Boy, if he skips the debate and then goes on to win Iowa, he will be powerful indeed. The media might start to realize that they don’t have the whip hand anymore.
No, it will mean that Trump has mastered the art of mind control.
This move is brilliant on several levels.
- This would have been what, the 42 Republican debate? They were getting repetitious.
- Trump just stole the news cycle, *again*!
- Trump bitch slapped the media. Something most Republican voters have been itching for someone in the GOP to do for the longest time.
- Trump instead goes to Iowa and raises funds for vets. That’s two scoops of positive press right there.
- Now the remaining candidates have to ask themselves; do I play along with Fox News and look like a submissive wimp, plus no one will be watching, or do I pull the plug on the debate too.
