Nolte: Donald Trump Schedules Fox News Town Hall Against CNN GOP Debate
Fox News ^ | 2 Jan 2024 | JOHN NOLTE

Posted on 01/02/2024 12:10:20 PM PST by conservative98

Former President Donald Trump and Fox News have scheduled an Iowa town hall event on the same date and at the same time (Wednesday, January 10, at 9:00 p.m. ET) as CNN’s upcoming Republican presidential debate.

For some insane reason, a few of the dummies running for the Republican presidential nomination have agreed to allow far-left CNN to host a debate in Iowa. File that under Why we lose.

But now, just five days before the all-important Iowa Caucus on Saturday, January 15, Trump will deliver a two-fer. This Fox News town hall will not only steal attention away from his rivals for the GOP nomination a mere five days before voting begins, but it will cut (hopefully deeply) into CNN’s ratings.

Man I hope that churlish hate doesn’t eat your insides away.

Well, maybe... OK; go ahead.

Trump is too chicken not only to debate, but he is too chicken to take questions from actual audience members, making it a pseudo town hall. Only invalids who can’t reach for the remote will be watching another tedious scripted Trump rerun where he blubbers on about the polls and lies about promising to do the stuff that he promised to do in 2016, but didn’t do.

Pretty much nailed it.

I think you are just reading it wrong. This is simple game strategy. When you are clobbering the competition you don’t need to take risks. Like a football or basketball team - if you are ahead by an insurmountable advantage you take your starting line off the field. Don’t risk injury.

If Trump were to go on that stage he would be savagely attacked mostly by Christie and probably Haley. DeSantis, a bit. And, he would give them an opportunity to shine if they happen to get a good retort in that would be played as soundbites on the news for 24 hours and go viral on social media. Trump is simply avoiding the risk of an unforced error. And if I am honest, he does make a few unforced errors from time to time. Usually he’s just trying to be funny but ends up giving his detractors fodder for social media and the news cycle.

Since none of the others will be the nominee and nobody will watch the debate, why the need to upstage them?

Because the polls are closer than you are being told, and the people of Iowa don’t like being taken for granted.

So, for one hour Fox News will be worth watching again.

Achievements? Like draining the swamp, locking her up, or securing the border?

Or achievements he actually accomplished-like handing the keys to our country to Fauci & China, not locking her up, unleashing a deadly vaccine, releasing Pfizer from liabilities, and releasing tons of violent felons with his cares act, which also paid for drop boxes and millions of mail in ballots being sent out?

I voted for Trump when the only alternative was Hillary and Biden, but now there is someone running that I truly support who is a true conservative who gets results without any of the headache inducing circus drama, preening, and bright and shiny objects blinking around him.

You will still have the same alternative, Biden.

The RNC says only Trump, DeSantis, and Haley qualified for the debate, and Trump has scheduled this town hall at the same time, so it looks like the debate will be DeSantis and Haley one on one.

Pitiful attempt to gaslight. You may fool the ignorant who think with slogans and ignore facts.
My guess is you have never bothered to look at the actual achievements of the Trump administration treaties, VA, armed forces, red tape elimination, trade deals and too many to list (hence the link).
As far as DeSantis as a true conservative that’s laughable. I think you do not know the meaning of the word conservative. It means more than some cynical, highly publicized, posturing. DeSantis record in congress does not support your assertion nor does his alignment with big business and globalism.

In 2024, you can vote for America and America first principles, or you can vote one of the also ran losers, or you can even vote dummycrat, if you like. But only one man stands for America. Perhaps you might be more suited for DU?

That one man is Ronaldus DeSantis, the greatest governor in America, and the only true conservative and faithful family man on the ballot.

He will win Iowa, and Trump will claim it was rigged and will of course still be too chicken to debate and defend his abysmal cowtowing to Covid Incorporated and all of its global Marxist overreaching tentacles.

Wow...they really must have upped your pay for being a troll. Pretty clear you can afford crack now.
Take another hit and even you may start to believe the prepared talking points you are paid to post.

If the propaganda media was actually interested in the public’s learning the positions of the candidates, they would not have “speeches” by the moderators. They would have topics with each candidate given a certain amount of time. Perhaps the candidates could ask each other questions as well.

The RNC is the leader of the party of collusion (Republicans) so they do nothing to improve the format of these so-called debates.

When Trump is the nominee I hope he has many one on one interactions with the Democrat’s nominee.

Freedom you’ve piqued my interest. If it was just Trump and his opponent with no moderator it would be in the interests of each to be on their better behavior. That’s something the left couldn’t handle.

Picture Gavin in that scenario. He wouldn’t let his opponent get a word in edgewise. Think of when he called the she-male a very nasty person.

His summation would be “You can’t handle the truth”. Heard it somewhere-noteworthy line.
