Whenever I see Trump in the headline I check the poster.
This one slipped through the filter somehow.

Almost as frustrating as the 24/7 Walker coverage was.
By the time he announced, I was already tired of hearing about him.

He might subconsciously be looking for a way out. He can’t just quit because he is Trump Tower!

A very keen observation on your part............

Didn't he threaten to sit this one out if for some reason or another he did not get something?

This guy is so vain he thinks the world revolve around him. Who in their right mind would elect a person like him for president, a democrat or what?

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I’m glad CNN called the blowhard’s bluff this week.

You are calling these debates?

They are hash slinging and face making contests at their bests. Watching grown people act like 3 year olds on live TV, well most of them. It is sickening to the core

Sorry, kiddo. Without Trump in the debates, CNN might as well air reruns of “Mama’s Family.”

Trump might be really smart to skip the debate and tweet his comments throughout

He would win the internets

Trumps use of bankruptcy restructured the debt and kept the businesses alive and retained most of the jobs too. It is a legal framework to give each party the fairest outcome that can be legally accepted by both, when economies and business plans fail

Do some research on them

This is taught in business school as a way to keep going on a different path, not to dump everything and walk away

That’s the point

What is your considered opinion of Trump's Vietnam military draft history?

"Trump came of age for the draft during the Vietnam War. In an interview in 2011 on New York station WNYW, he stated, "I actually got lucky because I had a very high draft number." Selective Service records retrieved by The Smoking Gun website from the National Archives show that, although Trump did eventually receive a high selective service lottery number in 1969, he was not drafted earlier because of four student deferments (2-S) while attending college, and after receiving a medical deferment (1-Y, later converted to 4-F) obtained in 1968 after his college graduation, prior to the lottery being initiated.

Trump was deemed fit for service after a military medical examination in 1966 and was briefly classified as 1-A by a local draft board shortly before his 1968 medical disqualification. Trump attributed his medical deferment to "heel spurs" in both feet, according to a 2015 biographer, but told an Iowa campaign audience he suffered from a spur in one foot, though he could not remember which one.

Your “Breaking News” thread has been moved to chat. ROFL. Think somebody is trying to send you a hint?

Nope I’m happy to have someone I feel great about voting for. You on the other hand steadfastly refuse to even say who you are for. It’s 100% negative, all the time. You seem very bitter.

I wasn’t including Cruz. I was talking about those in single digits without a prayer of even being competitive. They shouldn’t even be on the stage.

Actually I thought the last one did one thing, it clarified the split between those like Jeb, Christie, Carly and Kasich who agree with Hillary and Obama on regime change in Syria, and Trump, Cruz, Carson and Paul who see it as aiding the jihadists. I full agree with the latter.

“Didn’t he threaten to sit this one out if for some reason or another he did not get something?”

I agree with his logic. He’s the clear front runner. He’s being targeted by the left, the media, and the GOPe. He has nothing to gain from the debates.

Screw ‘em.

I he lets them, the RNC, GOPe, CNN, et al will add MORE debates and keep anyone with over 3 points on the roster.

They have to keep up with the debate quips of 1000 cuts to bring him down. It’s easier to do with all the little wannabe Yip Dogs that way.
