The top Republican candidates minus one, perhaps will face off Thursday night in Des Moines for the final time before the Iowa caucuses, in a crucial presidential debate that front-runner Donald Trump has promised to boycott.
The main debate will begin at 9 p.m. Eastern on Fox News Channel.
But Trump, who seems to be leading in Iowa and everywhere else, said he won’t be there.
The candidate demanded that Fox replace moderator Megyn Kelly, because he thinks she asked unfair questions in a past debate and because she has angered him with commentary since then.
So far, Fox hasn’t blinked.
Trump hasn’t either.
