Iâm not really sure what will happen tonight. I truly hope that Donald Trump will keep his word and follow through on his decision to not attend the debate and hold a separate forum in Des Moines, but who knows. For now, C-Span says they will cover it.
Sometimes itâs best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. Itâs another opportunity for Trump to âteach us.â I guess weâll see. Hopefully we wonât get whipsawed all day long and that the Des Moines rally is on and FR people here will participate.
It seems pretty clear to me that Trump was tipped off about an unformatted ambush with other activist questioners, (who may not even be Americans), with their own agendas. Did they intend to pull a Jorge Ramos on him to disruptâmaybe to get him to walk off the stage or say something regrettable?
Whose idea was it in the first place to have these people ask questions? This is the kind of maneuver weâd expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but weâve sure learned something this past year, havenât we about this network, and the people weâve allowed in our homes day in and day out?
And who wrote that chicken bleep press release that mocked Trump with references to our enemies? Was it Ailes himself? I sense the good people like Jeanine Pirro and Brett Bair are pretty embarrassed this morning. They should all be.
The Fox network intent, as I see it, is more ominous and thinly cloaked and perhaps about other things. Megyn Kellyâs objective was to make her the center of attention over the candidates and her colleagues, but already Rupert Murdoch voices his desire to have Michael Bloomberg enter the race, and weâre hearing of some backdoor dealings of his, and Fox, that favors illegal immigration. I guess we will see what is fact and what is fiction eventually.
Make no mistake, immigration, legal and illegal over the past 25 years, has altered the cultural and political trajectory of our country. Who can say if this is good or bad? It really depends on who you are. I worry that ultimately it will affect our freedoms.
Ted Kennedy and other passive politicians from both sides, and presidents have got the politics wrong about immigration. It used to be that immigrants coming here from wherever, and their offspring proudly said they were âAmericansâ first. Now, Iâm not so sure.
Was that the political intent? To ultimately change the complexion of our nation and endanger our freedoms by pitting us against one another, and to have people coming here not to assimilate with us, but to defy us?
This will all pass, just like it did in 1980 when Ronald Reagan chose not to debate George Bush before the Iowa caucus, and maybe, before it does, it will turn the Iowa caucus on its ear with a surprise winner. I think all of us have seen through the rallies that Iowans are a special brand of people.
Those Iowans, that âusually get out and voteâ, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for âthe person who appears to have the best heart.â I think itâs Trump, they might think itâs Carson. I only hope that they do not take his refusal to debate as a personal affront to them.
All of our candidates are true patriots. Any one of them could lead our country better than the people who have led us these past eight, maybe 24 years. Whomever wins the nomination should have our support.
I pray that God gives each of these people the wisdom to do what is best for the people of our country. Can Fox say that the organization and spirit of their debate had that same intent? I truly doubt it.
Most people have their heads in the clouds. They cannot understand basic things. They get mixed up....Trump is smart to have accomplished what he has accomplished.
Also here so you can avoid the CNN.

That vet wrote an anti-George W. Bush book and is an active ‘dont ask, dont tell’ guy. Muted it.
STUMP FOR TRUMP!

@wpjenna: Donald Trump says heâs donating $1 million of his own money to veterans organizations. Carl Icahn has given $500K, he says.

Oh Yeah!!!!!!
Watch youtube feed.
Good to know!! GO TRUMP!
Iowans are confused by Diamond and Silk.
Well they seem to be applauding and cheering a lot for being confused...
Interviews on CNN right now
GOOD!
Diamond and Silk. Uh huh, that’s right. Donald flew them in for rally. Sweet.
Yes, they are past the initial shock.
So, at a rate of 1 in 500,000 that would mean that Trump is 1 of 6 or 7 within the U.S. having an I.Q. a of that level.
Seriously?
I’ve got both on.
Boost those ratings!
Why would you say that?
Agree and don’t forget Roger Ailes,said he sent out the snarky release!
Keep it posted. people come late.

He made his own luck. But yeah, he probably was considering bailing and had a plan B in the works.
