Donald Trump Not Going to Debate

tres borrachos said:
I've seen it being sold as "taking a stand" by his supporters and by people who for various reasons want him to be the nominee. And people are all of a sudden worked up about Fox bullying him, which strikes me as ironic in just so many ways.

I see it as petty, obnoxious, non-executive behavior, personally.

It is petty, obnoxious, non-executive behavior. But when has Trump behaved any differently?

:lamo:spin::fueltofir:

Trump made Fox News and the GOP look like fools. Cruz challenge one on one is juvenile school yard crap. Trump can coast to the nomination, he can even skip the rest of the debates. He doesnt have to kow tow to Megan, a "journalist" and calling her that is REALLY stretching it. Shes a paid attack pit bull.Trump is now in position to dictate his future to accept the nomination. The Thursday debate will be a stupid empty affair now.

In total and complete seriousness, Bernie Sanders needs to take the rest of the year off from campaigning hes looking a little old and tired. Look to your health, your 70. As a little friendly advice to the candidate Bernie: get about three dozen Lunesta, go home to Vermont, rest up with the wife and kids, don't bother with anymore debates, answer questions by telephone interview from home for the newspapers, RELAX AND WAIT for election night because you already locked up the nomination as Hillary Clinton and Bills racism during 2008 primary (saying about Obama "this guy should be serving us coffee") lost her the black vote plus Hillarys war crimes of mass slaughter in Syria, public execution of a state President, relentless killling of innocent civilians in Libya, her evil deeds and bad karma already did her in. Hillary is finished. Stick a fork in her, shes toast.

Did you hear the Liberals bashing Hillary on CSPAN and talk radio?

Laughable cheerleading aside, this is entertaining to me, because Trump is 69. :)


Trump fans, it seems, are still solidly in the denial phase.
 
This is the same guy that tried to bulldoze an elderly widow's townhouse to make room for a casino parking lot.
 
There is tons, tons of hate in here. The Donald git you all stirred up, I have not seen a thread this in months, not one bit of it in defense or support of trump. All that negative reaction will get him elected.

Tell yourselves he's afraid of who ever, the point is no one has said **** about any of the other candidates since he announced this. He has also broken the unspoken rule, show up at all major events. He will get more air play than all the others by boycotting. At the end of the day, the stupid voter will not remember one thing said in the debate, but will remember what Trump did. There are at least three threads on this in here and its the same in two other forums, all liberal hate of this guy.

All of you with such venom toward this guy are electing him. He wants this backlash. So many on the left just don't get him because he breaks all the rules and STILL has a following.

I find this fascinating, the quaint system you have has produced a monster who is operating all the way outside the box and winning and you don't know what to do about it.

One guarantee, his poll numbers will not go down because of Megan Kelly, more likely the opposite

To feed the village someone's oxen always gets gored. It sucks when it's your oxen. Btw, I bet he paid a hell of a lot more for that widow's townhouse than the feds pay when they eminent domain some widow's property.

I 1000% agree with this.

If Trump doesn't want people to challenge his own words, as Megyn Kelly did, then he needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, and nobody can ask him "Why did you say that?".

There is nothing dishonest and no lack of integrity to decide which of your employees are tapped to do a job. Roger Ailes is within his rights to assign his employees as he sees fit, not as Donald Trump sees fit. I highly doubt Trump accepted outsiders' demands on how he staffed his business.

Unless there is negotiation on who the employees will be and if it hurts the network as a whole. Please, lets not pretend this is a business decision. Its a personal one for Ailes.

Stunts like this where people that should not be the story--reporters, commentators and pundits--become the story because they can't have some integrity about the primary process deserve to get damaged for it.

The only difference is we have a front runner that knows how leverage is used, and hes using it.

I fail to see how erecting a limousine parking lot for Trump's business elite cronies is "feeding the village".

You do know, don't you, that Trump actually lost the quest to bulldoze her house.

Maybe you don't. Her name was Vera Coking. Google her.

Your posts belong in the conspiracy theory forum. I'm not a mind reader. Maybe the folks in there are mind readers and will enjoy your posts.

That is EXACTLY right.
 
The only ones who thinks this is a bad move are those who are irrationally biased.

He explains it quite clearly.

Now that Trumps won. There won't be anymore good monologues during late nite. Colbert or Jimmy Fallon aren't doing any.

And if Netflix thinks I'm going to pay to watch Chelsea Handler, they're out of their cotton picking minds!:2razz:

Breaking News as Donald Trump's Campaign Manager says he is definitely not going to the debate. This is basically because he hates Megyn Kelly.

What a jerk!

For a blowhard who spends all together too much time talking about how "strong" he is, running away from a debate because he thinks one of the moderators was mean to him doesn't seem like a very good move.


(But then, this actually shares something that's appeared in the GOP in the last decade or so: the theme of how they are so tough, strong, and independent.....but somehow spend all their time complaining that they are being victimized by the meany-head liberals. The GOP needs to shed its martyrdom complex.)

1. Apparently you didn't see the information previously provided. It was a "good move".
2. If he was "running" from, you may have had a point, as he isn't, you do not.
