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.

Trump should pass and rightly so.
Good for Trump if accurate.
It’s becoming more clear that the GOPe is going to help Trump.
LOL!
I don’t see that at all. The gopE wants whoever they want and it ain’t Trump or Cruz.
Not complaining at all.
Frankly, I’m tired of debates but feel compelled to watch. I hope they just cancel it and give my time back.
Yep. He wins caucus states and oil states including the shale oil ones like Wyoming, Utah & New Mexico. I suspect if Trump were to win the nomination, all of those oil states would go to him almost immediately because of the DNC’s aversion to oil, shale oil, coal & keystone pipelines.
he’s afraid of Megyn I guess?
The conman will never build a wall nor deport anybody. Soon after the inauguration you will wonder, “But what about the wall and all these illegals.”
From my point of view, I can’t wait to check in with you trumpies 2 or 3 years from now.
While a couple of cruzbots are watching Fox that night every other news station will be covering Trumps speech you moron. When you grow up come back to FR to debate.
Too many debates. I didn’t watch the last two - and reading the summaries and seeing the highlights - I don’t feel like a missed anything. No one is saying anything new at this point.
You can still watch the losers in the debate game show jedi!
GOPe are going to force Cruz to apologize to Mitch McConnell this week or no more Superpac money.
But this is America, not a courtroom, and "We the People" have the answer. And our choice is Trump.
He’s complaining because without Trump no one will be watching.
I am sure that Megyn, Cruz, Kasich, and Romney can get big ratings in Utah without him... so it will be fine.
Seriously. WHY in hell is Fox doing yet another “debate”. This would make their 5th. AND they just friggen announce it out of thin air and expect everyone to drop everything at the very last second to accommodate them.
It is so stupid. Are they trying to position themselves as THE kingmakers? Jerks.
Have fun now that Rubio is gone and Trump has an engagement.
Ugh!
Oh, I hope he does skip the debate. I’ve been tweeting, emailing and FB to him/his campaign - no debate, let the Cubans talk to themselves. ;)
Actually, I think that is a good idea. Give it a rest.
I honestly think dirty tricks will happen at the RNC and that really bothers me.
Like I’ve said often enough I’m a Cruzzer from Texas and will vote Trump holding my nose and throwing up in the parking lot afterwards.
I will never vote Sanders or Clinton but if the GOPe instills someone different from 1 or 2, it’s game over.
It’s obvious Trump or Cruz will be #1 in delegates come the RNC.
Shenanigans will not be tolerated.
“It is so stupid. Are they trying to position themselves as THE kingmakers? Jerks.”
IMHO, it is what they have been doing all along. The whole premise of “progressivism” is that those who control the information flow are the kingmakers.
This debate was part of the Romney scheme.
