If he got a swastika tatooed on his forehead would his poll numbers still go up?

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa -- Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he will not attend a debate scheduled for Thursday night in Des Moines, an unexpected twist just days before voters here launch the election process.
"I probably won't be doing the debate. I'm going to have something else in Iowa," he said during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
After the press conference, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski confirmed to The Washington Post that Trump would "definitely not" participate in Thursday's Fox News debate.
"He's definitely not participating in the Fox News debate," Lewandowski said. "His word is his bond."
He said Trump would remain in Iowa as planned and would instead host an event in the state to raise money for wounded warriors and other veterans groups.
Trump has made such threats before, but he said that the Fox News Channel, which is hosting the debate Thursday night, had gone too far by issuing press statements on Tuesday that he said mocked his concern about Megyn Kelly, one of the debate co-moderators.
"They're dealing with someone who's a little bit different. They can't toy with me like they toy with everybody else," he added.
When Trump saw the press release from Fox, "I said, 'Bye bye,'" he said.
Trump said his event on Thursday will benefit military veterans and service members wounded in war.

So now, all of their questions will be formatted like this:
“Donald Trump said ... what do you have to say about that?”
I’m sure not going to watch...
“Pathetic attempt by @foxnews to try and build up ratings for the #GOPDebate. Without me they’d have no ratings!
Fox got owned!”
For Trump’s sake the rating better go down significantly. Because if they don’t Trump is toast. He then becomes nothing but blather and the media can destroy him with that. Then they take out Cruz and Rubio becomes their guy.
Hello Hillary.
This is a preview of how a President Trump will conduct his business.
‘My way or the highway.
Not necessarily good.
This process is not about Donald. It’s about America. I am not surprised that Trump decided to evade answering questions about his love affair with liberal Democrats. The guy is an embarrassment.
Boy, if he skips the debate and then goes on to win Iowa, he will be powerful indeed. The media might start to realize that they don’t have the whip hand anymore.
Fox is likely to CANCEL the debate as Trump will be holding a charity event for Wounded Warriors...televised nationally on another network.

When the book on this election is written it’s going to need a title like “Breaking All the Rules”.
Have you honest even watched a debate. Most questions were about Trump but he didn’t have all the time personally. You are either not informed or disingenuous.
Sadly for you this would make him even more topic of discussion. And BTW Cruz actually has been slighted on speaking time at the debates.

Why are you posting here if you’re a Trump liberal?
And Trump is going to use the time to raise money for Wounded Warriors!!!
Still the Cruzers will bitch and mock,,what do the warriors mean to them anyway? What has Ted done for Vets?
Good news. Finally a debate worth watching!
Trump echoeing obama who rarely goes on media who challenges him(Fox News) and doesnt bow down and worship his greatness(Fox News)!!!
Trump is more like Maobama than his minions want to believe. I’m really going to miss his rambling non sequiturs on Thursday.
What’s the matter, widdle Donnie, can’t handle those meanie 105 pound journalists?
What?
Helping Wounded Vets is a BAD thing?
Oh wait,,Vets don’t matter, it’s all politics, right?
Yeh because helping Wounded Warriors is sooooo offensive and you can’t find issue substance anywhere else but the Fox debate...right?
Looks like I will be watching Blacklist and Sherlock Holmes after all.
