Trump himself, over the last two days, has convinced me why they don’t want this debate.
If the candidate respectfully declines, the Donald trashes them in the media.
I believe that most of them are no shows because they would appear to be owned by Trump.
Of course Trump could have said he will not run, but since he hasn’t, I don’t blame them for declining.
He was talking about how all the candidates, and particularly Bachmann had met with him asking for his endorsement. She apparently spoke with Trump for a couple of hours, and over and over again offered him the Vice President spot on her ticket if he would support her.
Veeeeery interesting problem for you isn't it?
