El Trumpo is once again grabbing the headlines and the spotlight by the throat with his announcement that he won't be attending the Fox News debate after he says he just couldn't take the "wiseguy" press statement they put out.
Well, ironically, someone else did that in 2012 and later dropped out of the race.
Here's what he had to say about that:

Donald J. Trump ✔ ‎@realDonaldTrump Michele Bachmann just dropped out of prez race--- when she didn't do the Newsmax debate it showed great disloyalty and people rejected her.

Yeah, you're right Donald, that was extremely disloyal!!! People should reject ANY candidate who refuses to do a debate!! The gall of Michele Bachmann!!!
Not a lot of courage!!

He wasn’t a candidate back then.
This is an absolutely brilliant move by Trump. It will DOMINATE the news cycle for at least 24 hours. Trump leads the media by their nose ring wherever he wants them to go. That is what he means when he says he’ll get along and work with Pelosi and democrats. It’s a textbook example of leadership. We haven’t seen this kind of leadership for so long many - even here on FR - don’t recognize it.
Methinks that the long predicted Trump crackup is beginning...
Oh so Trump should go to a debate with an openly bias mod, with a Muslim activists brought in for the sole purpose of ambushing him....because tweet from 2012?
That IS ironic. I didn’t know that.
Trump: GOOD.......
oh the irony of that man. Uh, did I say man? Just another man/child.
Mommy they don't play fair, they pick on me, make them stop.
He is like James Brown he is the hardest working man in politics I am amazed at the pace he is at
Methinks your hope that people are cheering for the press as much as Cruz supporters are, is going to set you up for a rude shock.
All these convenient ‘remembrances’ aren’t that. Google, Bing and whatever searches to get more ammo to continue the Hatred of Trump.
The fact is these purveyors of carping STILL wouldn’t vote for Trump regardless of how many debates there are. The fact that Hillary engineered three debates held on Saturday where no one would see them is irrelevant to them. Haters are still gonna hate. Haters are still gonna dig and dig and dig to make their stupid assed points nobody cares about.
Thus the term “cuckservative” exists.
The former tough guys, ready for a revolution, are instead crawling to the press to stop Trump, so that a weaker candidate can have a place in the sun....to get squashed.
Trump went to 6 debates and won them all. The DNC had 3 and they are down.
Awl your crying because you the Establishment to sabotage him don’t you?
LOL! S.M.H.
Hard to believe so many are so ignorant of what’s actually happening. Like blindered pack mules.
“The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on”.
What’s a “newsmax” debate?
It was a debate sponsored by Newsmax, the conservative publication. They also have their own T.V. network now.
That is so far from reality its astounding. This is Trump calling Fox’s bluff, and exposing the unintended consequences of their own behavior.
Trump leads the media by their nose rings wherever he wants them to go. That is leadership - like we haven’t see for so long we forgot what it looks like.
