Funny it looked like she quit, to me.

Just saying.

I’m betting that they find some way to distance themselves from this event, and that it gets quietly forgotten.

That's what I'm thinking.

Doesn't seem real bright to take part in a debate hosted by someone who has said he knows who he's endorsing and that he hasn't ruled out a 3rd party run.

Maybe Ron Paul should hold a debate too.

Trump is a ‘rat. Maybe not the typical commie kind frequently seen these daze, but a ‘rat none the less.

Newsmax was the sponsor,Trump was merely the M.C. for the debate... I think its a huge mistake to not go forward with it...but thats one of the things about the primary season we get to see decisions made...both good and bad and the consequences thereof...

I would rather see Donald Trump moderating/hosting a debate than the slack jawed left-liberal Soros-sockpuppets on the alphabet networks, drooling in their worship of Comrade 0bama and casting the Kenyan’s potential opponents in the worst possible light possible.

And I’m getting damn sick and tired of hearing this ‘kissing the ring’ crap, nobody is kissing anybody’s ‘ring’ by participating in a debate moderated by Trump, that ‘kissing the ring’ mee-mee is nothing but an attempt to denigrate the discussion and exchange of ideas AND the unavoidable criticism of the Failure-In-Chief.

Good on ya, Michele.

The Left has its own string-pulling billionaire... let’s not have one running a puppet show on this side of the aisle.

Seems pretty clear now that Bachmann is taking her instructions from Romney. What a shame.

That leaves Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum as the only ones who have said they will attend.

The only two willing to stand up to the MSM - who immediately attacked the evil the rich guy for being too rich, and having the nerve to flaunt it.

Bachmann is a coward. She let the liberal media scare her away.

This is why Newt is in the lead. He's the only one willing to take on both the democrats and their propaganda wing at the same time, something that's needed today more than any other time in American history.

In my opinion, people are willing to over look Newts baggage, and even some of his past policies, just to have one Republican who's strong enough to fight back for a change.

Michele Bachmann will NOT attend...Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, Ron Paul and Jon Huntsman have also declined.

I'm no fan of Trump. That said, all five of these candidates have attended debates attended by establishment media moderators who are worse than Trump.

Good for Santorum and Newt. Sad to see Michele go along with the other establishment candidates.

Apparently, she has something better to do one week before the caucuses than ring-kissing

Cooking Christmas dinner for 47 children takes a lot out of ya', you know.

Just . . . Damn.

I was so hoping for more profound insights like “One thing I would say is, when you take the 9-9-9 plan and turn it upside down, the devil is in the details”. We need that kind of focus and ringing articulation of conservative principles of ordered liberty. After all, what do the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence -really- say if you read them backwards, hmmmm? Insights like these will be missed.

The Donald has the balls to ask probing questions. I think they should all go with bells on and really get down into this socialist mess and explain why Obama is wrong for the American people.

RE :”Brody thinks that Bachmann might be working on an upset: The Brody File has said that Bachmann’s organizational strength among pastors and homeschoolers gives her the real shot at doing very well in Iowa. And let’s face it — if that’s the demographic she’s aiming to get into her corner, Bachmann won’t convince them by cavorting with Donald Trump, of all people. With Romney not terribly popular among social conservatives and Gingrich carrying a hefty amount of personal baggage in this area, Bachmann could well make some inroads in her native state by hewing to social-conservative positions and venues.

Bachmann not getting herself involved with this Jerry Springer like character (Trump) is a HUGE plus in my view.

Remember Trump's phony POTUS run and all the suckers that bought into it (and him) like rats following the leader off the cliff? What did your private investigators find that you claimed was conclusive Don??

Bachmann is my ideological favorite, even more pure than Sarah Palin by maybe 10-15%

And she is very nice to look at it.

But she just doesn’t have “it”.

Newt does.

Sarah does.

Obama does..for his side.

Magnus did. Cheney did but never got to fully use it given a bad luck health card.

FDR had it. Clinton had it..perversely. Lincoln had it..whoops my dead CSA kin just rolled over..lol...

George Washington had it as did Jefferson and Franklin.

Jim DeMint has it. Haley Barbour has it. I think Ryan does.

Hitler grotesquely had it as did stellar Winston Churchill.

It’s an intangible. It’s like the old EF Hutton commerical. When you speak, all heads turn and get quiet and listen because you project to folks that they should pay attention to you.

My own father had it..as a leader.

It’s just a thing. It’s like watching Lee Marvin in a war movie. It looks real because it is real....

When Michelle stood on that stage she never stood out and seemed diminished...not because she is not worthy but she lacked that intangible.

Newt with all his flaws will never appear ineffective, lost for words, without purpose or scared. That does help.

When Bachmann had her surge, most who would have been her supporters were quietly waiting for Sarah Palin. Now that Palin and Cain appear to be out, Bachmann ought to be the one re-capturing the social conservative vote, not Newt.

So, she could be a surprise the night of the Iowa caucuses. I can’t imagine evangelicals getting fired up for Newt or Mitt.

Now she doesn’t have to worry about Trump introducing her to the tune of “Lioness Bits.”

I wish they’d all boycott the rest of the debates; they’re nothing but fodder for Dems at this point.
