JUST IN: Donald Trump campaign manager confirms to @KFaulders Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's #GOPDebate
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Oh come on now. Liberals have been treated that way around here for years.
Sounds like something Bernie Sanders would say.
Let me answer that, 10mountain, it has everything to do with the debate. Someone needs to ask Trump about his attempt to keep Reid and Pelosi in charge of the Congress. Yes I know Boehner’s a loser and Ryan has us worried, but that question should nonetheless be asked of Trump and I doubt CNN or ABC or anyone else is going to ask it. But Fox might. But now they won’t.
It just bothered me that the defense people have in their minds “oh, it was 20 or 30 years ago.” Trump’s had a lot of looney left ideas in the last decade. I want them explained by something more substantive than “hahaha, I got them to come to my wedding, hahaha.” A good place to ask him is at the (no-show) debate.
“...Cruz just told Levin...”
You know...
I wonder which one of them has the smaller tasselled loafer?
But they don’t devour their own. They circle the wagons.
This is a huge deal to FOX, and they are in a no=win position.
Best election ever in my voting life. Go Trump!
Dang, there goes my application! LOL

Trump captured news cycle for next 3 days, smothered Competitions’ message, diminished FNC debate, upended all game plans.
GENIUS

Donald Trump...
You magnificent bastard.
Thank you.
@NolteNC Right!! How pathetic is Cruz now accusing Trump of being afraid of Megyn Kelly. Setting up http://DonaldDuck.com
what a joke!
You may want to recheck that. Cruz told the truth.
Donald Trump Defends Planned Parenthood
Earlier Tuesday, Trump backed off his demand that Republicans shut down the government rather than give federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Republican leaders in and out of Congress support shutting down Planned Parenthood entirely and shifting funds to community women's health providers.
Trump reiterated on Fox that he opposes abortion, but thinks Planned Parenthood's other services ought to be given a second look.
I like a lot of the things Trump has said.
His comments about Pelosi and Reid are not one of them.
I think he could have said he was willing to work with moderate democrats
instead of naming Pelosi and Reid.
It wont affect my vote, but it could affect some others.
The GOP works with Pelosi and Reid now, do they not?
In fact, the GOP works with Obama.
That being said, I think the Fox statement was as bizarre as anything I've seen from Trump. And I don't think it is necessarily bad if Republicans are willing to walk away from debates they see as unfair (though I don't think this one really qualifies). We've been bending over it and taking it from the Candy Crowleys and Gwen Ifills for far too long, based on the perception that we "must" accept the debate terms proposed by that stupid Commission.
I don't mind a precedent being established of candidates exerting whatever power they have to challenge that.
I’ve known a Mensa or two in my lifetime. You don’t want to join that team. But to your point: Why don’t folks enjoy the Trumpless debate? After all, he won’t be sucking the oxygen out of the room, and all their favorite candidates will have room to maneuver toward the spotlight. Instead they trash the Donald? Sounds a lot like the WaPo advising voters as to all the reasons Cruz and Trump will lose to Hillary. Well, shucks, we should have thought of that and gone for Jeb, right?
I can’t wait for this primary to be over (what, couple days from now?) so we can all get on to bashing the Bern.
Now Fox has invited some Muslim anti Trump guy to ask questions. That is poisoning the pond IMO. Trump will be glad he took a pass.
Strategic blunder by team Trump. Show up and debate. Don’t run and hide just because it’s a moderator that you don’t like.
Seems petty and weak in my eyes
So which candidate really is? And by the way we’re not electing a spiritual leader, simply someone who will lead by following the Constitution.
That’s what primaries are for. Help take a party back from the Marxists. The caterwauling has only just begun.
