I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.

Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.” I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.

It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?

Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?

And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.

The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.

Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.

Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans” first. Now, I’m not so sure.

Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?

This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.

Those Iowans, that “usually get out and vote”, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.” I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.

All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.

I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.

Huck last week supported T on Cruz getting his qualifications in order. He made some valid points and may be the best to file suit. He ( as would the others) has standing

SORRY FOLKS!
My post #49 is wrong.

CSPAN at 9pm Eastern will be showing support to our Veterans by carrying Donald Trump’s event.

We watch One America News much the same as we used to watch Fox. OAN just stated that they are airing the Trump address
live. As an earlier poster stated OAN (One America News) is on 116 or 616 Verizon. Don’t know the numbers for other cable companies. If you haven’t seen Graham Ledger on OAN, he’s 3 times better than O’Reilly. Conservative and Entertaining.

[samtheman]

I dont have cable and I know I can watch this without cable but I am wondering, regarding the people in the US who HAVE cable... do most basic cable packages normally include C-Span?

Teb Kennedy was not passive:

Ted Kennedy’s Immigration Legacy — and why did he do it?

[LS]

Probably Sessions, Cruz, or Allen West.

[freepersup]

My understanding is that it's two opponents from the pool of GOP presidential primary candidates.

Maybe he's counting Fiorina as one of them. She offered to donate $2.5 million to vet. charities in order to participate in two events with Trump. The one tonight, and one on Sat.

[nikos1121]

Thanks for pointing that out as the structure of my sentence was wrong. Should read “Ted Kennedy, and passive republican congressman and presidents.....etc”

We reaping the politics gone wrong...Is it too late to turn this around? No!!!!!!

Yes

Good to know. Thanks.

I had my doubts about Trumps decision, but now I see he was correct. The "debate" was an ambush!

Of course. We're dealing with the lying corrupt MSM.

[Cboldt]

Huckabee CONFIRMED to be at Trump's event, not the FoxNews debate.

2:14 PM - 28 Jan 2016

Breaking news from @TheBrodyFile :@GovMikeHuckabee WILL be attending the @realDonaldTrump event tonight in Des Moines. #cbnnews

[Cboldt]

I have to correct that, Huckabee is doing BOTH, the debate, and the Trump event.

2:22 PM - 28 Jan 2016

After the #GOPDebate I'll join @realDonaldTrump in Des Moines to support our vets who've been abandoned by @BarackObama. Hope you join us! -- Gov. Mike Huckabee Verified account

[jokemoke]

I just contributed to Trump’s Veterans event scheduled for tonight. Ahhhh... I feel much better now.

[hoosiermama]

Good on Huck. He’s a decent man. Just not presidential material. He may serve the nation in an even greater waycaLf he chooses to follow up on elegbility issue

He like Bob Buckle still has friends in staff at FN.

Buckle said place was in two camps. Chaos

If you don’t have cable, you can probably watch it on the internet at cspan.org. Right Side News and Fox10 Phoenix normally also carries all of Trump’s events. I’m sure someone will post the links to those later.

[samtheman]

thanks
