Yep! So would Huckabee!
The beauty of Trump’s strategy is that it sets up Ted Cruz as the guy to beat up on. Whoever is number 3 in Iowa is going to go after Cruz hard. Cruz can’t quit the debate now without making Trump look like a leader. Trump has rolled the dice and thinks that it’s a net positive for him in Iowa to not do this debate.
Want to bet that Drudge will include Trump’s name in his survey on who won?
And that you’ll go there and cast a voter for Trump, as will tens of thousands of other Trump supporters?
And that Trump will win going away?
If Trump does not show there will be so few viewers the rest of them might as well be out doing some last minute campaigning.
I my world it is clear- Trump has a JONES for Kelly.
Many dedicated television viewers with landlines and government incomes will be avoiding watching the debate.
Cruz couldn’t wait to jump on Trump’s coattails. Again.
Our ‘’consistent constitutional conservative’’ doesn’t know there’s a rule against this?
Or he AGAIN, AS USUAL, thinks the rules don’t apply to him. What’s with this guy thinking the rules- & even the laws, don’t apply to him? He thumbs his nose at them JUST LIKE 0bama.
How conservative! Cruz has NO intention of conserving the rules, conserving the Constitution, or restoring & conserving America.
0BAMA has given Cruz his ‘’precedent’’ & he is going to run with it.
Fwiw, I'm also not a Trump supporter, just an observer at this point.
Personally, I'm still working on whether or not I'll vote in the general election this time or skip it for the first time.
Had Trump not gotten in the race, I'd have no reason to pay attention as a voter, only as someone who wishes to survive whatever the voters decide.
There’s a nice consistent red line of states in middle-America going North starting with Texas, so I understand your pain as a middle-American.
I also know the contempt in which we are held by those with New York values.
‘that he’s thin-skinned and if he can’t stand up to Megyn Kelly, how can he stand up to world dictators?’
Just the opposite will happen. This will make him seem more powerful to stand up to dictators. It’s not just about Megan, it’s about f-ing the MSM.
This is like Donald’s claim that all the Muslims are calling him up and thank him for his position on temporary halt to Muslims visiting the USA. There are a dozen other examples of these unnamed, mysterious people proving Trump’s claims that he and his campaign have access to.
I’d say 2 hours of Vets speaking from the heart about their delays for care, bureaucratic snafus, and VA executive team building weekends in Vegas should embarass 0bama and launch Trump into the WH
Those not as high in the polls at the moment might find themselves gaining some. Rush this AM is speaking to this issue at the moment - still no endorsement of any; only explaining his understanding of why and how this might be happening. Very interesting assessment IMHO
Trump is being TRUMP and playing by TRUMP rules, ignoring the rules of RNC and media. Why would TRUMP make himself available to those who ridicule and so intensely dislike him? He is not about to self whip his back to please them and cause their pockets to bulge with cash.
If Megyn Kelly is obsessed with Trump because Trump wants her to be obsessed with Trump. Everything he does is designed to keep attention focused on him by everyone, all the time. Admittedly, its a very good media strategy, but Kelly can hardly be faulted by Trump for doing exactly what Trump wants her to do.
Is this MEEEEgyn Kelly related to ME AGAIN Kelly ?
cruz was always supposed to win Iowa.
so, the risk now, with trump skipping the final debate, is all on cruz.
if trump wins, or the iowageans pull another suprise and some second or third tier candidate wins, it will kill cruz's chances.
so low risk for trump, but if he still wins it, it's all over.
So, you are claiming Trump is a coward??? *ROFLMAO*
“But, dig this: A media organization is really not supposed to act as a house organ for a particular faction of a political party.”
Ding, ding, ding, we have a Winner! Fox, is buck naked on their BS about “fair and balanced.” It’s like Obola saying he would run the most “transparent administration in history.” Just having to say it, assures you that it ISN’T TRUE!
>>Had Trump not gotten in the race, I’d have no reason to pay attention as a voter, only as someone who wishes to survive whatever the voters decide.<<
Interesting. Absent Trump, which candidate do you come closest to agreeing with of the following:
Sanders, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, or ?
