Trump is hilarious. That video is wild.

I have to wonder if he is in charge of his social media. It seems like it but he has to have a team churning this shit out.

And no Kasich so it's just 2 hours of Cruz's face.

Fox graphics department must be sad, they probably have a slew of graphics already made to try and Stump him in the debate.

As I said, attacking someone who isn't present to defend himself is like half of Trump's routine. It never makes him look weak.

Trump isn't Kasich, though. There's a reason Little Marco's Trumpian attacks backfired on him, while Trump pretending to gag on a bottle of water caused everyone to go wild.

is Kasich nuts? He's always complaining about how he doesn't get any face time, now he's guaranteed it and he's not gonna go?

2 problems here.
It's highly irresponsible to avoid political debate. Particularly when Trump's policies are vague or being strongly criticized. He really, really needs to explain himself. Acting too big and full himself to only talk in front of his followers makes him even more questionable.

2nd problem is the format of the debate. Of course Fox News is a joke, but the US can't come up with a neutral situation for them to have a proper political debate? If you get an unbiased moderator to run and control the debate, then the only thing you need is a network to broadcast it. Any network.
No candidate should feel uncomfortable enough about the debate format that he's reluctant to participate.

Really dumb of him.

Less people will watch but it gives Kasich and Cruz more of a spotlight. Skipping it last time hurt him. He is still not guarenteed to get a majority of the delegates. He will absolutely need to get the majority to get the nomination because if it goes to a convention the GOP will 100% screw him out of it.

Fox News officially bows down to their boss and cancels the Salt Lake City debate outright.

Trump made everyone look like chumps in record time.

- Kasich's weasel move makes Trump look like the de facto "decider"

- Fox's swift move to cancel makes their intentions with this debate abundantly clear, solidifying the paranoia of Trump's supporters

- Cruz continues to be a non-factor

I simply can't.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
It's so crazy that in March 2016, that the only ones left are Trump, Kasich and Cruz.

The establishment hates Cruz and Trump... and the front-runners from a year or more ago just died horrible deaths with Rubio, Bush and Walker.

Then again, Trump is really just the Fox News/Limbaugh/Hannity watcher/listener come to life as a real candidate.

The other guys just paid veiled lip service to those people, a little wink like "we got ya" but didn't really ever do much more for them... Trump just comes out and says the shit Limbaugh or Hannity et al were spewing for the last 10-20 years.

Build a wall, keep out muslims, lower taxes. This is the shit that's been sold to these people and they finally have someone just saying it out loud.

It's both scary and hilarious at the same time.

Trump barely did anything, yet it worked out surprisingly well in his favour.

Interestingly enough, I feel like the Fox Business debates have been far and away the best managed debates this cycle, and probably the best ones since I've been following politics (mid-90's).

His lead is baked in now. Last time he gambled before even winning a state. Now he can throw his weight around. Still, a risky move. But I dont think it will matter to him that much especially when there are no favorable states for him for the next few weeks.

AZ is coming up next week and polls have shown a huge Trump lead there.

Yah these debates are pointless. Donald Trump keeps repeating the same 3 things for like 2 hours. I don't think he needs any more debates. They could just record one of his speeches for 10 minutes and put it on repeat. That way he doesn't have to show up any where.

I can't wait for Trump/Clinton debates... If you think the Republican debates are drinking game worthy you are in for a wild ride and liver damage.

It's amazing how no one can get one step ahead of Trump. Had a feeling he was going to announce this last night.
