They're just putting stuff like this out to try to give cover for Trump not participating in the debates.
Seems the vast majority of people running or who say they will announce are stuck below 3%.
They have no chance.
Trump ranges from 45-55%.
I think Trump should invest his time elsewhere until the field kicks out these people almost no one is interested in.. then debate Rhonda. Or take the top 5, then to 4, then top 3.
Who cares what Christie says? Or Haley? Or Asa? Or others who have no chance. If they can't gather any more support, why should Trump appear on stage with them?
Why should Trump waste time even responding to them.
