Trump threatens to skip CNN town hall
The Hill ^ | 3/29/16 | Ben Kamisar

Posted on 03/29/2016 7:12:02 AM PDT by justlittleoleme

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is threatening to skip CNN's town hall interview Tuesday night over the network's treatment of him.

"Wow, @CNN has nothing but my opponents on their shows," he wrote on Twitter. "Really one-sided and unfair reporting. Maybe I shouldn't do their town-hall tonight!"

Trump and rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich are scheduled to be interviewed by the network in Wisconsin, one week before the state's primary.

Trump has repeatedly threatened during his campaign to skip big events — and he's followed through at time.

But Trump stuffs their PC and people are glad someone finally has the guts to do so.”

Right, and he’s the only one with the guts to do it.

All show and no fight is like Muhamad Ali being all butterfly and no bee sting. - you can't build in major cities unless you know how to be diplomatic and tough at the same time.

If a Diplomatic and Tough Butterfly like Roy Cohn flapped his lips on Twitter but didn't show up at the debate, would he still make a credible sound?

Elect a coward...

Bullshit. Donald Trump has shown more courage than anyone else in the race, in the face of relentless character assassination. Any other candidate would have withered long ago. But you can't do that when there's a Revolution brewing.

Let me tell you what a coward is:

A coward is someone who can't answer a straight question about whether he's been faithful to his wife.

A coward is someone who submissively lets mommy jump in instead, to deflect attention to the big bad boogeyman because he can't simply state whether he has been unfaithful to his wife or not.

A coward is someone who plays the race card when they know for a fact that a person isn't racist.

A coward is someone who spends one sentence in a mild rebuke of a lawless mob, and then half a page deflecting the guilt while simultaneously launching a underhanded political attack at a moment when Party solidarity is called for.

Ted Cruz is a coward for hiding behind Carly's skirt. I've never seen anything weaker...

...Because continual attacks and hit pieces are just the same as free advertising. You should just be happy that your candidate been left almost totally unvetted compared to Trump. If the press went after him with the continual misrepresentations, lies, distortions, spin, and general negativity like they have Trump, he would have been out of the race ages ago.

>>It is a classic campaign tactic for the front runner to limit debates like this

Uhuh. Because why bother with that whole “Truth is great and will prevail” idea when it’s sooo, pre-millenial American history.

Besides, Generation XBox is much more interested in who’s winning American Idolatry and Dancing with the Perverts in between commercials for Beer, Erectile Dysfunction, Sleeping Pills, and Depends anyhow.

(This’d be the same audience of super geniuses, BTW, who elected Comrade Chairman Obumble - TWICE; so we obviously wouldn’t want the nudge the cage too hard... lest they actually wake up and start thinking instead of parroting!)

That’s not a threat.

That’s a comment.

thought cruz was skipping the debate over on MKSBC too, does that make him a coward.

I mean neither are in my book as we have so many debates and I and others are frigging sick of them.

They call trump a coward and then ignore their establishment guy cruz again for skipping MSNBC debate. Their hypocrisy is like the Obama cult.

I mean how many debates and the only reason the networks want this is for ratings. the only reason cruz wants this is because he is losing.

I have zero idea what genx has to do with your point - sorry. All I am saying is not holding extra debates or town halls or whatever is what leading candidates always resist and the candidates trailing always insist upon. We are seeing that right now with Hillary vs. Bernie

I think Trump plans to do the town hall he’s just keeping things stirred up.

“Truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate; errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them.”

--Thomas Jefferson

THAT was a big part what made America Great.

"Free arguement and DEBATE" - of ideas and current events.

For example, given the fact that under the “culture” of Vlad Putin...

[In April 2012, the Moscow authorities stated that they would be renovating the “Iron Felix” monument in full and put the statue on a list of monuments to be renovated, as well as officially designated it an object of cultural heritage.]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinsky

I’d like to hear all the candidates articulate and DEBATE their thoughts on what differentiated, and still differentiates, the USA from the USSR.

How would Trump feel, hypotheticaly, about an Iron Felix statue in the lobby of the spiffy tower he wants to build in Moscow?

You know, little things like those kinds of ideological differences (and the related consequences), that, once upon a time, were things American candidates actually discussed.

Is Generation XBox capable of that sort of mental "big head" activity - or is pondering the size of its hands, with the prodding of CNN, about the extent of the thinking that the "little head" (the one between Generation Xbox's legs that eats up all that internet bandwidth, which is something ELSE the candidates don't want to talk about) is able to muster?
