Trump campaign to negotiate directly with TV networks on debate formats
Washington Post ^ | 11/02/2015 | Costa

Posted on 11/02/2015 12:49:47 PM PST by GIdget2004

nald Trump and his advisers have decided to work directly with television executives and take a lead role in negotiating the format and content of primary debates, which have become highly watched and crucial events in the 2016 race, according to Republicans familiar with their plans.

Trump plans to reject a joint letter to television network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns, the Republicans said.

The move by Trump, coming just hours after more than a dozen Republican strategists huddled in the Washington suburbs to craft a list of possible demands, effectively throttles an effort by the campaigns and the letter’s drafter, longtime GOP attorney Ben Ginsberg, to find consensus and work collectively to negotiate terms.

No he doesn’t....Trump is running for POTUS to save America!!!

Why is that so hard to understand? He has a multi-billion dollar Empire he runs, he is world known for what he does...he gets along with people, he does deals, he makes things better...

You like the way America is now? You like people working 2-3 jobs a day to put food on their tables because the illegal immigrants are taking food stamps, health care, social security and homes away from America? You like the way our Veterans that have fought for your freedoms are treated like third world citizens? You like that these illegal immigrants are raping, killing, and making our country a mess? You want to live and raise your children around that? I don’t and neither do the rest of us...

He is showing how corrupt and evil this government is, and has been since he announced to run for President, if they weren’t this corrupted, then you wouldn’t have anything to worry about would you?

And speaking of which, I don’t know who your voting for and I really don’t care but just what has your candidate done for you? Cruz is for amnesty and TTP; Bush is a Saudi backed candidate...you know the people that flew into our towers, pentagon and in PA on 9/11....Rubio isn’t anything, he doesn’t even show up for half of the votes on the Senate floor so what is he doing for his people in Fla?

You want to discredit Trump, that’s your business, but don’t do it when I know what these people are and how dirty and corrupt they are....you need to study more!!!

Have any individuals come forward? Perhaps a family in danger of losing everything, and Cruz stepped in to help them when no one else would?

I’m asking about people Cruz has gone out of his way to help, not as an offshoot of his job, but as one individual responding to another individual’s time of dire need.

So you have no idea what a Malignant Narcissist is.

What you are saying is true and in making a better deal Trump is garnering greater power and assuming the mantle of power. Watch how he moves across the chess board.

Go Trump!

Trump is the MSM’s darling.

That is his “Mantle of Power.”

His treatment at the end of the debate shows that he is their chosen one, and why we must shove him off with Jeb and Carly.

There are good and very, very poor individuals in every field. Anyone who equates Trump to a Malignant Narcissist is without a clue.

You did that, I didn’t.

BARF!

He wants to save the parts he needs for his own wealth building, at our expense.

Recorded TV footage can hardly be called spin.

You’re falling in a bottomless pit of denial.

‘This is typical Trump - “I am the only one that matters.” He lives his life that way and thinks he can do the same thing as president - “I will do what I want”. That is the same behavior as Obama.’

This is one of three posts in which you equate Trump to Obama. When you say Trump’s behavior is the same as that of a Malignant Narcissist, you are posting cluelessness.

You do realize don’t you that Ted Cruz was not a wealthy man.

His family lost their business and went bankrupt. He had to pay his way through college by working, loans and scholarships.

Whether or not Cruz has done good deeds beyond his legal pro-bono work I have no idea. He is a Christian man so I assume he has charity within him but usually Christians don’t blow their own horns about it.

If you are talking about financially helping people I would expect that a very wealthy man like Trump would be in a better position to do so than Ted Cruz. HOwever, maybe we can get their churches to disclose how much money they have given in the collection plates.

Are you serious about this charity *issing contest?
