A week before Iowa.......I think he looking for a way to sabotage his campaign. He knows he'd be over his head as POTUS. He's tried everything....insult everyone, flip flop on issues, talk about shooting people and how gullible my people are.....and polls went up. This should be the ticket.....**** off Faux.

Right now they are yes-60% and 40% no.

I don't think he is trying to lose, he honestly thinks he can win this way because he's always done that. He's always gotten away with it and now he won't. Simple as that.

I'm not a Trump supporter, but I have to admire how he has completely played the media during this campaign. Expect to see the ratings for the next debate tumble, and the other candidates will have no good options. This may also be a warning shot to the GOP about an independent run.

Uhm... the taunts were over him threatening to skip the debates like a big old baby. He is a coward. Does he really think the president of the United States only deals with people who like him? Part of me thinks he's trying to sabatoge his own campaign.

Why do you need a debate if the person you are "debating" isn't even there? They will have to attack each other which is not a bad thing.

How many of these shows will we have. All these debates serves mostly as a way to a pissing contest.


There are real issues here, not just saying he said this about you, you said this. Look at all the debates, most of the time is spent pushing one against each other. Waste of time.


I say one debate a quarter is ok but when you have that many people on the stage, nothing good comes out of it. The media should probably do a maximum of 4 person each time. So divide the debates in 3 groups.


Otherwise a total waste.


Trump just wants the topic to be about him, everything should be about him. He puts himself first before anything. He probably sees that the moderator will either not give him the proper question or just make him look bad so his whole time would be spent defending himself (that he has a lot to do judging by his comments sometimes). So he probably will make a statement where he will say it's useless.

Trump has neither the brains nor the intestinal fortitude needed to be President.

Answering questions correctly, yet running the country straight into the ground. Yes, real golden.

If he can't handle Megyn Kelly, how is he going to handle Xi Jinping and Rouhani?
