Donald Trump has not yet changed his mind.
The GOP presidential front-runner announced yesterday that he will not participate in tomorrow's Fox News debate.
"I'm not going to do the debate. I'm going to have something else in Iowa," Trump said yesterday.
Tomorrow's debate is the last one before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
Instead of appearing on stage with his presidential competitors, Trump said he will host an event for veterans in Des Moines, Iowa, during the debate.
"He will...raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians," the Trump campaign said in a statement released Tuesday night.
"When Donald Trump goes to Des Moines and we start raising money for veterans and wounded warriors and we have multiples of millions of dollars raised for these people and the American people tune in because they want to support that and Fox goes back and say they should have had 24 million watching their debate and instead they got 1 million, it's a disservice to the American people," Trump"s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said today on "Good Morning America."
Lewandowski also claimed this morning on MSNBC that other campaigns have "asked us proactively" to participate in the event and that "it's very possible" that other candidates could skip the debate as well. ...

He should have something in Dodge City. That would be fitting.
I thought CNN was going to cover it
Correction: Fort Dodge, because that’s where he’s hiding out.
or just tune to CNN
Poor Ted, now everybody will turn their jabs on him. He needs Trump their as his shield.
TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) intends to hide from the meanie Moderator and meanie Ted Cruz by running away from the debate and commiserating with CNN.
Yeah, I heard that, also heard OANN was.
What channel?
He should get Willie from Duck Dynasty, some musicians, and have a big show. In two hours of a telethon he could raise millions.
[”it’s very possible” that other candidates could skip the debate as well]
Trump should extned the invtation to all of the undercard candidates, since no one will be watching them, (yes, even Snarly Carly). So then, Fox would have to cancel that debate and lose even MORE ad money.
His website will be better, no bias, no commercials, just a live stream.
I still don’t get it.
I think he will pull it off. And I hope he has every national news agency there to do news releases and media reporting. Friday should be all about Trump IF he does this right.
If you think it makes Trump look bad then you should be happy he is doing it. Cruz seems all flustered about it for some reason.
I’m sure if he had it to do all over again, he’d do it all over you.
Willie from Duck Dynasty
Did Willie go to the dark side? I think he did.....spit.
I think Trump revoked Teds “easy ride to the top” ticket.
Teds on his own.
Will it be good or bad? We will find out next week.
