I’m not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.†I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disrupt—maybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kelly’s objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and we’re hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were “Americans†first. Now, I’m not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that “usually get out and voteâ€, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.†I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
Allegedly.
Would be a whole lot better than the embarrassing... and I mean 100 gallon whiop @ss whip embarrassing of James Taylor doing You Got a Friend w that idiot John Kerry...
Trump is hip... everyone knows it...
He’s going to bring out the best of all of us... I don’t care if you genre is gansta rap or willie nelson...
We are going to see a renaissance with him...
Not with Cruz..the lonely one... or Rubio the sweating one... or Christie...the Chunkie one... or Jeb...who reminds me of a Gay waiter I used to know on Rush street, Chicago...was really good...btw at serving food...
Trump is the man for our times...We all know it...
ARe you in Iowa?!!!! Where exactly???
The were saying the line stretches almost to the debate.
Now showing the plane arriving at airport WOW. CNN is all in for Trump!
CNN is showing Trumps plan landing...BBBAAAHHHHAAAA
Lol! CNN just cut off Cruz campaign manager to show Trump’s plane landing.
We changed from Fox to OAN. Hubby even deleted Fox from his computer’s home page.
I agree 100 percent. Trump is the best candidate and Trump is the opposite of what we have in the White House now.
Trump is not a loser. Trump will do something and take action and not just talk.
Yea, you can hear them clanging when he walks— (I think they used to say that about Clark Gable)

Trump has now arrive by 757 pulling up on the tarmac.
Trump was doing the typical Ali vs Frazier hype to run up the event...which I am sure is a pure bore for him...He had no intentions of not showing...We know this. His son the day before chuckled and said he’d show...
Then the word got to him of what they were planning... and then the chicken sh*t press release from Ailes, himself... and then the rest....
Fox crapped in their nest....and things will never be the same...
Imagine... instead of our TVs on Fox we have them tuned to CNN...Never thought that would happen...
He is giving America a demonstration how he will negotiate with Iran/China/Mexico and the rest. Is there any question who won this deal? CNN is making out like a bandit and FOX is sending money back all over a blonde bimbo.
When you see a bad deal, you walk away.
LOL. CNN has gone all Trump.
Showing lines outside fundraising venue.
Showing Trumps plane landing.
I’m loving it.
It’s like a feeding frenzy going on.
Over $300,000 raised so far......
Do you have the link?
I fear for this country.
Trump IS what we have in the White House - a petulant man-child who, if elected, will have gotten there not on policy, character, or record, but on empty promises and the cult of personality. He can’t even do nearly all of what he says he wants to do, unless he rules by edict as the current occupant does.
There’s also the fact that he is not conservative. There is little to nothing in his past, word or deed, that says he’s a conservative. On the contrary, there’s plenty, word AND deed, that says he’s a liberal.
You’ve been had. That pulling you feel is the bait you’ve swallowed hook, line, and sinker.
That was so funny when CNN cut Cruz’s man off.
