GOP Candidates to Trump Debate: You’re Fired

Nobody is asking you to bite anything, just let him ask his questions.

[Steelfish]

Actually it’s a smart move. He is able to distinguish himself from the others. That is how a challenger must look- “presidential” and not be engaging in debates moderated by media-hungry hucksters.

[eyedigress]

Keep in mind this isn’t about Trump. It is about how the candidates answer a real estate moguls questions.

[mylife]

I think it is about Trump.

[eyedigress]

He loves being a player but his questions will be direct and brutal. Anybody that backs out is off my page. He is not a happy capitalist right now.

I’ll brace myself for the sky-rocketing Huntsman poll results. Thanks for the heads-up.

“The way I see it is Trump is going to school America on the difference between a business mogul vs the MSM giving a debate.”

This hits the nail right on the head and is why so many are hyper-ventilating about this. I see no problem with a debate hosted by Trump, just as I saw no problem with Huckabee hosting a debate, even though he’s rumored to be planning to back Romney in the future. What they’re afraid of with Trump is:

1. Trump pulling far better ratings that any of those MSM pukes could, EVEN two days after Christmas, when supposedly nobody is watching. and

2. That Trump will do a far better job than they do of moderating the debate objectively, asking better questions, bringing up issues that are important to more Americans, and giving each candidate fair and equal time to respond.

In general, I’m not a big Trump fan and yeah it’s partial intention is to boost his ego/ratings, but I see no reason why it’s any worse than other MSM outlets (whose main objective is seeing to it that Obama is re-elected by destroying our candidates) hosting a debate.

I don’t like him.

I don’t like Babaawa Waaha or Whoppie Goldberg or that Meridith Vierah either.

We may as well have Katie Couric do the debate.

[EDINVA]

Where did you hear the questions? Has Trump published them? Where are they available?

[eyedigress]

Thanks for your affirmation, now the hard part is the media to get it out. I am not certain where this debate is scheduled. Maybe ION.

[eyedigress]

Katie Couric is not a real estate mogul who hates what Obama is doing to our nation. Try Again.

[Yosemitest]

Uh that's LAME Stream Media, not MSM.
Look at the losing liberals cry! Hahahahahahahahahaha

Naw, she is just a gazillionaire shyster.

Don’t get me wrong, I think she sucks too.

[My Favorite Headache]

Perry and Bachmann can use all the help they can get...what about that tool of a governor from New Mexico? I am sure he could use some much needed face time.

I am shocked Ron Paul is passing up any camera time since he is always bitching about the lack of it in other debates. Who cares who is asking the questions?

[mylife]

Is Ion even available on the Net?

Pretty scary shit.

No thanks.

[eyedigress]

I gotta get to bed. I’ll find it and let you know. It should be good. Take Care

Gnight FRiend.

I consider myself to be ultra conservative (whatever that is these days), a lone wolf in a sea of liberal friends who outnumber me 5 to 1. We talk things trough but we never go below the surface... which is good because topics come and go quickly, and also good because I'm opening closed minds through pure common sense. But this isn't about me or the friends I love (yes, it is possible to love those who you just can't possibly understand no matter how you try!), this is about engaging those who otherwise watch almost nothing and think they understand everything. People will be engaged, people who normally would not give the GOP candidates the time of day, not a moment of their time. From that perspective, I am all for Trump and the "debate" and limited participation. If we are lucky it will be less of a sideshow and more of a negative for Obama. It's a new world with twitter, facebook, social media blah blah blah... if we get the numbers in terms of viewers and a few ideas in otherwise closed minds I say go for it and I'm delighted to see both Newt and Santorum in!

Challenge my thinking please, but don't pick on my writing... these are thoughts overflowing in my head/life and spilling out through my fingers!

Attending this so-called "Trump" debate is the nadir and debasement of presidential politics. Say what you want about Huntsman but he does have class to reject this forum.

AND, marching dutifully, in lock step and groveling before every Far Left Moonbat, (WHAT 15 TIMES?) so-called "Journ-0-Lists" who were more interested in scoring points from their liberal brethren; asked stoopid questions; were condescending and borderline contemptuous, was NOT "debasing" themselves?

Give me a F'N break, already!!!

Almost NONE of those moderators ever had a "Real" job, started (and grew a business) hired people, know 0 about economics, etc.

Say what you want about Trump, but I'm willing to BET he will ask more pertinent question "we" (I'm assuming you are?Conservatives are interested in than those coming from Liberal Moonbat TV anchors.
