Thank you for this post. The fact that Trump is skipping this debate for his principles is not evidence of cowardice, it is evidence of his massively huge balls. No candidate in history would have the balls to skip a pre Iowa debate.
People are so pussified now, that when they see someone breaking the rules and acting like a REAL AMERICAN, they need a fainting couch. Cruz is not riding Trumps coattails anymore, so he resorts to the simpleton ‘Trump is scared of the girl’ attack... hope Cruz does ok against the muslim and the bimbo in the debate....
LOL !!
No way that it will happen that way.
They will go for viewer ratings just like Trump does.
At a minimum they will ask the candidates to defend themselves against Trumps mud.
Look how well it has worked for TRump
Exactly why was a seventh Republican "debate" needed before the first primary vote is cast when the Democrats have only had five softball pageants that were scheduled so as to minimize exposure?
Trump is correct that it's been a combination of ratings greed and a transparent game of "gotcha" that everyone is tired of. Fox is now left with a shell of a debate that will only attract the same sort of rubbernecking interest that roadside collisions garner.
Nobody is going to remember or care what the rest of them say and the only real topic of conversation will be reactions to Trump's move, which keeps him front-and-center in the media (on his terms) whether they like it or not. Trump has simply shut out the news cycle between now and Monday with this brilliant and bold move.
I was converted from the clutches of Democrat Party influence, back in darker days, by the wisdom and punditry of the master.
Free at last
Free at last
Thank God Almighty
I'm free at last
I predict the ratings are going to be huge in the beginning by people curious to see if trump has the balls to not show up.
Once it’s seen he’s not there, the ratings will drop like a rock.
The rest of the GOP candidates need to haul ass too. The FOX Muzzie machine is setting them up.
Exactly, Trump is a man of action. We don’t need anymore career politicians.
Every candidate there except for Cruz and Trump... is going to flip when Florida comes up and endorse Bush...I wouldn't be surprised if Cruz does as well...
They will bash Trump endlessly during the debate, but nobody will be watching! Just like the dem debates, it will be like a tree falling in the woods.
If it's between a stinkin' muslim and an American, it's no question where I fall. For the American every time!
Fox was planning to cut off Trumps head!!!
Let me fantasize for about 5 goshdern minutes, would ya? I have a good idea about Cruz but I would really like to hear more from the others. Such an opportunity.
Bush and the mailman’s son should go protest with Trump.
The more Trump plays up the Fox News Saudi ownership, the more Fox loses with this move.
This debate now is a CSPAN live camera in the well of the Senate debating budgeting for some alphabet line item. Great job Meg.
I think you will get that as long as Trump doesn't show up.
I agree with you. A debate without the Jerry Springer freak show.
Cruz attacked Trump first...We all took a deep breath and said, oh,oh...Cruz just stepped in it...We knew Trump wouldn't let it stand...That's when the birther thing came out...
Spot on.
That’s exactly what it was...and what Trump did to out’fox’ them.
Exactly. What is wrong with some FReepers? Trump is taking the high, risky, difficult road that I have been wishing R candidates to take for the last three elections. STOP MEEKLY SHOWING UP TO GOTCHA DEBATES RUN BY PEOPLE WHO WOULD NEVER VOTE R.
What kind of FReepers actually think this is cowardice? Insane. This, to me, is one of my bucket list dreams come true. One of my greatest desires for us is to be free of the media control.
