Donald Trump isn't planning on ditching the next debate. In an interview with NH1 News, the real estate mogul was asked whether he planned to participate in the next Republican debate on Feb. 6, co-hosted by ABC News and IJReview and held at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.
"I think I will be, yeah," Trump said when asked if he will attend. "I look forward to it."
"I'm doing really well here," he added, taking the opportunity to plug his popularity in state polls. "I will be in New Hampshire doing the debates."
He also took a shot at his chief rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, whom he said got "very badly hurt" during Thursday night's debate.
Trump is up by nearly 20 percentage points in the RealClearPolitics average of New Hampshire polls.

Actually, the last one was very good (the no-Trump one) because it really gave a chance to size up the candidates. I think some of them should go away - Kasich, Paul and Carson, for example, and Fiorina should move up again - but the point is that the debates do give the voters a non-campaign appearance opportunity to see and hear the candidates.
The press and pollsters get into the “who won the debate” thing, but that’s not really what it’s all about.
So glad that the Prima Donald can work it into his schedule. But who knows? He is a rather unstable character, and if someone is nasty to him before then, Donald Ducked might get his little feelings hurt and bail out again. Or his numbers may go down and he gets relegated to the kiddie table.
The media is trying to push Trump for all its worth.
This last debate bumped off Cruz.
The MSM media wants to bump off Trump, as many debates as it takes.
“I think I will be....” is hardly a yes I will definitely be.
Headline is misleading (not your fault) but that ain’t nothing new
As usual they make it up as they go along
Because of the way the RNC has mangled the debate process it was a circus before trump ebbed said word one. Frankly I think Trump is better off (as are all the other candidates) without the ridiculous side shows that the RNC has offered.
No wonder voters are fed up and disgusted
Trump and Cruz will take each other out, and Boy Rubio will face Jezabel Clinton, a lamb to the slaughter. Democrats win. Freedom loses.
Yes, Cruz is done.
Ooh...ooh...ooh...so Fox News is bad, ABC is good!!! Got it. Must keep up with the current Trump dictates. (Sig Heil, ya all.)
Look at each debate as another slim opportunity for the GOP to bring Trump and Cruz down and elevate Jeb! and Rubio.
Trump was wise to avoid the Fox News debate. They were loaded for bear and all they could do was attack Cruz. Cruz should have bowed out, too, when he got wind of their pre-debate games. It’s obvious they are after Cruz and Trump.
I don’t think Cruz knew just how low Fox could go. They are beating MSNBC at the left wing dirt wrestling propaganda game. That is not a good thing for MSNBC and won’t work for Fox either.
The correct answer is 42.
Everybody knows that is why Democrats limited their debates to what? 3? All to protect Hillary from any snipper fire.

“You are not conservative when you take money from the Club For Growth and the open borders crowd, or when you give teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal aliens. You are not conservative when your spouse works for Goldman Sachs and the Council of Foreign Relations. You are not conservative when you support TPA and the Corker Amendment or when you chair a pac that fights for McConnels stubs in Mississippi. You are not conservative when you promote heretical religious beliefs such as Dominionism. “

“American doesn’t need another word-weaseling, lawyer politician with dubious citizenship, dubious eligibility, dubious loyalty, no business or executive experience, and very little respect for the Constitution, the law, FEC regulations and ethics.”
Enough debates already.
The debate of the Century will be Trump vs. Hillary. This assumes that Hillary’s donor bosses allow her to continue. Best. Election. Ever!
Hear hear
Forget the self destruction and get on with destroying the Rat Communist Party and their Maoist Witch Leader
