Its an old bit but too many here seem to think in this fashion.

ILLUMINATI
(to the tune of “Eleanor Rigby”) updated 11-07-88
Steve Jackson, Joe Vail, Creede Lambard

Illuminati . . .
They put a thing made of tinfoil on top of my door . . .
What is it for?
Illuminati . . .
Shooting a ray at my cornflakes to make them turn green . . .
What does it mean?
The Illuminati . . . They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati . . . They’re everywhere I go.

Illuminati . . .
Doing unspeakable things in the night to a cow . . .
Where are they now?
Illuminati . . .
Sent an impostor in place of the Popsicle man . . .
What is their plan?
The Illuminati . . . They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati . . . They’re everywhere I go.

Illuminati . . .
They cancelled Star Trek, The Fonz, and My Mother, the Car . . .
Are they bizarre?
You can’t escape them;
Even if you take a plane to Nepal or Peru . . .
They’ll be there, too . . .
The Illuminati . . . They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati . . . They’re everywhere I go.

I know that they know all about me . . .
They know that I know all about them . . .

Illuminati . . .
Hide their assassins’ instructions in newspaper text . . .
Who will be next?
They’re all around us . . .
Underline every third word in the Times and you’ll see . . .
How can it be?
The Illuminati . . . They’re watching me, I know.
The Illuminati . . . They’re everywhere I go.

They’re in the attic and the cellar . . .
Bigger than Hunt or Rockefeller . . .

Illuminati . . .
Go through my garbage and count all the pop bottles there . . .
Why do they care?
They’re out to get me . . .
They’re fluoridating my water from their UFO . . .
What do they know?
The Illuminati . . . They’re everywhere, I see.
The Illuminati . . . And no one knows but me.

If he shows it will be because he partnered with FOX to drive up ratings....

Exactly. This is all a stunt. And a win-win for both Trump and Fox.

Trump will be there, count on it.

Fox should have immediately bumped the top contender on the undercard up to the main stage and welcomed Trump back only for a place at the "kiddie table".

I don’t understand the baby duck analogy, but it does not fit Trump IMO. As Trump has not addressed Cruz issues mentioned by you, we don’t know what he will say or do.

Agreed when a man that has never held office and only once ran for office on the another party ticket, who has routinely contributed to another party can be seen as a realistic choice, yes the system is broken.

You know... he may not be a baby duck (I think he is) ... but maybe he’s like an old bitty woman who goes around gossiping about people and refuses to engage with them one on one. .... Nah... he’s a baby duck.

A good plan would be to move the top player on the second tier and leave a the only spot open in the lower tier. Stating.. You said you would not be here we took you at your word...

It is true that Trump has always acted like the businessman that he was, operating in a state and city in which not contributing to democrats is an explicit death wish for one’s business. Also, completely aside from the point I was trying to make.

The media is the major player. The candidates are their pawns in most election cycles.

The voters are the psych experiment subjects.

This experiment has new variables, and they are not under the control of the media.

The more I read about this, as the story unfolds, the more I understand the method. He is refusing to talk to Roger Ailes about this, and will only talk to Rupert Murdock, Ailes boss. He is going to the top dog to discuss it. Meanwhile Ailes is trying to get Trumps Wife and Daughter to change is mind. This has relegated Ailes to being ineffective in his own organization. So, will Ailes save his job and capitulate, or defer to Murdock to solve his problems for him. The art of the deal is being taught to those who can see it happening. I will watch the result with interest. I will not watch the debate until resolution is made. Oh, I am a curious DUCK, so I will watch it after the fact, on YOUTUBE, but I will not give Fox the advertising bonus of readership if they don’t. The game is afoot.

He refused to walk into Fox's trap. Don't you understand the significance of that?

What trap? He's going to be asked hard questions, just like the other candidates.

The man is a child trapped in a man's body. When you understand that, his actions make sense and are predictable.

Megyn contradicted him and he is throwing a temper tantrum.

He'll be back on Thursday claiming victory.

It’s sad to see how so many good people on FR focus only on the bits/pieces of the bigger picture. They waste time squabbling over megyn who is just a tool being used as the big shiny object by Fox as they push their devious plans ahead. I stopped watching Fox around the time 2008 or so when they let some foreigner buy in - i knew they were shifting to UNAMERICAN/unconservative directions.

Trump sees the big picture - like he said - Fox was playing games.

Truth is posted in other articles today Fox debate “guests” planned and Fox being very for open boarder/immigration - heavy shift away from American values.

Trump non stop keeps exposing all behind the veil of media and govt.

your #45
because your thinking is lacking.

You’re reasoning by parties, and looking for party loyalty. (small detail thinking)

Trump is about USA loyalty and helping the country .

Everyone stuck in party fight mode is missing the boat.

Having a rabid Muslim on the panel who has already called Trump a Nazi.

Why bother with it?

Trump called their bluff. And won.

Insulting and inaccurate. I have seen glad handing narcissists before we have on in the oval office now.

Trump is about Trump and little else.

Interesting. So they’re basically inviting a militant protester.

I can’t see how Trump gains by participating.

Can’t wait to see how Cruz does without the Trump icebreaker leading the way. My hunch is he becomes invisible, and Rubio and Christie steal the show.
