A Republican National Committee conference call to discuss plans for the Oct. 28 GOP debate with top advisers to the presidential campaigns spiraled into chaos on Thursday afternoon as Donald Trump threatened to pull out of the debate if his demands for the format are not met.

On the call, according to three sources who were on the line, Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s campaign manager, said that if the debate does not include opening or closing statements and is longer than two hours total, including commercial breaks, the real estate mogul would have to reconsider his participation.

Trump could sit out the CNBC-cluster, comment in real time on Twitter, and WIN THE DEBATE.

I agree six in the debate is best.....let the others have a ‘kiddie table’ like the first debate!

If Trump doesn’t come MSNBC can kiss their Big Payday goodbye.

Trump is the one who drives the interest, not the others. So MSNBC will have to make adjustments and not pull the trick CNN did and add a third hour with little advance notice.

They probably want a third hour so they can charge $250,000 a minute, Lord I imagine regular ad rates there are about $2000 a minute on a good day.

My mistake on my post I thought it was MSNBC not CNBC.

I thought I heard yesterday Fox Business Channel was going to have one of the debates. At least if that is true then you have Stuart Varney, Lou Dobbs, and others that will ask more intelligent questions.

Why would Trump want to enter a cage with hostile liberal media surrounding him? Trump is a fast learner! No more opportunities to blood in the eyes Megyn Kelly.
