One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line.
The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.

I am so done with the Republican party. Done.
I can’t think of a stupider thing to do!!!
Trump is the front runner, Bush isn’t top of any honest polls I know no one who is voting for him.
Where did you get the bizarre idea that I did?
how about a hastag war?

perhaps someone can have a better debate tag to promote this latest Trumpnado.
They can ban him all they want but he’s getting out the truth and that’s what matters. The rinos and commies wouldn’t be so scared if what he says wasn’t true.
Hah, the left don’t want hillery either.
Look for a ‘savior’ to come out of the blue.
Michelle? Hispanics would go for her because of obama. Blacks would go for her just because. Foreigners, illegal and/or illegal will for her. they will let vote
YES!
Nothing dumb about Perot. If he had stayed in the race until November instead of dropping out for six weeks or so in late June, he would have got enough popular votes to throw the election into the House. When he dropped out, he thought that Clinton would pick up enough steam to defeat Bush, but Clinton flagged somewhat and so Perot got back into the race, taking enough Republicans votes away from Bush to defeat him. Ross got in because he hated Bush. I think he dropped out because he was afraid he might get elected!
He’s beneath her elite stage. She would never do that.
The pale pastel stuff is what Big Business wants.
Michelle would be an even worse candidate than Hillary.
I wondered when you'd show up!
No, not sure of that at all. Hillary is hugely unpopular. Trump is controversial, but a celebrity. I’m not sure he’d lose. It would depend on how many Bushies the GOPe could convince to stay with the Republicans. It could reshape the GOP the way the rise of the Republicans reshaped the Whigs in the 1850s. Too soon to tell.
Well, for one, your tag line.
We do have quite a bit of evidence that the gope want the D. to win. It gives them an excuse for dismantling this country while making excuses for not stopping the destruction.
They didn’t even try in the last two elections by running tired old has beens. They got the house, and immediately capitulated to the left, with the excuse they also needed the senate. After they got the house and senate, Mitch McConnel had this to say about TPA
“We’re in active discussion on TPA,” said McConnell, adding, “It’s an enormous grant of power, obviously, from a Republican Congress to a Democratic president, but that’s how much we believe in trade as an important part of America’s economy.”
No, the gope will do ANYTHING to keep either Trump or Cruz from getting the nomination. If that means that they, the gope needs to cheat and steal to force Trump/Cruz into a 3rd party, they will. It may just successfully hurt the 3rd party with all the “if you vote 3rd party, you are voting for a democrate” garbage.
All Trump has to do is use his bully-pulpit to declare the debates are a farce, no serious candidate should take part in the dog and pony show by the Uniparty, etc.
that's want the GOPe wants....to be the second party....don't worry....be happy, is their motto.
