Trump to Hold Veteran Rally in Place of GOP Debate
WHO-TV ^ | 1/27/16 | Staff Writer

Posted on 01/28/2016 3:27:42 AM PST by BigEdLB

Instead of joining his GOP rivals for the Fox News debate on Thursday, Donald Trump will be hosting his own event in Des Moines that will benefit veterans.

Trump announced Tuesday that he will not participate the debate in Des Moines because of a feud with moderator Megyn Kelly, of Fox News.

Trump plans to hold his alternative event at Drake University’s Sheslow Auditorium. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the event starts at 8 p.m.

I started this thread because CNN looks to be backing down, reneging, and not covering it as much as they said. So this thread is to list the Cable Provider Channel numbers for OAN, CSPAN and other channels who may carry the event.

Verizon FIOS:
C-SPAN 1: 109 Per C-SPAN schedule
OAN 116, 616 (HD)

Everone please list ang get the word out

Trump was clear that the reason he quit the debate is the stupid press release by Ailes, taunting Trump.

It will interesting if CNN backs down. Trump has been talking them up as covering the event.

Good on him, he has supported veterans for decades! I’ll be watching.

If you don’t have cable or sat, on Roku you can pay $5/month to add OANN and then cancel it later.

FWIW, I emailed a suggestion to the Trump campaign (through the campaign home page) that somehow their campaign "donate" function be used during that event so that anyone who wants to contribute can do so by giving any money that comes in during that interval to Veterans.

What an excellent example it would be of what will happen when Trump and us Trumpsters are turning things around!

For years, he was indifferent to Veterans when not hostile. He gave more to Hillary, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood than to Veterans. Now, he's wrapping himself in Vets. I guess his time at boarding school gives him military credibility with some. "Now he wants to use them as political props."

Press release. Appears Trump knew it was Ailes. Megyn Kelly is a twit, and not worth being a factor impacting any decisions of import. Plus they bring a Islamist, a BLM person, and a computer geek Bernie supporter to ask questions as well?

Rupert Murdoch wants Bloomberg to run as an Independent? Sometimes jigsaw puzzles fit quite easily. It would be delicious if the other GOP candidates walk off en masse, not in support of Trump, but to make a statement for themselves.

He can say whatever he likes, but well all know what it's worth. He quit the debate because the polls are close in Iowa and he doesn't want to blow it by having to confront Cruz one-on-one.

That's a lot of name-calling in just one sentence.
