“Trump has reneged on a deal he made.”
Deal?
Nobody promised to attend the debates.
I suppose you think Reagan should’ve stayed in the talks with Soviets the time he walked, thereby letting them win.
I admit my premise about reneging could be wrong. The Reagan thing seems apples and oranges. Existential threats versus hurt feelings.
If Fox were smart, they would offer to let Trump submit the questions that he was allowed to be asked.
Reagan didn't refuse to talk with the Soviets. He stayed in the talks and it resulted in a win for the US.
He didn't walk out on the talks - he attended the scheduled meetings and stayed until their scheduled finish. He simply didn't cave during the meetings. He had the courage of his convictions and the confidence to stand up for them face to face with his adversary.
That's the difference between Reagan and Trump. Reagan didn't wuss out. Cruz has more in common with Reagan.
