tell Trump to attend.

"He's scared to debate," Cruz said in an interview on Fox News. "He's afraid of being challenged."

Fox News, part of the Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (FOXA.O) broadcast media and entertainment company controlled by Rupert Murdoch, earlier this week announced the debate, to be held in Salt Lake City, its latest in the primary season. Utah holds its presidential primary next Tuesday.

"Ted Cruz has expressed a willingness to debate Trump or Kasich - or both. But obviously, there needs to be more than one participant," Fox News Channel’s executive vice president of news, Michael Clemente, said in a statement. "So the Salt Lake City debate is canceled."

After the cancellation, Trump posted on Twitter that he would make a "big speech" the night of the debate, "but I wish everyone well."

[Article] "Ted Cruz has expressed a willingness to debate Trump or Kasich - or both. But obviously, there needs to be more than one participant," Fox News Channel’s executive vice president of news, Michael Clemente, said in a statement. "So the Salt Lake City debate is canceled."

The title should accurately reflect that the debate was canceled after Kasich declined to debate Cruz heads up, thereby leaving only Cruz willing to go on.

Kasich turned down a couple of hours of free airtime rather than debate Cruz heads up.

I doubt any of these guys could debate Cruz heads up in an honest debate with legitimate questions.

However, if Fox had not canceled the debate, i fully believe Cruz would have had no problem in getting in a heated debate with his podium.

Trump can and has. They are not judged on collegiate debating points. Trump talks to the people as if they were downing beers at a bar or just sitting around. He connects with people. Cruz is a more refined debater, but is delivery does not connect in the manner that Trump does with the audience. Cruz would win if only they were being judged by a gaggle of debate judges.

Trump v. Hillary would be interesting where Hillary shouts and screeches, and maybe barks, and Trump is conversational.

Been there. Done that.

His name was George W. Bush.

He was an utter failure as President. He plunged us into foreign wars, lost, and blew up the US economy.

He was sort of the reverse of FDR. FDR took over a country that was sunk in an economic depression and disarmed in the face of rising threats. He armed the country, thereby bringing the country out of the Depression, fought a world war, and won it.

Bush took over a country at peace, militarily predominant, with a budget surplus and a booming economy. He took us to war in several places, lost, left us massively in debt and in an economic Depression.

Bush was a greater failure as President than Jimmy Carter. We got our moron.

FDR's economic policies were a disaster, the record is perfectly clear on that. The only thing that turned that around was the war. FYI FDR campaigned at least twice (his 3rd AND 4th terms) promising We The People that he would not get into "that war in Europe" while all the time doing the opposite of what he promised. He lied, over and over again. But it seems that you are one of those the ends justify the means type, aka a DRat.

I am not a Democrat. Never have been. Am not likely to become one as long as the Democrats have their current policies on abortion.

FDR's economic policies were the right thing to do. He inherited a disaster inflicted by Republican Administrations - a familiar theme, and he stabilized the situation and gave the country hope.

FDR didn't drag us into the war. The Japanese bombed us, remember?

You hard-core partisan Republicans are just like hard-core partisan Democrats: immune to reality, immune to the truth, living in your fantasies, and more and more out of touch with the people. That's why your precious Establishment is falling to pieces in the face of Trump. All the Establishment has is guys like you.

It is exactly my endeavors to discover the truth that led me to change my registered party affiliation. I haven't been a registered REP in years. I haven't support the national or my state REP party in years.

As for you, you have stated many times on this forum that you strongly prefer the DRats to the REPs. In fact I seem to recall that you stated that you hated the REP party. I recall that you even stated that you supported Obama even though he supports late term abortions. You have been a major hypocrite on your precious issue of abortion. You best do a reality check on yourself.

You have a reading comprehension problem.

I have stated that I strongly prefer the Democrats to Republicans on economic matters and poverty relief.

I hate the Republican Party because they are liars.

I hate the Democrats because they're babykillers.

If you recall me saying that I "supported Obama" you are now doing what you accuse Trump of doing: lying. I voted for McCain (really, I voted for Sarah), and I voted for Romney. I held my nose and voted for Romney, because he was obviously a fraud, but I still considered him better than an avowed babykiller. At least Romney felt the need to lie about his real position.

You're making things up now, purposely obtuse.

And your political platform is shot full of holes and sinking. You're not getting anything you want, you're not going to, you're unappeasable and obnoxious, and you can't keep your facts straight. You went from truths - like "Vicomte hates the Republicans" to wholesale lies, like "Vicomte supported Obama", and you believe them.

Bitter, mean, and defeated - you're the old guy shaking his fist as the kids passing by in the street.

Sucks to be you.

You're not going to enjoy President Trump. But I will.

LMAO No you won't.

And there are posts on LF were you said you supported Obama positions over REP's. They are out there but I am not going to take the time to find them, it would just be a waste of time. I didn't say that you voted for him, voting is not the only means/way of support. So bone up on your reading comprehension. Perhaps you should spend more time understanding current languages rather than dead ones.
