Too late guys, Joey Scarborough already has his nose up there collecting Trump DNA so he can get the VP slot.
I hope Trump is as frugal with my money as he is with his own, once he's elected President.
An unreported story: Is Bush poisoning the well for future Republicans through his wastefulness of donors' contributions?
Trump did the right thing.
If I were Cruz, I would pull a Clint. I would drag an empty chair to the stage for folks to have a target.
Agree
The whole thing was a head-fake. There was no Megyn Kelly. That was a feint. Trump needed a dramatic reason, a theatrical reason, to walk out of the last debate. Megyn Kelly was the most convenient tool at his disposal to do so. And she worked perfectly. Because everyone gleefully volunteered to be suckered in by the head-fake, the rope-a-dope, and jump all over Trump with the joyous accusations of *afraid of a girl*, *afraid to debate*, and basically ignore the walk-away as the supreme act of *independent leadership* that it was.
An act that pulled Huckabee and Santorum, the previous two Iowa winners, into his corner (or at least into his arena) just days before the Iowa vote and, in an instance of incredible irony, at the same time as the main-table debate after they both came off the kiddie-table debate.
They move from the kiddie table to the central arena, an arena that makes the main debate something less than the kiddie debate!
Huckabee and Santorum get their revenge on the Big Boys and lend last-minute historical Iowa star power to Trump.
But as good as that is for Trump, even better is the one-on-one debate challenge from Cruz, which never would have occurred if Trump had slogged his way through another dreary #7 but now allowed him to say WITH THE FULL MEGAPHONE OF TOTAL MEDIA ATTENTION:
When a judge says you are eligible, then a one-on-one is ok.
Check and mate.
Masterful.
A separate question occurred to me about the event on "the other side of town" up there in Iowa tonight.
Do you think Glenn Beck will be noticeably in attendance at the debate tonight, to provide additional public support to his partner Ted Cruz?
Trump on CNN saying he got an apogy from Fox. Lol.
Go Trump
Trump was a no show.
