Donald Trump has not yet changed his mind.
The GOP presidential front-runner announced yesterday that he will not participate in tomorrow's Fox News debate.
"I'm not going to do the debate. I'm going to have something else in Iowa," Trump said yesterday.
Tomorrow's debate is the last one before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.
Instead of appearing on stage with his presidential competitors, Trump said he will host an event for veterans in Des Moines, Iowa, during the debate.
"He will...raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians," the Trump campaign said in a statement released Tuesday night.
"When Donald Trump goes to Des Moines and we start raising money for veterans and wounded warriors and we have multiples of millions of dollars raised for these people and the American people tune in because they want to support that and Fox goes back and say they should have had 24 million watching their debate and instead they got 1 million, it's a disservice to the American people," Trump"s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said today on "Good Morning America."

Indeed.
I bet you think it’s cute to make things up.
That is what Trump sounds like to me!!!
No...Trump knew that the reason for the ratings increase was him. He could walk and the ratings would go back to normal. Trump doesn’t have to debate anyone because he is the only one addressing issues the people care about like the border, how American’s got screwed by crooked trade deals, how the VA is screwing over veterans, etc. Americans who pay partial attention to all this are sick of it and Trump is the ONLY one who has displayed real leadership and took the arrows. No one except Ted Cruz has any cred IMO as they have no clue as to what Trump is talking about because they cannot fathom true change and leadership. Trump correctly points that out and is winning because of it...his challenge (to himself) is to make it happen. My money ($2400) is on him!
So Wrong...Trump has to show he can get tangible results in demonstrating his beliefs and future policies. Arguing with idiots proves nothing!
I hope he does track him down and help him. He’s already helped a vet by making calls for him to the VA.
