>>>> Trump walked away
True.
But if the organizers want people to pay attention to their ‘show’, they have to include Trump.
Trump was invited but he bowed out of the debate because he got his tightie whities in a wad over an editorial in the New Hampshire Union Leader that criticized him on his statement that McCain was not a war hero. Whether one agrees with that or not is another matter but I was more offended by the “I like people who don’t get captured – OK?” statement.
FWIW, the New Hampshire Union Leader isn’t the only sponsor of the debate.
What are they supposed to do, force him to attend? Or maybe they could roll out a special red carpet and give Trump a gold plated podium and have a former bikini clad Miss USA contestant moderate, just to entice and make Trump feel more welcomed to attend. : ) ,
