O'Reilly Unsuccessful at Brow Beating
Trump to Reenter Debates
During his interview with Donald Trump
on Tuesday night, Bill O'Reilly tried nearly every trick in the book
to get the front-runner to reconsider his debate boycott, from noting
that Christians are taught to forgive to calling in vanilla
milkshake-related favors. After their 16-minute discussion the answer
was still no, but O'Reilly probably didn't expect to win Trump over.
Going through with the previously scheduled interview was a win for
both men, even if O'Reilly was ribbed on Twitter for acting as the
journalistic equivalent of Lloyd Dobler standing on the lawn with a
boom box over his head.
