I would not show up.
Let Christie, Pence, Haley and Ronny duke it out.
Trump gains noting from this Faux Clown Car Circus.

How does one get a job as a “talking head” or “Policy expert” ??? You don’t even have to be right 50% of the time.
Why would Trump bother showing up? He will have to spend the entire time defending himself instead of talking about what policies he wants to put forward. He is the only one that will get ratings so he would only be helping out the other candidates if he shows up. Without Trump no one will watch the debate.

When your enemy is suggesting you do something, do the opposite!

Well since Karl has a 100% rate of being wrong about everything its best to always do the opposite of what he recommends.

He also works for Fox News and has a monetary stake in booking Trump because with out him on stage the ratings will stink.

The correct Neckerson* usage is:

"If I was him"

*"Red" Neckerson

Karl Rove says exactly like what we would expect from anyone being employed by FOX NEWS.

This should remove any lingering doubt in PDJT’s mind about whether he ought to participate in the first 2 Fox debates.

No need to subject himself to these unnecessary amBUSHES!!!

Trump shouldn’t go. Why should he show up and let all the five-percenters go after him. Let the field winnow itself down first.

Rove was the dude who decided to lie and say we didn’t find the uranium yellowcake while we were simultaneously shipping it to the US via Canada, lie and say we never found chemical weapons when several found us as IED’s and the like.
Don’t know what his “strategery” was, but that was completely retarded.
Annnnd, he’s a “yay illegals” rino bugchaser.

I’ve read some allegations about ol’ “Turd Blossom”. Didn’t he get a divorce a while back?

The debates are a waste of time. Trump is going to be the nominee.

How will the talking heads explain that the post debate polls showing Donald Trump won the debate, and he didn't show up.

It's because he wasn't there, yet that is all the other candidates talked about for 2 hours!

“I remember when Karl was labeled a genius around here”

I think the official term was “Rove, you magnificent bastard!”
