Looks like it's official, at least for now. There will be no empty podium left for The Donald tomorrow night:
"DAILY MAIL - No trace of Donald Trump will be left at Thursday night's debate as a Fox News spokesperson confirmed that an empty podium would not be left on stage for the boycotting billionaire. Trump, over issues he had with Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly, declared last night that he would not be attending the GOP debate taking place in Des Moines, just days before the Iowa caucuses. Instead, he'll hold a fundraiser across town for veterans and wounded warriors, which means rival Ted Cruz will get moved to the podium that is front and center.
In other words, if Trump doesn't change his mind soon, he won't just be able to walk on stage at the last minute.

...which truly speaks to the intelligence of “Trump supporters.”
I understand you are a Trump supporter, but, by all accounts, Cruz won every debate handily.
Trump is afraid to debate Cruz man to man. Cruz is very intelligent and organized, trump is bluster and bluff.
And I intend to imprint my mind with whatever history shows me.
Fox news interrogator Megyn Crowley will turn to attack questions for Ted. Good let him endure it for once. LOL!
I still think that Donald Trump will win all the online polls that include his name.

This will be fun to watch.
No, not really, it will be a demonstration of what Rush Limbaugh said on his show today. Words to the effect of “Donald Trump controls the media even when he is not on, and even when he is asleep!”
In solid state physics, ‘holes’ which are the absence of a election in a lattice structure, can ‘move’ just like real particles. Donald Trump will be a giant ‘hole’ on the debate stage tomorrow. :-)
More time for Rubio to go after Cruz.
Donald Trump promised us that this was going to be fun, and he is “Delivering the Goods”! I haven’t felt this good about the country since Niel Armstrong stepped on to the Moon!
That is the only way Cruz will get center stage...if Trump doesn’t show!
If you think Trump beat Cruz in debate, then fact and law means nothing to you, just emotion. Trump is your white Obama, all hope and change...
You will rue the day you let your gonads vote for you.
“if Trump doesn’t change his mind soon, he won’t just be able to walk on stage at the last minute.”
They just don’t get it, do they? This is pathetic, like a guy who thinks his girlfriend will who walked out is coming home.
By all accounts? By who’s account? The Cruz Echo Chamber?
Every single online poll anywhere, from any website, had Trump as the winner of the previous 5 debates.
And in the last debate? You have to be kidding me. Cruz was left standing there agape and clapping like a mentally challenged school child while Trump handed him his lunch.
You may “understand that I’m a Trump supporter”, but you better get yourself a reality check pronto. I’ve had my candidate do badly in the past and I try and make the best of it, but refusing to admit the truth unfolding before your very eyes is just plain delusional.
Sorry, not tuning in tomorrow night. I’ll watch it later on youtube.
I’ll also tune in to CNN at that time, mute it, and watch something on Netflix on my Kindle.
Whatever it takes to send a message to these oligarchs!
Once again, Trump is supporting Trump, and using vets as props. If Trump supports vets as much as you say, why doesn't he just use his own charitable foundation to raise and donate money for them? Here is a man that claims to be worth $10 billion, and yet over the last 20 years his foundation has given less than $7 million to charity, and most if not all of that was from donations made to the foundation by others. And none of the donations from the Trump Foundation that I could find went to any veterans organizations.
A lot of us will be watching.
Fixed it for you.
Not enough. Much like what will happen when the voting happens. A lot of you will vote for Cruz, but not enough.
“I still think that Donald Trump will win all the online polls that include his name.
I agree with you. I will vote for him. I think he already won.
The debate has been reduced to the Fox Republican Debate for Second Place.
