Ron Paul Campaign Rejects Trump Iowa Debate


Trump’s participation will contribute to circus-like
atmosphere and is odd considering his slight to RPI



ANKENY, Iowa – The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential campaign released the following statement concerning the selection of Donald Trump as moderator for the December 27th Republican debate to be held in Iowa. Below please find comments from Ron Paul 2012 National Campaign Chairman Jesse Benton

“The Ron Paul 2012 Presidential Campaign Committee rejects the selection of Donald Trump as moderator for the Republican presidential debate to be held on December 27th

“We have conferred with our Iowa campaign chairman Drew Ivers and vice-chairmen David Fischer and A.J. Spiker who are all RPI State Central Committee Members, and they concur with this decision.

“The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity. Mr. Trump’s participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like. To be sure, Mr. Trump’s participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.

“Mr. Trump’s selection is also wildly inappropriate because of his record of toying with the serious decision of whether to compete for our nation’s highest office, a decision he appeared to make frivolously. The short-lived elevation of Mr. Trump’s stature as a candidate put him on the radar of many organizations and we recall that last spring he was invited to keynote the Republican Party of Iowa’s annual Reagan Dinner, yet at the last minute he left RPI holding the bag by canceling. In turn, RPI canceled its biggest fundraising gala of the year and suffered embarrassment and in addition RPI was required to engage in refunding measures. Our candidate will not even consider participating in the late-December debate until Mr. Trump publicly apologizes to Iowa party leaders and rectifies in full the situation.

“Therefore our candidate Ron Paul, the champion of the Constitution, has advised he will not attend.”

I wonder if Newsmax will reconsider their position?

I wonder how long before the "Paul BANNED from Iowa Debate" threads start?
 
Huntsman refused to attend the Trump debate as well.

I know. It's in the original story :-D. It'll be fun watching them kiss up to big corporate Trump, especially that kiss-ass Romney. I have a mental image of it already.

Although some of his positions are out there, I love Dr. Paul's directness. I like his style.
 
Trump moderating this is an absolute ridiculous sham.
 
Will he bring up the birth certificate?

I don't think he can help himself.

He will probably try to toss a brag in there. Smug prickhead that he is

I suspect he will promote a show or use a catch-phrase like "Your fired". Probably say "I'm a really-really nice guy" then look toward his side saying "Don't you think so?" and them agreeing.

I also forgot him coming in on a helicopter.

This is a "Wargames" scenario. The only way to win is not to play.

I see no way Obama doesnt win reelection.

Was there ever really any doubt?

Not in my book. Not with the current crop of clowns running and certainly not with the mindless morons that will vote for him for no other reason than because he is a-democrat and/or b-black. He's got about 47% of the vote already in his pocket (and that includes all the idiots that pretend to be oh so very upset about the bankers and brokers stuffing politicians pockets but will without question vote for the biggest recipient of said corruption).

Maybe he'll take the occasion to present all that damning evidence his investigators dug up in Hawaii. :2rofll:
 
Romney versus Gingrich with Trump as the moderator - if they could only dance, they'd have the makings of a new hit show!

My take on Trump's reason for hosting a debate: Trump is trying to get his name associated with viable candidates instead of being dumped in the loony bin with Palin, Bachmann and Perry. I can't believe Romney & Gingrich are willing to go to this farce.
 
It might because of Trump declaring months ago that Ron Paul can't win maybe?
 
In another forum I peruse about in, it was suggested that there should be another debate at the same time starring Ron Paul, John Huntsman and Gary Johnson. That would definitely be worth watching IMO.
