Donald Trump claims he will skip the debate Thursday on Fox News -- all because he is afraid to face Fox News anchor and debate moderator Megyn Kelly.

On Tuesday, Trump used a Twitter poll to ask his followers if they think he should skip the debate. As of 10:30p.m. on Tuesday evening, more than 125,000 people voted -- and 59 percent think he should participate.

When three-of-five of your own supporters disagree with you, that can't be good.

And, people are starting to ask if this decision was made last minute. As the Washington Examiner reported, Trump spokesman Katrina Pierson learned live on CNN of Trump's decision. Clearly, it wasn't something he consulted his staff on for very long.

If this negative reaction continues to built, will he change his mind? Trump campaign manager Cory Lewandowski said of this decision, "his word is his bond."

We will see (or we won't see, and hopefully Fox will leave an empty lectern).
