Picking this up on Closing Bell at CNBC.
No links yet. Reporting from Robert Costa of WaPo who linked in visually to Closing Bell.
Heh.
He’s got moxie, I’ll give him that.
Trump should get 1/2 of the marginal ad revenue for him showing up.
He’s the attraction. Without him, no ad dollars? He’s got negotiating strength. Told us. I believed him, now maybe other will.
Donald Trump and his advisers have decided to work directly with television executives and take a lead role in negotiating the format and content of primary debates, which have become highly watched and crucial events in the 2016 race, according to Republicans familiar with their plans.Trump will reject a joint letter to television network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns, the Republicans said.
The move by Trump, coming just hours after a group of Republican strategists huddled in the Washington suburbs to craft a list of possible demands, thwarts an effort by the campaigns and the letter’s drafter, longtime GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg, to find consensus and work collectively to negotiate terms.
It also underscores the Trump campaign high command’s pattern of occasionally working with fellow party outsiders — they are friendly with retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson — but otherwise operating on their own, rather than in close coordination with GOP rivals or the Republican National Committee, which has been coordinating debates.

It’s really time to banish the ones who consistently average under 5% in the polls, Christie, Paul, Kasich and Huckabee to the kiddie table. Give more time to those who have shown at least some ability to garner support.
I'm beginning to believe Mexico will build the wall. And pay for it.
That would be a great way to fund his campaign.
With MSM dollars.
k....
Who’s the headline writer that’s going to steam my:
“The Debate Debates!”
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
Patriots, Trump is used to being the boss. But I do not think that low-information Trump understands that corrupt Congress can make him a lame-duck president from his first day in office. So if patriots elect Trump as president then they are also going to have to elect a new Congress that will legislatively support Trump.
uh...that would be STEAL....
He’s going to sell his own advertising for his own debate. lol
You have to give him credit. Maybe he will decide who the rest of the field should be and schedule the rest of the debates himself with networks. He can choose the moderators himself. Total anarchy of the most civilized and liberated fashion.
Talk about bucking the establishment? This guy is on his way to taking over the GOP by proxy.
I have never been a Trump guy, per say. I still like Cruz. But you cannot deny he does lead. And he earns the respect he is so verbose about demanding. I hate to love his style.
>> He’s got moxie, I’ll give him that.
I didn’t realize money had an x in it.
I like that he’s not waiting around for Rince Preibus or whatever his name is, to set up more circus shows like that last one.
Very interesting. Quite an opportunity to show whether he’s the negotiator he says he is.
Am I the only one predicting that this will not turn out well for Trump?
Apparently.
Maybe I’m wrong.
Trump needs to go to Pay-Per-View
