This would NEVER happen at a Democratic debate.
People are calling Trump "cowardly", "thin-skinned" and worse for skipping the debate but he's the only one in recent memory that actually stood up for himself and took a stand.
If I remember correctly, Ronald Reagan was the last Republican candidate to skip a primary debate and then he had his "I'm paying for this microphone" moment at another primary debate. They didn't mess with Reagan too much after that.
Those “gotcha” videos raise legitimate questions, the same kind we asked about John Kerry when he was running.
Where, really, do these candidates stand on important issues? It’s fair to remind them of their own words.
Trump was too chicken to face his flip-flops.
He made a very wise decision not to go. He might want to call an end to the GOP debates now.
