JUST IN: Donald Trump campaign manager confirms to @KFaulders Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's #GOPDebate
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
NOT!
No politician EVER would give his rival all that exposure and attention. Cruz will have to line up his own PR, not draft for publicity in the exhaust from Trump's race car.

But his spokesman blew it BIG TIME when he came out and said Trump is skipping the debate - "His word is his bond"
Holy crap - that guy has to be fired. To say something that outlandish, and for sure trump's biggest weakness, outloud???
If the other candidates don't focus on this statement and reasoning ONLY - they are idiots. His spokesman, just took Trump's carefully laid plans, and blew it up.
Kelly Megan just got schlonged!
Running to Levin again I see. Hey Mark endorse your baby.
Cruz hiding behind Levin’s skirt again. LOL.
There’s some thing to consider: inoculation in case Cruz edges Trump in Iowa. Trump wouldn’t have to blame it on missing the debate, the self-important media would.
Trump is not just taking on the construct of progressive ideology that has undermined the essence of American exceptionalism; Trump is not just exposing the immense number of faux-conservatives in media and political punditry; Trump is not just allowing us to see the scope of anti-American interest; no, he’s taking on the very selfish foundation they’ve used to sell out our country. Heck, he’s taking on all the “Decepticons†simultaneously.
In many ways Fox’s Roger Ailes and Republican Mitch McConnell carry the same ideological character trait, deception. For McConnell his deceptive ways allow him to retain power inside the DC construct. For Roger Ailes manipulation benefits his media dominance and political interests.
Neither McConnell nor Ailes can actually be trusted. However, we are only just beginning to understand the enormity and scope of the previously hidden betrayal.
It all boils down to a very familiar problem. Would you rather rid yourself of the schemer, manipulator and deceiver who claims to be your friend – and as a consequence face a visible enemy in their stead. Or do you chose to be associated within the camp of a person you can never fully trust.
As he’s going to be having a massive rally in Iowa to raise money for veterans, I have a feeling that they’ll love it.
Wish I were invited to that party! lol!
Cruz: Debate me! Debate me!
Trump: Don’t waste my time, you don’t have a chance you nasty man.
Trump has pulled ahead of all the losers, bye!
lol!
In a little over an hour this thread has generated over 700 posts. But this was a dumb move on DTs part.
(((Snort)))
Not at all proud of stating the obvious. You’ve now had to explain it away twice.
Yeh without Trump it will be a snoozefest with Rubio, Jeb and Cruz oh and Ksick. Oye Ve!
Trump is behaving in a wise and presidential manner by not being cowed into participating in a debate that he knows full well will be an ambush.
He is the leading candidate and will negotiate on his terms, not Roger Ailes’s.
You got it.
Trump has done more speeches, press interviews, news conferences, talk shows, late night shows, debates and taken more hostile BS questions from the lying MSM that all of them put together.
So there ya have it.
Knowing when to walk away from the table *is* a key to negotiations.
The ONLY way to win is to have nothing to lose. Never bluff.
I love this so much.
I attacked your maudlin pontifications. Deal with it.

And ultimately how will it be determined whether this was a wise political move?
That would be like Hillary's spokesman saying " She is the most energetic candidate out here" or " She has a history of being an open book, full of truthfulness"
That was a major mistake by the Trump spokesman.
But wouldn't you want Donald to have the chance to OWN Cruz?
