I agree with you. These candidates will stand there allowing George Stephanopolous to shape America’s view of them but they won’t lower themselves to do a panel with Trump? STUPID. Trump has fans that are NOT Republicans. What are they afraid of? They should be taking every chance they get to stand before different audiences.
We've got Perry supporters and Bachmann supporters who won't see your point.
BTW, I like Bachmann, but her strategy this campaign cycle has been poor.
