Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, in an interview published Wednesday, said it will “absolutely be incumbent” on Republican presidential candidates during the first primary debate to address the criminal charges former President Trump faces.

“It will absolutely be incumbent upon them to address [Trump’s criminal charges],” MacCall“Voters need to hear how they see it, and the option that they’re trying to provide. It’s very tricky territory for these candidates. They know that well,” she added. “It’s kind of a minefield.”um told “Vanity Fair.”

Debates aren’t mandatory. Eliminate them all.

If you were wondering why Fox was begging Trump to show up, this should leave no doubt why. They were planning an ambush, and I’d bet Christie was being coached ti be the attack dog.

I imagine every question will get a comment in response about Trump from at least one of the participants.

MacCallum is wrong about the Trump topic. If DJT is not at the debate, his name should not be mentioned during the debate. The candidates present should address POTUS platform issues. They should not discuss a man who is not present.

Hell, it’s a posse of single digit midgets, all pouring out of a never-trump clown car.

***********

As a Trump “through hell and high water” guy, the current collection of GOP dwarf candidates makes me extremely happy.

I won’t be watching their pygmy debates, but the Orange Elephant will be and he’ll have a big smirk on his face.

So you don’t want bad ratings for the GOP midget debates, you want horrible ratings for the GOP midget debates.

You're making the assumption that the debate is on the level. Its not. Newt Gingrich's statement from a day or two comes to mind:

"I think this is going to be a horrendous period and we just need to understand, the people who want to control America and dictate to the rest of us will break any law, lie about any topic, and manipulate you any way they can, and that includes a lot of the elite news media."

They’ll tee it up against Trump. That’s why the guy didn’t
bother to show up.

It will be good to hear how they explain their acceptance of corruption in the judicial system when it could benefit themselves and not the country or its people.

It is a tell-tale sign of their character. The whole world knows this is all election interference and a power grab.

We have some sorry candidates running.

It’s incumbent on Trump people to tell McCallum where she can incumbent and boycott them. Unless Trump decides to partake.Then I will watch with glee. NONE OF THESE YOKELS can catch Trump. Thier only hope they think is to throw in in jail an he will still win...and once the data that Space Force got from the election, he will be exonerated an lot of these yokels will go before tribunals an go to jail or gitmo or executed for treason!

Which really makes them look small when all they do is also talk about Trump. Pretty pathetic really.


No reason to watch FAUX otherwise, except for Gutfeld....

Mt bet none will speak a word of it—or if they do—they will say only “No one is above the Law” that is a bald faced lie (think Hunter Biden)

“Then all the other candidates should poll around 0-1%”

I’m puzzled that Trump has such a large lead in his own party but neck and neck when against Biden.
