What Trump Plans to Do During Tommorrow's GOP Debate

by VERONICA STRACQUALURSI

Donald Trump has not yet changed his mind.

The GOP presidential front-runner announced yesterday that he will not participate in tomorrow's Fox News debate.

"I'm not going to do the debate. I'm going to have something else in Iowa," Trump said yesterday.

Tomorrow's debate is the last one before the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1.

Instead of appearing on stage with his presidential competitors, Trump said he will host an event for veterans in Des Moines, Iowa, during the debate.

"He will...raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians," the Trump campaign said in a statement released Tuesday night.

"When Donald Trump goes to Des Moines and we start raising money for veterans and wounded warriors and we have multiples of millions of dollars raised for these people and the American people tune in because they want to support that and Fox goes back and say they should have had 24 million watching their debate and instead they got 1 million, it's a disservice to the American people," Trump"s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said today on "Good Morning America."

Lewandowski also claimed this morning on MSNBC that other campaigns have "asked us proactively" to participate in the event and that "it's very possible" that other candidates could skip the debate as well. ...

Well Trump has now committed to a townhall for the wounded warriors and CNN is carrying it live so no going back now. Sucks to be Fox.

Trump and Ben Carson are both friends of St Jude and the Thomas family. Experience in running that type of events

It would be good for the uninitiated to see one of his Castro-like performances.

I have a lot of respect for St. Jude. That’d be a good match.

Some of the ‘undercard’ candidates might be willing to show up as well.

People forget Reagan was once a Dem and Hollyweed hated him too.. Party lines may blur the voters vision sometimes,, but the message delivered is what counts most.

History repeating itself..?

Over to you, Megyn, next question.

aaaand he should take HIS podium and HIS microphone from Fox Snooze stage with him, if not, the GOPers and moderators will have laugh fest with his empty podium.

Remember Clint Eastwood and the empty chair? It went viral.

Why did the RNC boot NR as one of the moderators in an upcoming debate? Why did the RNC terminate its relationship with MSNBC after its dismal performance as a moderator?

Question: Would any Rep candidate tolerate Candy Crowley being a moderator at a future debate?

Just for balance I'm going to throw in that the most childish comment on the thread, the one with the least redeeming glimmer of anything but spite is this one.

"TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME) intends to hide from the meanie Moderator and meanie Ted Cruz by running away from the debate and commiserating with CNN."

Once again Trump demonstrates that you don't have to let someone else define the game. You can draw outside the lines and be a winner. Wouldn't it be great if America could start winning by thinking outside the box?

What is not being reported is that Trump challenged Ailes to donate the extra money they made in the ratings from the first debate to the Wounded Warriors. They’re advertising rates for that time slot tripled. He wouldn’t, and sent megan whatever to trash him instead. That’s why he’s doing this and all you Trump haters can go stuff yourself. What other candidate is even mentioning how horrible the corrupt VA is treating our boys. Maybe you should actually listen to the Don for once.
