Donald Trump unexpectedly announced Friday that he would skip a major Republican gathering to be held later in the day in South Carolina due to an unidentified “significant business transaction.”
Trump was one of 11 GOP presidential candidates slated to speak at the Heritage Action Presidential Forum at an arena in Greenville. The event is co-sponsored by two of the biggest names in South Carolina GOP politics: Gov. Nikki Haley and former Sen. Jim DeMint.
Trump’s campaign said his undisclosed transaction “was expected to close Thursday” but a delay made him unable to attend. “He sends his regrets,” the campaign said in a statement.

I don’t blame him from bailing out since the devious Nikki Haley is involved.

Hmmmmm.
The Heritage Foundation is a huge part of right wing politics. I wonder if why Trump backed out? Was he asked to?
hmmmm.

He should have bailed on the really stupid CNN Debacle. They would have had a 50% deflation in their ratings. Sensibly, he should be making money for himself and not his detractors.

And I counter with an opinion of my own:
It will be a better forum without Trump distracting from Cruz.

After the FNC debacle, I thought so too. He doesn't need them anymore; they need him.

I wonder if why Trump backed out? Was he asked to? He's a businessman. He said he had a "significant business transaction" he has to deal with. I'll bet he has a significant business transaction he has to deal with.

I’m wondering if the Confederate flag rally outside of the venue is his real reasoning.
To: Resettozero
Exactly. Trump is letting Cruz have this one.

Unfortunately, you're both probably right.

Yes. He could held his own speech live on Youtube during the same time slot where he could have outlined his policies.
CNN’s ratings would have crashed!!!
To: Resettozero
Kasich and Huckabee declined the invitation. Gilmore, Pataki and Graham didn’t qualify.

For the thick-headed of us here, why "Unfortunately"?
