I would suggest that Rick Perry loves the country, as much or more than Donald Trump loves “The Donald.”
lost cause CW. Palin endorsed the debate. Therefore, it is a must attend event (that is the basis behind everyone here who is saying it is a bad thing for Perry not to attend even if they didn’t mention that tidbit)
I’m on the fence about whether or not I think Bachmann should attend. An issue she had in addition to Trump maybe still considering 3rd party, is that recently Trump has made comments that he is leaning towards a particular Republican. If this is the case, then what kind of bias would Trump have in a debate. Yes, the MSM gives special preferences to Romney in their debates, but in reality they hate all the contenders up there. If Trump is leaning towards Newt, what good does it do a Perry or Bachmann to show up there?
