Insider: Trump to skip GOP debate for pro-Israel conference

Donald Trump will miss the final Republican presidential debate to address a major pro-Israel lobbying organization instead, according to an insider.

“Hearing that Trump secured a Monday night speaking slot at AIPAC conf. in D.C,” tweeted Noah Pollak, executive director of the Emergency Committee for Israel, referencing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

“Also happening that night: [the] Republican debate in Salt Lake City,” he added, alluding to the 13th GOP presidential contest on March 21.

Fox News announced on Monday that it is hosting next week’s contest in Salt Lake City -- its fourth event this presidential election. Trump remained non-committal later that evening when asked about his plans.

“Well, I don’t know,” he said on Fox News’s “On the Record” when asked if he would attend the contest. "I know nothing about it right now.

On the other hand, debates have been a challenge for him all along. The novelty factor has worn off, and he can’t really deliver substance.

But yet he's won every debate he participated in...Nice try, dreamer...

I am a bit disappointed Ohio went for Kasich tonight.

Perhaps you missed it...During his victory speech Kasich stated how everyone in his family is a Democrat; father, mother, brothers and sisters...And then he went on to thank the Democrats in the State who crossed over and gave him the ability to win the primary...

Kasich is a republican Democrat...

Diabolical. (Not as diabolical as Goldman Sachs.) Great idea. Stuffs another one of Teddy’s talking points.

I think you misunderstood my reply to someone else. I should have put in quotation marks what I was responding to.

I just said (my own words) basically that while Fox has their “debate” Trump will be at another event and all the other news stations will be covering that...I don’t think any reasonable person would say that is bitter...
