I feel that this is a move to punish Trump for not playing the game— We do not even know what the format will be. Look to see Mittens change his mind as the date gets closer. Still, the Fix might be in—Romney need not debate as he is selected to win. Newt will be trashed by the GOP and the MSm—Its Sarah Palin Time.
I believe there is some heavy handed pressure being applied right now, and it is being wielded out of sheer panic, by the establishment Republicans, and this Trump venue for a debate is the first show down for some reason. Romney is in complete debt to the establishment by whom he is owned lock, stock and barrel. He appears where they tell him to appear. Newt’s numbers have got to be crushed soon, or the myth that Mitt is the inevitable nominee can not be perpetrated on the voters. Rove’s knees are knocking over Newt’s rise.
You know, when all is said and done, that may have been her "unorthodox campaign" strategy all along. She's well known for having some of the best instincts in politics.
If the MSM is successful in derailing Newt, I think the calls for her to step into the race will become a roar to loud to ignore.
