I think they all need to attend. They look like they are scared of him if they don’t. For one thing Donald is going to hitting hard on the economy and this is a great chance for the candidates to distinguish themselves on their vision for the future of America Vs Obama. The MSM has avoided the economy because they know how bad it makes ZerO-bama look. Secondly even if Trump is planning to run against them what better place to debate him and get one’s views heard and go head to head with The Donald. If they can’t handle Donald Trump they might well pack it in before they go up against the BO-Chicago machine.
Plus there will be a lot of people tuning in that don’t normally watch politics but because of the Donald Trump brand they will get a chance to hear the other candidates.
The Trump debate is a win-win for anyone attending. A lot of this bs talk about Trump debate is from a lot of people who fear him and his brand and it will hurt them if it turns out really good. Trump could end up setting a higher standard and force the lame stream media to have to start questioning their messiah BO-The-Zero for ratings in future debates.
90 % of American voters absolutely hate politics, politicians, elections, political journalists, political hacks, and that sick-in-the-pit-of-the-stomach feeling when the new National Debt Total is mentioned.
“The other half” of American voters are disgusted, to paraphrase the GREAT Yogi Berra.
The Donald is an icon brand in the world of pop-culture, entertainment, and glitterati.
My point is that “The Donald” has an audience that the politicians rarely reach. So yeah, stand on the stage, smile, and you may get a few votes.
I think the political candidates are acting like snobs - like they are above Trump and the Americans who find him entertaining.
But what really has the GOP angry? Trump asked the question that must never be asked in the media. Is Obammy constitutionally qualified to be in the White House?
It’s a bi-partisan treason thing.
