Makes a whole lot of sense to me. These debate moderators have been downright terrible. How much worse could Trump be?
Sorry. Audio at LINK. Not clip.
Gotta agree, there.
Trump may actually be better. The MSM does not take kindly to encroachment upon their annointed territory.
Wish we could have debates without their sorry #$@%$es.
True actually! It is just why should Trump have any sway over any Republican contestants. He is trying to do that and that is wrong when he does it this way. He can object or support a candidate - he should not have anymore sway than that.
For some reason, he has become more influential (thank you MSM) than that and well, it’s not supported by the voters.
He can have his thing, but it should not be assumed to be detrimental to those that do not attend.
No kidding! Trump has to be better than 98% of the liberal hacks at those MSM debates. Why have any liberals involved in the Republican primary process? The Republican primary is for the Republican party not the nation as a whole.
Trump is a fraction of the threat to conservative discourse in a debate setting than the Ed Schultz types who wholly dominate today’s media elite.
It was the RINO establishment who dissed Trump, on the birth
certificate, and the conservative base who embraced his straight up approach to the facts on the table. Now, you have RINO ROMNEY, who is propped up by the RINO establishment, dissing Trump again by declining the debate invitation, certainly acting on orders from headquarters.
Maybe Trump has had enough, and though it is possible that he favored Romney, Trump may hand the RINO crowd their head and decide to go hard straight at them, by endorsing and showering cash upon Newt, or one of the other conservatives. Trump has been manhandled by the moderates and the establishment—the very people who own Romney. It is doubtful that he likes it very much.
Exactly. Even Miss America gets more time than that.
Score! Excellent point, Rick.
‘How much worse could Trump be?’
At least Trump doesn’t want Obama to win again.
I don’t even care for Trump, but I care even less for the Obama media robots.
Trump said, one of the things he will focus on is Red China, and he said it’s not covered, and they are taking our jobs, manipulating our currency, and China’s a huge reason why we are down.
It’s a good thing Trump is bringing this to the table.
I don’t like Trump and I don’t understand why anyone would.
I agree. Trump couldn’t possibly be as bad a moderator as the ones the DNC media keep sending out.
I’ve said several times that it was high time for the candidates to organize their own debates, with their own moderator asking the questions they want to debate. The whole purpose of the debate is to let the candidates discuss the questions they consider important. It is not an opportunity for some DNC hack to make his bones trying to debate the candidates himself.
They are fools if the continue to let the DNC media manage their debates.
He’s absolutely right about that. The Candidates showing up at the debates emceed by the likes of Wolf Blitzed and Brian Williams but NOT showing up for a debate moderated by “the Donald” is ridiculous. And to top it off, if they publicly humiliate him by not showing up, he’s VERY liable to run as an independent, which will screw over the Republicans big time, as far as the White House goes.
Like Maria Bartoroma and Jon Harwood were good!! They were AWFUL....They are AWFUL PEOPLE>>>>
What part about Obama, Pelosi, and Reid did he not get just 1 year ago when Trump supported Harry Reid?
In the hopes someone puts the Reid support question to Trump and makes him answer for being politically bipolar?
Trump on Fox yesterday morning admitting/slipping on one reason he’s having the debate “to let them go at each other”.
The candidates are probably afraid of the questions.
Trump pulls no punches.
