David Gergen, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton and several Republican presidents, disagreed – ACCUSING FOX OF “STEPPING OVER A LINE.” “I don’t think he’ll be there Thursday night,” he told Burnett, “I do believe had he walked away only on the Megyn Kelly question, he would look childish.

(Since then Trump has walked away.)

“But once this press release came out, I think it gave him the excuse not to go. He doesn’t look so childish.

Following is the press release from Fox.  Who is the childish one?

“We learned from a secret back back channel that the ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president, “Fox said in the tongue-in-cheek statement.” A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”

In Iowa, Trump bashed the Fox statement, calling it “wise-guy press releases” and saying that it was a key factor in the decision.

“I didn’t like the fact they sent out press releases toying, talking about Putin and playing games,” he said. “I don’t know what games Roger Ailes, Fox’s chairman and CEO is playing, but what’s wrong over there, something’s wrong.

“But when they sent out that press release talking about, “I said why are these people playing games?” Most likely I won’t be doing the debate.”

He said that Fox “can’t toy with me like they toy with everybody else. Let them have their debate and see how they do with the ratings.”

The problem with Fox is – Ailes is a member of the “good old boys’ club in America and they don’t like Trump because he would mess around with their toys and these good old boys don’t like that.

It is called forming cliques:

In some work groups, a little group will decide that they are the “insiders” and refuse to admit anyone else to their exalted circle. They may eat lunch together or play golf together or talk exclusively to one another. But the point is that they’re special. They probably did the same thing when they were in middle school.

The Proper Response: These people are silly and childish, so find a more mature and rewarding group to interact with. Be friendly to clique members when you have to work with them and just ignore them the rest of the time.

Childish adults are annoying, but don’t get upset about them. Just be glad that you are a mature person yourself, Donald, and know when “to hold them and when to fold them.”

That is what I like about Trump – he calls a “spade” and “spade.”

And  this folks is how the GOOD OLD BOYS CLUB works – if you ain’t in – you ain’t in – ask Bill Kristol.  Kristol was among 22 (pretend) conservatives who wrote essays in the upcoming issue of the National Review opposing Trump’s candidacy.
