Agree 100%. Iowa voters have been through this more than Trump.

Poor logic. Polarizing figures often work magic at the "box office" (eg: Floyd Mayweather, Kanye West, Charlie Sheen), but they rarely make much of a dent in the political arena.

Hilarious Tweet by Ted Cruz. The fact of the matter is that Donald Trump is afraid of another debate with his chief rival before Monday. He isn't afraid of Fox or Megyn, he doesn't want to face Ted.

Ted Cruz ‏Tweets: Donald Trump, trembling at being questioned by Megyn Kelly, channels Monty Python:

Hahahahaha!!!

Fair enough. Nothing wrong with holding that opinion if it applies to all who don't want debate.

This makes Trump, Hillary, Sanders, & what's his name cowards.

Rest of the GOP field are not cowards.

Nah, he is in South Carolina today

Maybe he realized he is going to lose Iowa to Cruz, Trump is a sore loser and has attacked Iowans several times:

Quote:
Oct 22, 2015 - After a new poll showed him losing his lead in Iowa to Ben Carson, a thin- skinned Trump unleashes his fury. ... him losing: “Too much Monsanto in the corn creates issues in the brain”.
Donald Trump just tweeted what about Iowa corn?

His followers could care less. He could take a leak on them and they would think it was great.
  • But it isn't needed
  • It would not produce any desired result
  • It would reward Fox when they deserve punishment
  • Millions of us who support Trump want to see Fox punished
  • Fox has been the enemy of the people throughout this entire campaign
  • Did I mention that Fox deserves punishment?

I supported Ross Perot but when he backed out he lost some supporters . It didn't bother me but some it did't go well. Trump may come out better but I don' t like it after seeing what happened to Perot. Trump my have more cards than he is showing.

Please, Save as the BS. She thought she saw an opportunity to gain her reputation by trying to get Trump in a "Gotcha" moment and it blew up in her face. He was the one with the "Gotcha" moment and if you looked at her face and response, she realized exactly what had happened. Any fool also noticed she did not pull those kind of questions an anyone else either. She failed, she knew it, and she will wear that the rest of her days. He has effectively stopped her from ever becoming a Great anything. She went down in flames. So spin it any way you like.

Who cares? You know they've been fighting in this inter league fight over who is the hawkish guy or whatever. Who is going to watch that?"

Chris Matthews on Debate Without Trump: "Who Is Going To Watch A Debate Between Two Cuban Guys?" | Video | RealClearPolitics

I was watching CNN all night since they covered Trump live talking to the Press and with Sheriff Joe who endorsed Trump. There was this female Republican Strategist on Don Lemon's show, whose name I can't remember this morning (and who needs to learn how to modulate her voice - she sounds like Joy Behar) with Bob Beckel and 2 other guys, one who was a Trump supporter and the other who was a pragmatic lawyer. She said something like "CNN shouldn't cover the Trump event" and they all spontaneously laughed out loud at her in unison.

CNN or any other network is not allowed to cover the event (understandable) so the idea of Trump having an alternate event in the same time slot must have made the CNN business manager do cartwheels.

You all realize of course, that Trump's decision not to do the debate doesn't just hurt Fox News. The other candidates may be dreaming of 20 million eyeballs and ears on them but now may get half that amount listening to what they say. That's the real reason Cruz challenged Trump to a debate. He's got the most to lose. Trump should tell Cruz he's on to him.
Ah yes, the enlightened left. Chris Matthews, the same guy that said, "I forgot Barack Obama was black for an hour."

I don't think Cruz is all that worried about Trump's stunt.
