Fox announced that Trump has cancelled the 12/27/2011 debate. He is also reported as promising to run as an Independent if the GOP candidate is not to his liking.
What happened to Newt's noon announcement? Nothing being reported.
Oh who cares about the debate anyway. What Newt really needed to do was promise not to cheat on his wife, if he was elected. He did that, and I’m so proud of him. Isn’t everyone?
Oh wait, weren’t his wedding vows a promise too?
Oh well, let’s not dwell on that...
and just where’s Waldo? Has the case gone cold or was he found?
That part isn't news, he's been saying that for a while.
If Trump runs as an independent, then he will be willfully putting Obama in for a second term...he’ll be the 2012 Ross Perot.
All of his hoopla and talk at that point will be meaningless as his true colors and intentions will be revealed.
Nathan Deal cheerleads for Gingrich
Ok, fine, which candidates are not to his liking? Will we just have to select one, then read his press release to find out what’s in it?

This is confusing. In the headline, you say that Trump is dropping a possible independent run. Below, you say that he is promising to run as an independent if, etc. Which is it?
Looks like Newt is mainstream.

Divorce statistics in America for marriage
Marriage Divorce statistics (in percent)
First Marriage 45% to 50% marriages end in divorce
Second Marriage 60% to 67% marriages end in divorce
Third Marriage 70% to 73% marriages end in divorce
I think his comments were just a slam back at the candidates that dissed him. Newt played nice, so if Newt gets the nod, Trump will stay out.

You are correct. I knew Trumps ego was huge, surprised that he would put us in a position for an obama win.
Ooooooooooops.
I’ll try and get it corrected. Thx for the head’s up.
He is dropping the debate. He might run as Independent.
First of all, it depends on whose figures you use, how many first marriages wind up in divorce.
Second of all, we’re not really just addressing divorce are we.
Third of all, why would a guy make a promise in public not to cheat on his wife, when he’s already failed on that account twice before?
What good is a new promise? He’s already shown what his promise is worth, twice.
So much the free Santorum exposure.
On F&F this morning he announced that the debate would go on but that he would change the setting to be more like a conversation among friends.
He knows he can’t get the Republican nod, and thinks an end run may be the way to go. This reveals him to be non-presidential. And end run will wind up failing, as certainly as the sun will come up tomorrow.
Geez Trump, why not wear a pink tutu to the next press conference. It couldn’t be any more self-destructive.
Probably.
I liked a lot of what Trump had to say earlier this year, but at this point, he’s just a douche and a nuisance.
Thanks for the link - here’s the story.
Gov. Nathan Deal urged Georgians Tuesday to back Newt Gingrichs bid for president, holding a press conference Tuesday at the Capitol to tout dozens of new endorsements for the former House Speaker by officials statewide.
State Senate President Pro Tem Tommie Williams, R-Lyons, were among those endorsing the former House Speaker, as well as eight other senators, 25 house members and a slew of local city councilmen and school board members.
Gingrichs campaign said they had received more than 60 endorsements from Georgia officials in all, including those they had previously announced including five members of the Georgia Republican Congressional delegation.
Deal is chairman of Gingrich Republican campaign in Georgia. He made note Tuesday that the two served together in the U.S. House, and that he made his choice to back Gingrich in 2012 because he knew him personally and knew what kind of candidate he could be.
He is a man of ideas, Deal said. But he is also a man willing to listen to your ideas.
“So much the free Santorum exposure”
I agree. The debate would have helped Rick. He needs all the exposure he can get.
...and proceed to hand the election to Obama on a silver platter. Not that it wasn't planned that way in the first place. I'm entertained by the fealty some FReepers show to Trump, when time and again he proves what an arrogant, bloviating a**hole he is. Anyone NOW see his bullying nature coming to the fore????
