You’re right about one thing, TRUMP needs to sit on his lead. The media is coalescing around him and DRUDGE has a story up that the Establishment wants the lesser players to get out of the race, already.

TRUMP has proved in the polls that debate skills alone don’t do it for American voters after all.

FOX NEWS: 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, Fox News said in the statement, adding this gem. 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.

"If that's the case, this truly undecided voter is not impressed. Or perhaps negatively impressed."

Dude, the truly undecided voter is deciding whether to take the Broncos outright or to hedge with over.

They can and will talk about him in the debate. He had the opportunity to be there. But, expect Donald to turn the table on them and severely mock them for their attempted criticisms.

Are you kidding. I just think it’s funny that big bad Trump is afraid of the girl. He can dish it out but can’t take it.

Trump’s absence is brilliant. The bottom feeders will have to attach his main opponent, Cruz, and Cruz will have no one to snipe at but the losers.

“It also shows that if Trump doesn’t have cojones to handle Megyn Kelly”

LOL!

After years of complaining about candidates just going along with biased debate moderators. One FINALLY shows some balls, and what do we hear?

“Trump doesn’t have cojones”?

Give me a break!

-- Although IMO it does run the risk of looking frivolous. --

Yes, well, FoxNews thought so too, poking fun at his use of twitter and saying that he would appoint his twitter followers to his cabinet. IOW, FoxNews said his actions are, as you say, "looking frivolous." So he decided not to put up with it. People will make of it what they will. Some will say he's cutting his own throat, others will see it as decisive and looks like leadership. Some other network will give him airtime, and FoxNews loses nothing, they still get to have a debate. Win-win!

Absolutely awesome. In your face middle finger. (BTW, conservative candidates, see how easy it is in the future to pull out of debates in the GENERAL election if they aren’t going to be fair and interested in actually asking questions?)

On a side note, this could go either way for Cruz. IF the GOPe decides their only hope is to elevate him, and they all support him and praise him, it could help a lot.

But IF they-—as we are told here-—they really don’t like him (or they are just stooo-pid) then they would pile on the next “man on top” and all attack him.

It’s an a la carte menu for Trump if he wants to go.


Yeah, I think it’s a set up. Trump may still do the debate.

He could have the big rally helping vets before the debate... Maybe pick up another endorsement... Then roll over to the debate and make every other candidate look like the JV. And Rand is back on the stage. Bad, bad news for Cruz there.

It’s beautiful. It’s what Rush and other conservatives have been calling for for years: just say no to rigged debates. Love it. Trump once again is master of the game.
