Forget ALL of the other candidates. Let’s just have a debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Even the Republican elite would be this stupid.
Trump will get all the media attention he wants. That's one of his strengths. He will be the story. If the GOP "elite" don't understand that now, well...there's no help for them.
A saying attributed to LBJ...I would much rather have someone inside the tent p!ssing out than someone outside the tent p!ssing in.
we need a cartoon of the Rove Gestapo
One has to wonder where Fox actually stands in this. We know what Murdoch’s opinion of Trump is and that Jeb is his boy.... but on the other hand, the viewership would drop through the floor if Trump was somehow excluded. Hmmmm....
Trump will buy time on the networks and run his own debates.
I’m not a Trump fan.
But the RINOs will shoot themselves in the foot for disallowing Trump at the debates.
Everyone will know the whole nomination process is FIXED, and will bail out of the party.
If they pull dirty tricks he will go 3rd Pty. Their best strategy is to ... compete and go head to head with him in the arena of ideas and politics and let the chips fall where they may.
Why not just ban the debates?
Ha...petulant fools....last man standing is....Trump.
...if they all quit the debates...Trump will be on alone and debate 9 empty chairs.
Shep Smith is on Fox right trying to discredit Trump on the border. Shep is all out of breath and hyperventilating.
Oh God let this be true! Please, please, please!
C’mon gop. Sign your own death warrant. That mean ol’ Donald is doesn’t deserve a debate. He’s not presidential. Kick him out of the debates. Do it now. I dare ya.

— Donald Trump says the chances that he will launch a third-party White House run will “absolutely” increase if the Republican National Committee is unfair to him during the 2016 primary season.
this was Donnies Plan all along!
Can’t you just see Trump buying an hour of TV time, at the same time the debate is on. Letting a question be asked and then he gives his answer. It would drive them up the wall and he’d get more viewers than the “official” debate does.
Like he’s going to let that happen. They have no grounds.
If they deny him, they’ll get 10% of Republicans tuning in.
I’d be interested in seeing all the people in the debate, but I’d not turn it on if they pulled this stunt.
The email reads:
Just thought it would be fair to give you all a reading on how things are in my small, but deep red Republican family.
Donald Trump, for all his arrogance and brash public demeanor, speaks the truth on just about every topic I have heard him speak.
If he is not the nominee, I think my wife and I will just stay home and watch the returns on election night.
Thanks to our spineless Congress, which at last count is in Republican hands, one of the greatest threats to our Republic that we have had in our 230+ history has been allowed free reign to systematically ‘transform’ our nation with absolutely no substantial opposition.
We have a Communist in the White House, and the Grand Old Party parties on, thinking that We the People are too stupid to notice.
If you think I am one of the ‘crazies’ that Mr. McCain has alluded to, you might want to do a deep dive into some of the surveys and polls that the professional politicians allow to shape their every move, and get educated on what people outside the swamp really think.
And I get closer and closer and closer to not voting once again for a stinking RINO candidate for president. Didn’t vote for the RINO from Taxsachuttus and will not vote for one in this case. Will simply skip the prez vote and move on down the ballot. Planning on skipping the fool that is my local congress rep, Mike Rogers of Alabama. Am as fed up with the fool as I am the RINOS.
That would be a mistake.
The Republicans are VERY good at banding together and coming up with a strategy to ensure they come out victorious when it comes to dealing with rogue Republicans. When it comes to fighting Democrats, foreign governments, lobbyists, etc... they always seem to find a way to miss victory by just a hair despite “trying their very hardest”.
Full disclosure: I don’t like Trump and wouldn’t vote for him but this is nuts.
