Trump loves headlines. He said he wouldn't attend a debate before, but came back anyway. At least Paul's in- now to make use of what time he's given.
Trump won't participate in Thursday's debate

Wow, they are *good. I figured the Kelly thing was all staged Rand-blocking-drama but I didn't think past that to use it down the road. Do you think they will cycle-milk this thing?
Trump is the real deal! He won't put up with any flak -not even from Fox! Woohoo!
I believe Rump said he wouldn't split the party, depending on Rand's progress I bet. What a show.
*In an evil sort of way if you understand my meaning.
Hmmmm... maybe.
Or, maybe, the plan all along is for Jeb to make a miraculous comeback and destroy the tyrant Trump, and ride the wave of that tsunami to beat Hillary/Bernie. Jeb will be pumped and be the comeback kid this election.

I don't think Trump is going to skip because he can't stand not being on that stage in front of everyone, and because I don't think he has the actual balls to follow through on juvenile threats like this one. On the other hand, if he does skip the debate, between his pointless babble and Fiorina's annoying, interrupting shrillness being absent, the debate may prove to be worth watching.

Trump won't be there. He's going to do what Rand did, and hold an alternative event. It may make it onto another network.
Roger Ailes put out a sarcastic press release on Trump earlier, and that is why Trump has dropped out. Trump has now been able to call out Ailes as being biased. Fox News is biased, imagine that.
Supposedly, this came straight from Roger Ailes:

He is scared of Rand. I think Rand is about to turn up the heat. He is going to call the fake candidates out for what they are, and try to talk sense to the Trump supporters. Trump would rather take his voters and stay home. He will stay out of the kitchen because he cant take the heat.

Good fucking riddance. The Trumpkins can't be swayed anyway. This, if anything, will just make them forget about politics and forget to caucus.

I wouldn't get your hopes up in that regard.

They have been to some degree since the beginning, thus Trump's original battle with them. It appears that the hardcore neoconservatives are not taking the mainstream establishment's apparent (likely temporary) truce with Trump very well. Bill Kristol was on CNN earlier ripping Trump, and pushing Rubio. Ailes is even coming out in the open. Interesting politics going on here.
It is interesting.
When I do watch fox, less so lately, it's usually in the morning where they seem to kiss his ass more than anything.

Ancient political secret: you don't have to answer the question they actually ask.
Moderator: "Senator Paul, here is a question about Trump?"
Paul: "Thank you for asking about my economic plan! Here is why it will make life better for Americans."

Before he said he was out, Trump was also on Special Neocon Report with Brett Baier. Brett was giving Trump a really hard time, especially on the ethanol issue. Probably contributed to the decision.
Trump would probably want to avoid questions on issues right now anyway. He's probably flipped and flopped himself into a corner.
