It just occurred to me ... the Trump haters keep spewing garbage about Trump being a 'show man'. I will watch Trump's WW program to see the "Really Big Shooo" (Ed's voice for the kids who don't understand). I still believe the viewer numbers will favor Trump ... by a lot. Fox using the same o team of mods is a mistake. But even worse for Fox is all the dims on C-D who claim to hate Fox, will not watch either.
Yep....and those still clinging to the old "rules" for candidate behavior and expecting Trump to play by them are being played as well.
Trump has wiped the slate clean of BS that took decades to pile to the sky and it is utterly fascinating to watch. It seems so simple....and yet that which he has already accomplished has been far out of the reach of any other political candidate in our lifetimes.
Trump hasn't "wiped the slate clean of BS" or "accomplished" anything until he actually wins. If he loses, then the Old Guard Establishment types will see that as vindication.
I have watched every single debate since the very first one was televised back on black and white TVs.
Yeah, sure you have.

Keep talking.
Americans love being called stupid.

But "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor," "If you like your health plan, you can keep your health plan", "Isis is the JV team," "There will be no lobbyists in my administration," "We are not red states or blue states, we are the United States" gets your slobbering vote. Hilarious.

I see you like to make things up and misquote people.
And by the way, who cares that he didn't know what the nuclear triad meant -- land-based vs. submarine-based vs. aircraft-based nuclear weapons.
I thought you libs were trying to get rid of all our nuclear weapons as well as our defense against nuclear weapons. LOL.

He doesn't want to waste his time with the blond bimbo. Why should he?

Sounds pretty presidential to me.
As opposed to Obama (Middle East falling apart, economy sucks, racial hatred and division, the Boy King using a selfie stick in the Oval Office...)

Indeed. The swing states are all that matters. There are about twelve of them.
But the talking heads wouldn't have much to talk about if they concentrated on those.
But...but.....but..... What's he going to do if she is mean to him?
Why won't Hillary go on Fox to get some hard-ball questions?

No.
Trump is too delicate to be President.
Hillary won't do a debate moderated by Fox.
So you are obviously WRONG.

I know. And just wait until the general election -- assuming Comey doesn't issue a report that accuses her of crimes. A big assumption.

Exactly.
Nobody wants to watch the bimbo Megyn Kelly when by watching Trump, they can support our veterans.
Murdoch is a scoundrel, and Trump knows it. He isn't going to let the little ankle biter, Megyn Kelly, go after him. That's just being smart. I was told Reagan did it (though I didn't remember), and we know how that turned out. He won BIG.
Chris Matthews reacts to news that Donald Trump will not appear at Thursday's FOX News debate, the last debate before the Iowa caucus.
"Who is going to watch a debate between the two Cuban guys?" Matthews said on Tuesday's edition of MSNBC's Hardball. "Who is going to watch a debate between Rubio, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. 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?"
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.
The blond woman wouldn't shut up, and kept interrupting.
Just like Megyn Kelly.
I'm glad the other guests laughed at her.
Trump is playing the media like Paganini playing a Stradivarius.
Sorry, libs....
Your fake hero Obama failed miserably, as I knew he would from the very beginning.
You talk about Trump being a joke, a fake, and a demagogue.
No, that's your amateur Boy King in the White House -- who didn't deserve to be elected dog catcher, much less President.
He's on his way out, clutching his undeserved Nobel Peace Prize.
With tail-coat Hillary (too afraid to appear even once on Fox News) following him to the trash heap of history.
Too bad, so sad.
You had your chance.
You blew it.
It is what it is.

Trump is smart to skip the debate.
