Donald Trump will miss the final Republican presidential debate to address a major pro-Israel lobbying organization instead, according to an insider.
“Hearing that Trump secured a Monday night speaking slot at AIPAC conf. in D.C,” tweeted Noah Pollak, executive director of the Emergency Committee for Israel, referencing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
“Also happening that night: [the] Republican debate in Salt Lake City,” he added, alluding to the 13th GOP presidential contest on March 21.
Fox News announced on Monday that it is hosting next week’s contest in Salt Lake City -- its fourth event this presidential election. Trump remained non-committal later that evening when asked about his plans.
“Well, I don’t know,” he said on Fox News’s “On the Record” when asked if he would attend the contest. "I know nothing about it right now.

YAY TRUMP!
The debates are not debates...just platforms for the media to shill for candidates and ask the same questions again.
Two steps ahead always. Hmmm, that could be a good trait in a leader of a country. Hmmm.
Great news.
America is debated out.
But Megyn was hoping Trump would compliment her again...and she could once again say "Be still my heart".
I hope he does skip it. We don’t need any more debates.

Put up an empty podium. Clint Eastwood-style.
Awesome!!!
Awesome!!!
This is good. I also hope he will focus on the miners who have lost their jobs. He can really hit cankles where it hurts.
Chickening out, again. Backfired in Iowa.
On the other hand, debates have been a challenge for him all along. The novelty factor has worn off, and he can’t really deliver substance.

Wonderful. Hope it’s true. I thought Mr. Trump had something up his sleeve when he started saying a few rallies back that enough is enough.
They only are interested in ratings.
They might as well. The only thing going on will be sermonizing and karate chopping.
Smart move ! Go Trump !
No more reason for trump to subject himself to a firing squad from all sides.
Trump takes a dive. He cannot survive a one on one debate. A three way debate is also high risk. His whole debate shtick depends on being able to toss bombs and then hide in the crowd rather than defend his ground, which he is not competent to do.
