Donald Trump’s Sideshow Debate (Self-respecting Republicans should avoid it)

I'm no supporter of Ron Paul but being our national 'eccentric' bloviating billionaire(?) should examine his own image.

That’s just silly.

Campaign stops are a mix of ‘show business’ and ‘showing off’.

Any public exposure is an opportunity for candidates to present their principles and platforms.

The judgement is not that they appear - but the substance of their presentations.

Letterman, Jimmy Fallon, SNL, etc., not even close!!!!

Hey, like him or hate him—lets see how he does! Don’t fall into the trap of just disliking Trump because he’s a Rich plutocrat. I think he is much more than a TV Guy. Maybe it will be a bad show—but no worse than the hit jobs done by the MSM. Lets see it—then condemn or praise the debate.

Dear National Review Editors:

There is no way I would miss this one! No way.

They are scared od Trump, Palin, Newt, Herman, Perry....the list goes on and on and on. All the left and LSM can do is destroy, I’m thinking that has to wear pretty thin at some point.

[Irish Eyes]

Should be interesting. Trump has had a one to one meeting with all these candidates. He will know their strength's and weaknesses and how to spotlight them.

I don’t dislike Trump at all, in fact I admire the man.
I have no problem with him moderating a debate.

It’s no different from the Republican candidates attending the lib media debates, and the lib media’s purpose is to destroy the Republican candidates.
