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."

I see you're attracting the attention of the forum's Trumpkin gadflies.

Since you know they are unpersuadeable by any factual presentation, maybe you just enjoy all that typing.     : )

For the most part depantsing intellectual bankrupts is akin to pulling the wings of flies but sometimes it is fun. If you note I only chime in on them when there is an event, as was today with Romney, that highlights either Trump the con man or Trump the destroyer of the REP Party (as with Trump's response to Romney) or when they post something really stupid even for a Trumpkin.

But it really isn't the Trumpkin dupes that is at the heart of my feelings, it's the state of our society. It's the division that seems to grow wider each day without a glimmer of hope that this election will do anything but exploit and widen the rift. It is what I see as the inevitable future of the country. It's the sin and self-destructiveness of believing in false Gods.

Trump wants to make America great again - can any two people agree on what that means? Hillary wants to make America whole again - can any two people agree on what that means? We are all dupes of a sort. It makes me sad. I have no expectation that anything said to the Trumpkins gadflies or Hillary's useful idots or Bernie's Stalinistas or Cruz's Purists will change anyone's thinking .

Shame on me but I am beginning to think that the wisest man on the planet was H.L. Menckin - and he was such a cynical godless bastard. Then I think it might be Lily Tomlin who said "No matter how cynical you become, it's never enough to keep up." How did the country become so f*cked up?

Does it really make sense to you that in February the RNC agrees to a debate to be hosted by Fox in Salt Lake City on March 20 or 21 and neither the RNC nor Fox contact any of the candidates for participation until March 14?

No. That is so terminally stupid that I am surprised you would suggest that it happened.

Until March 14, no firm decision was made on the venue, specific date, specific time, or who would be sponsoring the event. When all was confirmed, only then could the event be officially anounced.

The February action of penciling in a debate in February was no more than the RNC determining to have another debate with a venue, time, place, and sponsor to be determined.

in February the RNC agrees to a debate to be hosted by Fox in Salt Lake City on March 20 or 21

The problem with this declarative crap is that the underlined portion is creative bullshit. That decision was made in mid-March for March 21.

I didn't, this what Trump claimed. He stated that he had no knowledge of the Salt Lake City debate on March 9 when he accepted the engagement at AIPAC. That is so terminally stupid a statement by him that you know that it is a lie. He knew about the SLC debate well before March 9 and likely said he would participate in it sometime in Feb. He just chickened out when it became clear that it would just be three of them and peed his pants when he found out that one of them would be Cruz.

FTR misterwhite and Roscoe believe Trump's story. Now that is terminally stupid.

There is no hope for Trump dupes.

It was not announced until March 14th. Trump and Kasich declined to accept the invitation which did not exist until March 14th.

Keep trying.
