JUST IN: Donald Trump campaign manager confirms to @KFaulders Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's #GOPDebate
(Excerpt) Read more at twitter.com ...
Even if that was the case, (which I doubt), Trump better darn well know how to respond to the unexpected ‘from anyone’ if he thinks he’s got the stuff Presidents are made of....which he doesn’t and he knows he doesn’t.
Reagan’s OFFICIAL political heir, Rush, as always, won’t formally endorse. But he will try to nudge the wayward back on path. Rush is getting a hernia nudging Trump. The only Reagan family member remaining who’s opinion matters is Michael. Maureen, though more liberal than her brother, would have mattered if she were still here. Patti and Ron never mattered politically, even when Reagan lived. Nancy was his reservoir of strength, but never was political.
Everybody now knows that the new partner Google had a special surprise for the candidates, aimed particularly at Trump. Good move Trump and Fox News has a mole, IMHO.
Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate - including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.

No, this is what he does when he gets angry because someone didn’t kiss his behind.

IIRC, George Armstrong Custer was thought the best and boldest general, his age, in the army. And he had really great hair.
“Each debate sanctioned by the Standing Committee on Presidential Primary Debates shall be known as a “Sanctioned Debate.” Any presidential candidate who participates in any debate that is not a Sanctioned Debate shall not be eligible to participate in any further Sanctioned Debates.”

His campaign and Levin should have checked before the show.
He can dish it, but he can’t take it can he? Temper, Temper Mr Trump.
“Fox News publicly mocked Republican frontrunner Donald Trump Tuesday for arguing that Megyn Kelly shouldn’t be allowed to moderate the next GOP debate.
Trump released a video on social media early Tuesday morning in which he asked his supporters if he should bother showing up for the debate given that Kelly is scheduled to moderate.

“Megyn Kelly is really biased against me,” Trump said in the video. “She knows that. I know that. Everybody knows that. Do you really think she can be fair at a debate?”
But Fox seems to have had enough of Trump’s threats, and released a sarcastic response implying that Trump won’t always get to pick and choose who he deals with in life.
“We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings,” a Fox spokesperson said Tuesday afternoon.
Fox also made it clear that it won’t be ditching Kelly. The network’s chief called Trump’s bluff Tuesday, suggesting they have no problem if he wants to sit out the event.”

I think it’s pretty funny. I LOVE sarcasm.
No...it shouldn’t be a war with the media.....besides they’ve already been exposed plenty of times and everyone certainly knows there’s bias and a whole host of other warts they wear.
Trumps not the only Candidate who has spoken back to the media and he won’t be the last......the only way the media is affected if people stop watching and they aren’t going to do that no matter how the media acts or refuses to act.
Media is like any other corporation....who owns it gets the say...and you can be sure Fox considered advertiszers possible negative response in their planning. They ALWAYS go back to Fox...just like it’s viewers do.
Trump couldn’t squash him like a bug, like he claims to have with Cruz’s NY Values in the last debate? Heck the 911 card would actually be legit to play again against this guy. Maybe he should be afraid of blonds. He seems to have caught Hillary’s cold feet.
No wonder the born losers are upset that Trump refused to step into a bear trap!

Trump ejected but feel bad for the other candidates. Marco Rubio appear very prepared because he will get his questions in advance. Watch for Rubio to be prepared for the 3 Youtubers. It will happen.
The one on one challenge is for radio. Mark Levin reaches a much more educated and conservative audience than Fox News and that's where the major battle is being waged.
Bwahahahaha! He’s an egomaniac and probably a sociopath. I’m surprised with all the psychoanalysis of Obama that most Freepers don’t recognize the symptoms.
Cruz is so smart.
Why would he want to limit his skill set to just one person?
He gets center stage. And his opportunity to slay them all
with half his brain tied behind his back just to make it fair.
The opportunity all Cruz supporters have wanted!
Trump daughter-in-law is CBS producer.
Trump captured news cycle for next 3 days, smothered Competitors message, diminished FNC debate, up ended all game plans.
Cruz supporters expect that Cruz will win so it’s a non-issue.
LOL he has a very bad temper. I think I’ll go back and watch the debates again and see what minute twitches reveal the rise in blood pressure.
He can dish it, but he can’t take it can he? Temper, Temper Mr Trump.

I think it’s because most recognize this is just Trump playing with the media and using them to keep the focus on himself.
As another poster mentioned....they might just pit Rubio against Cruz....which would indeed be interesting to watch....I’d expect Christie to get in the mix as well.....Is Carson actually in it at all anymore?
