Repub Trump WILL Skip Fox Debate for Own Town Hall, Updated# 19

imaginative

keep your eye on the ball
I think he should have them come on over, this could be just what Fox needs to be put back in their place!

And if I was a republican contender (or are they really just contending for the Trump VP slot?!) I would be absolutely looking at showing up at this venue.

I dont normally listen to Limbaugh- but I have and inside gig in just a bit and I think I'll tune in. I'm sure that he will be talking mostly about this

Ted Cruz Super PACs Offer $1.5 Million for Veterans if Donald Trump Will Debate Him One-on-One In Iowa

DES MOINES, Iowa — A pair of pro-Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) Super PACs just offered $1.5 million for veterans if Donald Trump will debate Cruz one-on-one in Iowa before Sunday evening.

Keep The Promise I and Keep The Promise II offered up the sizable donation for America’s veterans on Wednesday evening.

The principal donors of Keep the Promise I, the Mercer family, and Keep the Promise II, the Neugebauer family, in a joint statement released Wednesday evening said:

Senator Cruz and Mr. Trump both respect the veterans and hold them in the highest regard but Senator Cruz respects the process and we are calling on Mr. Trump to do the same and debates are the purest form of democracy. Iowans – and Americans – deserve to hear from the frontrunners in this ‘two-man race’ one last time. Not only would this be a heck of a debate, but it would also be a terrific opportunity to generate millions of dollars for the veterans.

The press release made clear the parameters of the pro-Cruz Super PACs’ offer: The debate must be between just Trump and Cruz, must take place on or before Sunday Jan. 31 in Iowa, must be one-hour long, and the candidates can pick a jointly-agreed-to moderator themselves.

The two organizations said in a press release:

In response to Senator Ted Cruz’s challenge of a one-on-one debate, the principal donors of the Keep the Promise I and II super PACs are offering presidential candidate Donald Trump a truly fantastic deal, pledging to donate $1.5 million to charities committed to helping veterans if Mr. Trump agrees to debate Senator Cruz in Iowa. This money is in addition to the millions of proceeds available to the veterans as a share of the revenues that this debate could secure from a host network.

It’s unclear at this time whether Trump would move forward with this offer. But at a rally in Des Moines here on Wednesday evening, Cruz announced he has a venue and time and place already set for it.

“We have a venue, we have a time — all we’re missing is a candidate,” Cruz said.


According to the Texas Tribune, the date and time Cruz has reserved is 8 p.m. on Saturday at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City, Iowa.

I can't dig through them today, but this sort of thing is strictly against the rules of the RNC.

I wonder how he will handle a real crisis from Putin or ISIS...who don't follow him around waiting to kiss his hand.

Are you kidding me? I, for one, would stand and cheer if I saw Trump get up from the table and tell Putin that he'll be back when Putin is ready to deal. THIS is how Trump has gotten where he is today.

Wow, spoiled child having a temper tantrum because someone asked him a question he didn't like. If that is all it takes for him to pick up his toys and go home, I wonder how he will handle a real crisis from Putin or ISIS...who don't follow him around waiting to kiss his hand. I think it would be great if he didn't show up. It will give the others more time to discuss their views and plans.

So for the past eight years members here have been b*tching because we have a lightweight president that bows to the whims of foreign leaders. We now have a potential leader that will tell them all to #*@! off until they are willing to work with us and on our terms and you think he's childish. So tell me what exactly is it that you are wanting for president, I mean aside from Jesus and I'm pretty sure you could find fault with him as well.

My family thought this was the most hilarious, spot on analysis of the perfidy of the American voter they've seen in a while.

Watching on the CNN app on my iPad. I wanted to make sure CNN got my rating count and not FOX. Talking head, who is filling time while waiting for The Donald to come on stage, mentioned that besides CNN, the local TV stations in Iowa where the event is taking place are also covering it live, so it will get lots of TV exposure in Iowa.
