“Trump tweeted that two unnamed GOP candidates contacted his campaign about joining his event tonight! LOL
Wow. If I had to guess, I would say Carson and Rubio.”
I am fairly certain that it won’t be Rubio - I suspect he wants to take on Cruz and Jeb. I’m thinking Carson wants to be at the debate, too.
Someone on another thread mentioned Huckabee and Santorum or Huckabee and Fiorina. I was just thinking about it. Any of the Kiddies Table debaters could still do their debate, do the room after with the pundits, and then go to Trump’s event. IIRC the 1st debate starts at 6 or 7 EST and Trummp’s event isn’t until 9, which is the same time the main debate starts. I believe that the debate and Trump’s event are both in Des Moines (don’t know the proximity of the venues, but it wouldn’t be like driving from Manhattan to Queens or NJ).
It’s not so much that these other candidates would want to show support for Trump, but more that they stand for Vets, too and get a little extra publicity (and perhaps auditioning for a VP or cabinet spot in a Trump admin). Just a thought.
I would hope that Trump would only allow one or the other, not both. If you do the debate, you don’t come here.
