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.
Link?

Does this mean that he is sidestepping the Wounded Warrior Project graft?
Wonder if Eric will distribute it.
The Eric Trump foundation works mainly with chikdren diseases and Hispitals
I have Verizon too and used the channels you indicated but 616 is some hispanic channel and 116 is some other channel H6 or something. Anyway I did look all over the place and finally found it on channel 98 C-Span so at least I get to watch it. I am so grateful to you for replying to me because I know how I am and would have waited til 9 o’clock to search and would have missed most of it. Also I have it ready to DVR as well. Again thank you SOOOOOOO much for replying. You ave sincerely made my night.
I am too!
Huck is a much stronger candidate this go round. He and Santorum are both sound on many important issues.
They have both kept their noses clean through the process, laying low, and have displayed conduct becoming of Christian gentlemen and patriots.
I will have no problem seeing Trump being flanked on either side by these two men.
It’s a good team, For America.
Dearest nikos,
I predict a 2500 response thread ... Better catch a nap, lol
Thanks for the thread!
Go Trump!
Which Cspan ? Not listed on mine !
Which C-Spam is it? I get 3 different ones.
It says “Road to the White House C-Span” on the actual channel. Rand Paul is talking now. It is on channel 98 and 383 on my TV using Verizon.
“”I get 3 different ones.””
Numbers for the channels doesn’t help - C-SPAN or C-SPAN-2 or
C-SPAN-3???
Well rand is on just doesn’t say Road to WH in cable program
I hope that someone finds out which C-Spam soon, so I can reset the DVR.
