Trump's Morning Joe town hall to compete directly with Cruz, Rubio on CNN
The Hill ^ | February 16, 2016, 01:25 pm | Harper Neidig

The event will take place at the same time as a CNN town hall featuring fellow GOP presidential candidates Ben Carson, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. CNN announced its event Saturday.

Scarborough had harsh words for CNN last week, after the network reported that the "Morning Joe" hosts were giving favorable treatment to Trump, and that MSNBC officials were concerned about the trend.

MSNBC also responded by issuing a statement that denied some of the accusations put forth by CNN, including that Brzezinski and Scarborough celebrated the New Hampshire primary results with Trump in his hotel room.

It should be noted that Morning Joe is off to a great start in this election year, the statement added. In January, the show had 28% more viewers than CNN's morning show last month. And thus far in February, more people are watching Morning Joe than CNN.

Actually, the Kiddie debate will be on CNN and the Grownup debate will be on MSNBC. ;-)

Seems like Trump is afraid to give other candidates the oxygen to explain their positions. Like he needs to have all the attention for himself.... If only there were a diagnosis for that hummmmmm....... oh wait there is ADD Attention Deficit Disorder. If Trump is the next coming of Reagan then he shouldn’t be afraid to let the others explain their views, because his will be thee better explanation. I wonder if Cruz will host a similar event on thursday, or maybe Rubio will...... Just wondering.

I like Morning Joe. I watch it more and more with Karl Rove on FAUX every -—m every morning spewing the GOPe crap. Those Faux lackeys are puppets . I feel sorry for them. They can’t believe that Rino crap.

That’s what I was thinking. If Trump is such a sure thing like his followers attest, why do this?

What I love about Trump is that he is a brutal competitor. He competes as hard as he can taking no prisoners. All the Trump critics would evaporate like snow flakes if they had to compete against Trump.

So why can’t Cruz and Rubio do the same thing on Thursday opposite Trump?

Because no one would watch.

Trump is a good man. His family loves him and respects him.

I just saw this gif with Teddy and his daughter. She, like her mom, don't want his kisses. That tells a lot about the man. Watch his eyes! I'd bet he's thinking "did anybody see that?"
