JUST IN: Donald Trump campaign manager confirms to @KFaulders Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's #GOPDebate

[navymom1]

Sort of separates the wheat from the shaft. And you are right, we need this in such a bad way.

[VideoDoctor]

I am thinking he will find a way to show up at the debate.

Too late. He's already scheduled an EVENT in Iowa to BOTH campaign while RAISING MONEY for Vets and Wounded Warriors.

Sounds like a man following his conscience and doing the RIGHT THING.

[Gator113]

Thanks for correcting me. There is much more to it than Kelly. I am watching his news conference and its very clear now.

Many conservatives have been calling for the Pubbies to do just this since George H.W. Bush. Now, because it’s Trump, some seem to have changed their minds.

THAT’S your answer to supporting incest and rape abortions.

what an utterly cowardly answer.

[Grampa Dave]

I think you're going to be surprised to see that he's still voted in the huge Drudge, Slate, and Time polls as the WINNER of the debate, even though not participating... and his popularity will climb even higher. Think I'm wrong? Watch and see. This is going to be the mind blower in the history of politics.

Looking at the big picture of everything that each candidate proposes, I look at the entire package. Are their proposals going to put us more in the hole or dig us out? Cruz and Rand’s tax plans seem to increase revenue and lower taxes for many. Ben Carson’s plan af 10% seems the most appealing, just not looked at the nuts and bolts in his plan yet. I think anything that takes the fangs out of the IRS and shinks government is where I stand. I think a flat tax with lower rates works.

I see Trump’s plans as increased taxes and growing government. He says he’s going to build a wall with a big revolving door and make Mexico pay for it. Empty words unless you’re sending troops in to collect. He also has stated many times he wants single payer healthcare and when called on it, he says government is going to cover everyone! More growing government. So I guess all those thousands of jobs he’s going to create will be government jobs. He also plans to increase ethanol subsidies with no way to pay for it. Pandering for votes.

Besides, Congress controls the purse strings. I don’t want anyone else to deal with the democrats. We can’t afford any further negotiations with their welfare programs.

Is it just me...............or is Trump gonna get endorsed by Nancy Reagan this weekend.

[VideoDoctor]

Thank you Davey. thank You!

[GeaugaRepublican]

The plant liberal you tubers are probably going to be so upset after having rehearsed their attack lines against Trump, or their pro Rino candidate lines for Bush, et al.

Guess who they get attack now? Is Ted ready? They will all go after Cruz now. No one to “draft behind” if Trump is not in the front taking all the heat.

Remember how everyone started taking the same positions that Trump staked out. Now those folks are left on the stage to defend those positions without Trump.

[uncitizen]

Really? Ive been out of the loop for a couple days. That would be a YUGE get.

[Grampa Dave]

Oh no! Sham Wow commercials instead?

But wait, call now and get not one but two for the price of one plus all most free shipping!

Time to Macy these Faux News scumbags!

[Grampa Dave]

You were missing from FR for 10 years and suddenly you reanimated and began posting non-stop. Did you eat a democrat's brain?

I posted about his second coming after a long hiatus.

Zombie Freeper for Cruz?

[JohnBovenmyer]

Iowa’s played against the refs many a time in the past. How many points do you think the Rats will steal in the election? You keep on playing and try to beat them by more than the margin of fraud. Shouldn’t a lifelong NYer understand that?

[caww]

It's not about the debate for Trump.....he's truly afraid he might loose Iowa....knows it's neck to neck...This is where a narcissist with Donald's temperament struggles as no other...the real fear of loosing.... Offering an event at the same time as the debate is to reassure 'himself' they will still be with him and not abandon him for another candidate. (In that he is like a child.)

[cornfedcowboy]

No, but Trump never seems to disappoint. I am not a Trump guy but he might come out of this one smelling like a rose.

[Grampa Dave]

Born losers make bad decisions, lose in life and blame others.

[PA Engineer]

Zombie Freeper for Cruz?

There are more than one. Free Republic is high profile in the new information age. We are a target for the sock puppets.

Help me out here. Not sure I know what you mean.

[caww]

You might very well be right.....I can see that certainly as a possibility. At any rate it would be fun to watch and see how they play it.
