Trump says people will turn off tomorrow's Democratic primary debate because he's not in it!
'I think people are going to turn it on for a couple of minutes and then fall asleep,' Trump told a Fox News audience Claimed 'a person at CNN' said that 'we have to put Donald Trump in this debate. We're going to die with it' First two GOP debates drew 24 million and 23 million viewers, largely on the strength of Trump's participation Hammered Obama for '60 Minutes' appearance: 'I watched his performance last night and I thought it was terrible' Tuesday's first Democratic presidential primary debate will be a low-ratings snoozefest, according to Donald Trump because he won't be on the stage in Las Vegas.
'I think people are going to turn it on for a couple of minutes and then fall asleep,' The Donald said Monday morning on 'Fox and Friends.'
The debate will air on CNN and feature Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton at center-stage.
'I don't want to say this in a braggadocious way, but a person at CNN and a couple of other people said, "We have to put Donald Trump in this debate. We're going to die with it",' Trump claimed.
'Let's see,' he said. 'I don't think they'll do badly, because there is a curiosity factor. I don't think they're going to do great, and I think a lot of people will turn off after a little while.'

Obama predicted that the 'publicity seeker' Trump won't succeed him in the Oval Office, saying that he is 'the classic reality TV character and, at this early stage, it's not surprising that he's gotten a lot of attention.'
The Donald was not amused.
'I watched his performance last night and I thought it was terrible,' he said.
'It was sad, because everything is negative, you know, nothing positive. I thought it was a little bit sad because there was so much negativity.'
Hillary and Sanders....can anything be more boring?
DON’T EVEN TURN IT ON as it will count as a view.......................that is how I am going to make sure I am not counted..........NOT WATCH AT ALL
I’m not turning it off. That would assume I turned it on in the first place.
Personnally, I’m excited to see Linc Chafee. And maybe Jim Webb will grace us with some readings of the juicier parts of his novels.
He should be in it.
I was going to watch, but I don’t think I will because the following day will be filled with nothing but replays of several segments.
I think I will opt to sleep.
That would be a hoot.
I’ve never actually seen Burney Sanders speak. I’ll catch 10 mins just for the laughs.
I never watch liars.
It’ll be like a yard conversation at an insane asylum.
A sad commentary on how far we’ve fallen. I’ll pass.
If Hillary is in it, I couldn’t watch.
A party that devoid of common sense wouldn’t appeal to me on any level. And that ignores Obama being it’s titular leader right now.
Gag me with a pitchfork.
Can anyone tell me on what channel I can watch “Leave it to Beaver” in lieu of the debate?
I saw a very expensive late model pickup truck yesterday with two stickers:”don’t underestimate Bernie”, and “Not a Republican”.
Irony as dense as the truck owner.
Well, not when you can avoid it, no doubt.
Otherwise, there’s too many on our airwaves.
We will not watch either.
The last cnn debate for the pub bites was awful. Three hrs of awful.
CNN will quote Trump more often than Obummer in the debate. Trump doesn’t have to be there.
Oh he’ll be in it. He’s living in everyone’s minds that fear he will make them look like fools, including yours.
I think the first question asked Hillary should be that if she is not the nominee, will she run as an independent? Then the first question asked of Sanders is, why are you running as a Democrat since you are an avowed and registered Independent - why should Democrats support you?
The Democratic debate first would have to be turned on, before it can be turned off. That is not happening in my house, of course.
