Enjoy your faux news show!

Kind of funny how that works with the GOP establishment. Dick Cheney used a draft deferments to avoid Vietnam, but to party hacks Cheney is still a hero and an icon. Donald Trump used draft deferments for the same reason, and Trump (but not Cheney) is a coward.
I caught that as well. It’s stunning how statements can be thrown out there as fact. There are so many sides to every story, and we rarely get the truth.
Enjoy your faux news show!
I can’t find anything on the website to indicate they plan to cover it. I think Ann got misled somehow.
Plus there is a link in the following tweet:
In case you wanted to watch the @realDonaldTrump event tonight.. https://t.co/MGM58R2wMB— Scottie Nell Hughes (@scottienhughes) January 28, 2016
Thanks!
Trump being interviewed on CNN and says that Fox apologized.
Asked who at Fox apologized, he would not say.
That’s integrity.
You’re welcome, and coincidently it’s in the post just above yours also!
1. If Trump is genuinely interested in helping to fundraise a military charity like Wounded Warrior (which may be one of the worst on the basis of their spend/charity ratio, but that's another issue) why does he have to do it at the same as the debates, when the people supposedly most predisposed to donate to said charity are supposedly the same people who will be "distracted" by The Trump-less debate?
If he were concerned more about this charity and maximizing donations to it than with himself and his own "brand," then would / could it make a lot more sense to hold this charity event at another time? And did he ever hold the fundraising event for this (or similar) charity before he became a presidential candidate? So is it about the charity or is this really "all about me, Donald J. Trump" and the charity is just being used as another distraction from issues, just as his non-substantive trumpgasms-generating "low-energy nasty disgusting horrible disaster" personal insults that are so favored by his cult? The only thing missing is white Greek columns, but maybe it's still early in the season.
2. Trump keeps talking about "the ratings" for The Trump-less debate as if this is the whole point of these debates - to showcase Trump? He treats this a reality TV celebrity contest, not the debate of political ideas or actions. Which would be understandable coming from a TV celebrity and a "brand" maker fighting for TV "face time" among many other celebrities and reality TV "stars" but not from a serious presidential candidate, unless it's "i am not really a presidential candidate, I just play one on TV, and I have more TV time at the moment than George Clooney, Matt Damon or Kardashians"?
3. Regarding the money that Fox (or other network) will be supposedly getting from the debates — they run uninterrupted, networks are not running commercials during that time, so exactly what "money" are they getting based on debates ratings? Why would Trump-less debates get networks less money that Trumped-up debates?
Also, with today's technology, why can't RNC and DNC / Socialists simply stream the debates into the Vast Internet Space, with any "moderators" they want, cutting the networks out of this business altogether or allowing the networks to retransmit in real time? Everybody who is interested can watch, even if they don't have access to cable / satellite, and then nobody has to "lose money" (in Trump's vernacular, since he knows so much about it)...
Why are the Cruz supporters always prone to long posts. Can’t you make your point in one or two paragraphs and not a novelette?
I wouldn't know, I am not a Cruz supporter. Why are Trump supporters always trying to personally attack someone instead of answering pertinent questions and sticking to the issues?
