I wholeheartedly agree. If he had stuck to doing that he would have won Iowa in a walk. The bickering between him and Cruz help neither but I think in Iowa it hurt Donald more.
I don’t think his “bickering” with Cruz hurt, that is expected, but taking on Megan Kelly (why rehash that?), was stupid. He could said he didn’t want to do the debate and not even mention her name or as the reason. He should have focused his non presence on the Vets and said he wanted to do something positive and not argue politics in another boring media stooge debate.
