Although some Cruz supporters feign disinterest, fooling no one, it is a big deal for Iowan's! To a packed house, in a blue district, Trump receives his own jersey from members of the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Donald Trump announced Tuesday that he will not be attending Thursday's Republican presidential debate.
However, Trump's decision may be justified in light of an invitation from Fox News and Google to three carefully selected citizens, who are all prominent personalities on YouTube.
These three will be allowed to address the candidates directly at the debate. Two of them appear to have been chosen by Fox and Google because of their ethnicity and religion.
The first, Mark Watson, does not seem to have a dog in the fight against Trump.
The second individual, Dulce Candy, is an immigrant from Mexico, a former U.S. military servicewoman, and a Latina. Trump's commitment to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico could very well be a topic of her discussions with the candidates.
The third individual, Nabela Noor, is a Muslim American who is an outspoken critic of anyone who, like Trump, questions the motivations of Muslims, Muslim immigrants, Islam, and jihad. Noor, who reportedly equated Trump with Adolf Hitler, will most likely address Muslim-related issues with the candidates. Quite possibly, Noor will question Trump's plan to temporarily close U.S. immigration to Muslims. Noor states she uses her voice to combat what she perceives as negative stereotypes of Muslims, a phenomena she states is more prevalent.
Noor's comparison of Trump to Hitler seems to be misplaced. In fact, "the Muslim cleric who inspired Adolf Hitler with the idea of jihad was none other than the Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin Al-Husseini," writes David Bedein of Israel National News.
Bedein documented the influence of Al-Husseini on Hitler: "Indeed, in 1936, the Mufti welcomed Hitler's deputy, Adolf Eichmann, to his office at the Supreme Islamic Council based at the Palace Hotel in the center of Jerusalem, where Eichmann kept meticulous records of his meetings with the Mufti. The Palestinian Arab leader of that generation taught Eichmann about the philosophy of Jihad."
At the airports, I get as far away from the TV as possible. If a restaurant has CNN on. I say "How annoying, could you put something not so noxious on?"
“an invitation from Fox News and Google to three carefully selected citizens, who are all prominent personalities on YouTube.”
So why didn’t they invite Diamond and Silk?
I was checking The Five off and on and they were having a MELTDOWN. Boy, Trump has certainly brought out the real side of Fox news and not for the good. I use to like Greg Gutfeld but he is sure acting like a jerk.
Once again, Trump was right.
Did she bring her own Stripper Pole?

Iowa Hawkeye wrestlers and football players violate NCAA rules...I’m sure the citizens of Iowa will be very happy when they can’t play for any championships next year.
MUST-READ POST 71 BUMP
OK which GOP will cave like good dhimmis ???
Rubio, Jebbie, Kasich, Christie...
Cruz, Paul and Huckabee may all stand up to the Islamica and protest her offensive inquisition...
If so, congratulations Donald. If the ratings (and advertising revenue) are down on the debate without him (how can they not be down) then he will win on being able to set conditions on future debate appearances and not just over how much goes to wounded warrior. He will be able to pick and choose who is on panels of questioners.
Also by withdrawing he has done the rope-a-dope. Fox, Megan, the Latino and Muslim will be throwing verbal punches that will not have any effect.
finally, Trump in the close Iowa caucus if he looses can blame his not attending the debate and save face. Everyone knows he will win the New Hampshire primary. So saving face of a loss in Iowa isn't a big deal to his campaign, but gives him cover.
“This isn’t about ‘fact’ this about emotion.”
That’s a perfect summary of Trump supporters
FOX is on my s#!t list now.
Hope their debate ratings go into the toilet this week.
Ooops, wrong again ...
But nice to see you are so anxious to jump on the suppression of free speech bandwagon.
WTG, Patriot /
Dana always has her kneepads ready for whenever a Bush calls for her services.
Bet she is even doing 95-year-old Poppy Bush!
Is that you Megyn?
Fox did shorten the skirts on Outnumbered today. So they are fighting back.
“prominent personalities on YouTube”
That is the mother of all oxymorons!
Uh,... if Trump’s the target, why announce this TODAY, after Trump has dropped out?
Anyone but a cowardly prima Donald would relish the opportunity to pwn the crowd on this one.... you know... like Ted Cruz.
The Gut is manic/depressive.
In his next cycle, he’ll be pro-Trump.
