LIVE THREAD Donald Trump VETERANS Rally in Des Moines, Iowa Airing Jan 28 9:00pm EST on C-SPAN

I’m 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 it’s best to walk away from a bad deal and not look back. It’s another opportunity for Trump to “teach us.” I guess we’ll see. Hopefully we won’t 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 disrupt—maybe 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 we’d expect from a more left wing station, not Fox, but we’ve sure learned something this past year, haven’t we about this network, and the people we’ve 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 Kelly’s 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 we’re 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 “Americans” first. Now, I’m 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 “usually get out and vote”, are a microcosm of the people we used to be, before John Kennedy was killed. They usually vote in the end for “the person who appears to have the best heart.” I think it’s Trump, they might think it’s 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.

That’s is why parents wisely sent him to military school. To channel his energy and mind. He needed the discipline public school couldn’t give him.

That and he took a swing at music teacher who didn’t know the subject. DT knew the correct answer. He was angry that she was t knowledgeable

If they hadnt insisted on that tonight they may have got a lot of online viewers that don’t normally watch them..

CNN would have got high ratings online..

Did anyone hear Obama’s statement I think was this afternoon deriding politicians that offend muslims. It was being played on Anderson Cooper’s show and I think it was from Erin Burnett’s show. I think it was from today, but maybe it was earlier? If from today, one has to wonder if all of this with Fox was to be used in conjunction with the presidents statement, the CAIR questioner, yatta, yatta.

Quite Frankly, I bet bet for the main debate those youtubers will be down the drain as well as those questions. Unless the questions are used to get the candidates to back like seals in unison on how much they love Islam We shall see.

Jenna Johnson @wpjenna 59m59 minutes ago Trump invited a small group of reporters onto his jet tonight to reiterate that he is not doing the GOP debate.

Jenna Johnson @wpjenna 12m12 minutes ago

Donald Trump told reporters tonight he was "totally open" to changing his mind but time ran out and his own event took shape.

Jenna Johnson @wpjenna 15m15 minutes ago

More from interview: Donald Trump on Fox News: "They did apologize, by the way, which was very nice... but it was just too late to go back."

Anderson Cooper: “... As we wait on the Trump event and the everybody~but-Trump event.” He’s evenhanded in his show but you can tell he’s a secret Trump guy.

On the crazy vet debate , he let Jeffrey Lord out the guy as a Hillary supporter and gave him the last word to eviscerate him.

I got an email receipt following my donation amount—did not indicate the total amount of all donations.

I heard he donated and Carl Icahn as well as the $400,000 which is on website (so far).
