Trump says he will 'most likely' not take part in Fox debate

The fact that Trump is still a serious candidate in the US is so bad for the image of the US president in general. He reminds me a lot of Wilders in the Netherlands. Saying outrageous things that the general, not so bright, audience can nod their heads to and backing out of arguments that matter.

But this is desirable for some Trump fans. You think they care what the rest of the world thinks about the US? Some view it as an insult for the US to seek the rest of the world's opinion.

Goddamn, he looks like he's wearing a Trump Halloween costume

His campaign manager repeated the "very stupid and highly incompetent people" line, so that must be poll-tested or some shit.

Considering you're one of the more prolific posters in every one of these threads, I was hoping you could tell us.

We do seem to see all the same people in the Trump threads waiting to jump on anybody slightly against the grain.

Maybe they are the true stealth Trump supporters. We wouldn't have these threads without them.

I know you guys state side don't want him as President, but the rest of the world does :) from a spectacle point of view, When Obama won his first term here in the UK the politicians did nothing but spout gushing love tones, I dont see how that is possible if Trump wins as they held a debate on banning him from the UK. and not only that (unless he changes once he had power) how refreshing would it be to actually have someone who would call another leader a "twat" when they do something stupid rather than the sit on the fence nonsense we see from career politicians

Cause I'm just tired of all the rallying behind the man. That is all. I speak my mind, and thats that.

Please don't ever call me a Trump supporter again. Thank you. I detest everything he stands for. If you like him, thats fine. I respect your opinoun, but don't label me a Trump supporter.

No way it's Fiorina. Definitely Huckabee. Maybe Carson and Santorum.

Yooo it totally WAS fiorina

Carly Fiorina ✔ @CarlyFiorina
Upping the ante, I'm free tomorrow at 8pm, @realDonaldTrump. My campaign will give $2mm to veterans' cause to debate at Drake U. (2/2)

WHAT THE FUCK
 
Of course Fiorina is gonna bail on the deabte. Her campaign is in a tailspin so she is gonna suck up to Trump. The establishment doesn't care for her much now.

edit: and she lies about abortion videos, lies about marijuana, AND she basically abducted a bunch of kids. She doesn't give a fuck, dirty as hell.

In the UK apprentice, at the end of the competiton, the two remaining candidates have to pick from all the losers to be part of their team for the final challenge. Do they do that in the US apprentice? Is trump going to assemble a team of loser candidates to join him on stage lol
 
Reminder: These undercard people aren't skipping their debate for Trump. They're going to do both. Not sure if Trump's campaign wants to allow that.

Huckabee is on CNN talking about how he should have been on the main debate stage, BUT since he's not, he's totally gonna spite FOX and go to Trump's event. ...Right after he participates in the FOX undercard debate. No opportunism here, nope!

Yup, and he praised Megyn as being irreplaceable back then. Funny how things change.

Trump doesn't care about Megyn Kelly. The truth is that Fox News has targeted him in prior debates and has been pushing Jeb! and Rubio. They don't want him. He knows that.

Trump believes that his base sees Fox as the establishment, and the establishment has given them losers like McCain and Romney. That's what he is betting on.

Jeb is so dense that he couldn't notice a soft ball when it was tossed at him.

All Fox News debate questions Jeb received were all softballs

hmmm, I wonder why?

This morning, Joe Scarborough reported that Ailes called Trump's daughter Ivanka and wife, Melania, to get through to the GOP front-runner. But Trump is saying he'll only talk to Rupert Murdoch directly.

Ailes might get the boot at the end of this. Someone is going to end up falling on their sword before this primary is done.

Who is broadcasting it?

CNN

If she really cares about the troops her campaign would donate the $2mm anyway

As someone who has been watching debates on all the various channels this time around, no way am I watching a GOP debate without Trump. CNN getting Trump is perfect counter-programming.

It's interesting that Huckabee is appearing with Trump on CNN since he used to work for Fox News!
 
Why are people so obsessed with Trump? I don't get it.

Because he reminds people of what a strong president during turbulent times can be and what can be accomplished to make America great again I.e. Lincoln, Teddy, Dwight. Not many people in their lifetimes have the chance to vote for someone that will reverberate in history books for generations.

Huckabee goes where the money is. He can push way more copies of God, Grits and Gravy with the Trump crowd. These aren't politicians, they're televangelists.
 
I loathe Fiorina so much. A shitty human with a failed career.

What really bothers me about Fiorina is her criticisms of Hillary as a social/political climber with no self-pride when Fiorina's career is what it is precisely because she is a DOCUMENTED social and political climber.

First, everyone who is in the position to run for president is a social or political climber of some sort - it's called ambition for a reason - but second, the sheer hypocrisy of Fiorina jabbing Hillary as staying with Bill to become president when she left her first husband and entered a second marriage to earn a CEO position just drives me insane.
 
I find your comment quite disrespectful and in poor taste. As a former illegal immigrant, I can assure you neither I or my parents were unskilled, uneducated, willing to commit crime, or not contribute to the greater good of society as you put it. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and like you said it yourself, the current immigration process is insane and barrier of entry prevents good people from migrating to this country legally. I don't blame my parents for making the tough choices that they made; they lived in fear of getting deported, not finding a job, and not being able to support their kids. And the part of about contribution, we paid our share of taxes without getting any support or assistance from the government for years until we became legal immigrants, do you find that fair? It's insane to make such inane comments and paint people with wide brush strokes.


What about peaceful protests? I don't think having a sign should warrant removal from the rally, I though that's what free speech was all about.

You might get offended, but he's not wrong though. People with undergrad degrees aren't the ones looking to take the risk of jumping the border. By definition it has to be people with little to lose, which usually means unskilled workers (that means without formal trade-school training, not incompetent FYI) or uneducated (at most high school degree, but I'm thinking even that's rare). An a case can be made that those people contribute less than the engineers or IT specialist on a waiting list to immigrate legally.
