Donald Trump Demands $10 Million to Charities to Appear at CNN Debate

Variety ^

[right way right]

Trump of could sit it out and claim he is taking auditions for his apprentice. (VP) I’m Joking...sort of.

Indeed, why shoud CNN or any of these media conglomerates get a windfall?

When people complain about all of the money in politics, they should also be asking the question “where does all that money go?”

The simple answer with some caveats is the media. Why should they reap a windfall from turning a serious business like elecions into a circus and horserace?

[ballearthout]

I think they would do it in a heart beat if they could figure out a way to destroy him thereby. The GOPe could always reimburse their losses under the table. What’s 20 million to Jeb?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

He is three steps ahead of them and certainly appears to know what he is doing.

[Islander2]

In your mind, just who is driving the conversations we are having? If not Trump, who?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Coward would be the last word that would come to most peoples mind.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

LOL

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

You sound like a concern troll.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

He is punking the media and you cant see it.

[D-fendr]

just who is driving the conversations we are having?

The conversation is about Trump. Driven by Trump.

It's all about The Donald.

That's his shtick. You do recognize obvious megalomania, yes?

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Wow.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Is that you, JEB?

[D-fendr]

Yes, but he covers it in tacky carpet.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Agreed

[D-fendr]

I don’t think he’s punking anyone. He’s just doing what he’s always done.

[Rona Badger]

Ha!

RE:”He really is like Smaug the Magnificent, with the media playing the parts of dwarves after the Faux debacle.
They’re scared to death of him now. He should say to CNN,
“I want a foot rub from Christiana Amanpour, during the show.”

He is the media master.
He Often hits a cord with me : going after Grahamnesty , GWB in Iraq, birthright citizenship,....

He is funny, entertaining, a blast to watch, but he is a wildcard.
(wildcard: ”a person or thing whose influence is unpredictable or whose qualities are uncertain.”)

A lib one day, a conservative the next.

No, the Donald is showing how to leverages his strength to get what he wants. Imagine a President, committed to solving our immigration problems, building back our military strength, etc. who actually knows how to win? I understand that’s your worst nightmare, but the rest of us are looking forward to it.
