Trump threatens to boycott presidential debates after DNC excludes Fox News
The Washington Times ^ | March 6, 2019 | Victor Morton

Posted on 03/06/2019 4:51:02 PM PST by jazusamo

President Trump threatened Wednesday not to participate in presidential debates sponsored by “fake news networks.”

Riffing off a decision by the Democratic National Committee that Fox News is ineligible to host 2020 presidential primary debates because of pro-Republican bias, Mr. Trump said he’d reciprocate.

“Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!” he wrote.

Debates are always rigged. And after 2016’s fraudulent primary activities by CNN, they should be shunned.

Who’s planning to challenge Trump? What debate? Who debated Obambi in 2012?

Mitt Romney and Kasich etc can pound sand. Is Ron Paul running again?

America's media/political system is too corrupt for standard debates. We need a computer asking a question, each candidate gets 1 min, then 30 sec each for follow up, then on to the next question.

Still don’t understand how the dems can make all the rules for the Presidential debates - they pick the moderators who are all liberals and this needs to STOP.

He’s talking about the general election, not the GOP primaries.

Good for you Mr. President. The last thing we need to endure are three so called presidential debates, each a 90 minute liefest by the RAT candidate giving us well rehearsed answers to questions given ahead of time by a supportive media in front of a stacked audience and a RAT supporting moderator like Fake Tapper or Wolf Blitzed!

This is totally hypocritical on the part of the Dems.

There's a graphic of how intertwined former Obama administration officials were with members of the media. You had one official married to someone at ABC. Another was the brother to someone at CBS. It would make actual practitioners of incest blush.

The debates are useless. Trump just needs his rallies along with Internet advertising and his Twitter feed.

Supposedly there is a debate commission. Last time round it was headed up by Mike McCurry aka Clinton’s lying scumbag. So that’s another ‘bipartisan’ body hopelessly biased and corrupt.

You bet.

This guy gets it instinctively.

Love it.

Earlier I suggested here that the RNC just lock-out all the Leftist media, another words simply take a pass on the debates.

I knew the Left would want the debates desperately hoping for a “moment” to wound Trump.

I hardly got the words posted on the forum, and a couple of hours later he had already addressed the issue.

They’ll be caving shortly.

Isn’t it great to have a guy who intuitively identifies with our ideals?

What a great time to be alive watching Trump in action.

"ineligible to host 2020 presidential primary debates because of pro-Republican bias"

More like rule 3 in regime change . . . . neutralize potential opposition

No CNN.
No Hitlery voters.
Just both legal teams get to weigh in on jury selection, debate moderators should be vetted by both sides.

Have a book telling us how marvy Obama is and it is slated for release on Jan 20 after the election? YOU ARE BIASED, public broadcasting crony b!tch.

I think we can do without presidential debates run by the mainstream media. Hardball questions for the republicans and softballs for the demonrats don’t help anyone but the demonrats.
