JUST IN: Donald Trump campaign manager confirms to @KFaulders Trump will "definitely not" participate in Thursday's #GOPDebate

Trump asked a twitter question in order to create some buzz.

The topic was whether or not he should appear at a silly debate. He was hyping a TV show.

It was not about foreign affairs or budget deals.

This is so wonderful. Fox deserves this total disaster. I speculate that trump talked to Roger and told him that My GYN had exposed herself as a partisan and a BITCH. Aisles said “NO!!” . Murdock will fire aisles TOMORROW ,in my opinion. This is 15 million viewers!! 50 million in advertising— maybe 200 million!! This is so much fun. Fox was soo unfair trying to bushwhack him with that BITCH!! SHE IS HISTORY. She is dumb as a post to be used by Karl ROVE like that.

Trump should send out a request to other candidates to also appear at this event....

As much as he trashed and insulted every other candidate? That's pretty damn funny.

I wonder if the Frank Luntz focus group will still read their prepared scripts like Donald was there.

As one who has conducted real focus groups for years. Putz is running a pr scam.

trump can take any heat

“Couldn’t take the heat so he ran out of the kitchen.”

He saw that the kitchen was knee-deep in raw sewage, and decided not to walk into it.

The debate is not for the benefit of the candidates, it's for the benefit of the PEOPLE. The people would like to see the debate, as there are still many undecideds. For him to not show up is fine. But to make an attempt to thwart the people of their last opportunity to see their candidates in action, by pulling attention grabbing shenanigans is not doing right by the people. It's acutely quite childish.

BINGO!

Trump is doing some last-minute maneuvering that involves a Weekend Surprise.

It is not the kelly-slut or faux news.

Something really BIG is afoot.

Mark my words.

[WENDLE]

I have a new slogan. WHO’S CRUZ ???

[angelcindy]

gee where did all these rinos come from

[kabar]

Trump has done absolutely nothing but open his big mouth andd call people names for weeks. Telling us all what a tough guy he is and how is going to solve all of our problems and now he complains because someone may not be kissing his behind. It’s hysterically funny.

It is not so funny for the jerks at Fox and the RNC. Just read the Fox press releases. Trump is pushing back. He is not going to grovel at the feet of a partisan media. The first Fox debate garnered 24 million viewers, a record that exceeded anyone's wildest dreams.

The MSM thinks that they are the ones who are the most important people at the debates. They believe that they call the shots. They usually do, but not this time.

The RNC has already dropped MSNBC and NR from the debates. Trump also forced a network to reduce one debate from three hours to two. I wish Mitt Romney had such balls when debating Obama and his aide, Candy Crowley. We need a new paradigm. The Dems have always controlled the debate process for their own advantage, especially in the primaries. Why allow the Dems and MSM to eviscerate our candidates, especially the front-runner?

[CatOwner]

How many hours of debates have we had?

In the true sense? Zero.

Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.

I just think a lot of people marvel that Trump will do what people like Rush have been telling conservatives to do for years.

[88keys]

I hope Putin is paying attention...

[dragnet2]

Pay back is a b---- $$

[pollywog]

sick!

[angelcindy]

dont u mean bitch...get it right

[StAnDeliver]

"Donald Trump is as saved as you are ,honey"

I deal with this every four years - the Religion Forum escapees & a few noobs pick a 3-Dimensional Loser like Sir Lard Huckabee, and I have fun kicking their ass...

[John W]

So, how is the success or failure of this measured?
