Guess who wants Trump to come on his show more to goose his crappy ratings?

Trump is probably just managing his risk here. If he is running ahead in Iowa, there is more downside to tangling with Cruz on the air than there is upside. He can better manage his message through surrogates and twitter.

Besides, if Trump isnāt in the debate, where do you think heās gonna be?
Almost certainly passing commentary with a much more friendly tv anchor on a different network.
Heās basically gonna get an opportunity to respond to everyone, without them getting an opportunity to respond back, in a far friendlier and more scripted setting.

The āMorning Joeā co-host also compared Trumpās move to a famous moment in the 1980 Republican presidential primary debates. Ronald Reagan had paid for a debate in Nashua, New Hampshire, with George H.W. Bush after the party refused to pay. When Reagan invited five additional candidates to participate in the debate, the moderator tried to cut off his microphone, to which Reagan declared, āIām paying for this microphone!ā
āHistoryās repeating itself,ā Scarborough said, noting that Reagan objected to the debate rules because they werenāt āfair to the rest of the candidates.ā
Now bring up the part where Trump wanted Kelly replaced in the debate. He could have actually got that wish, because MacCallum, Earhardt,Childers,etc,etc would have been āperfectā enough to satisfy Trump. Had Kelly been replaced with Tantaros or Guilfoyle, then everyone would have had to watch Trump enraptured in 24-7 orgasmic bliss.
However had Kelly been replaced, then Trump wins it all. Trump isnāt paying for this debate, Fox News is paying for that debate and Trump is welcome to walk from the stage and back onto it.
Thank you for letting folks know that he will likely be on your show Thursday. Good luck with keeping that show under control.

Trump is corrupt. Scarborough is corrupt. No news here.

Last night, Trump and his organization were announcing plans to do an event / fund raiser / something for Wounded Warriors and (ideally) having it broadcast on a competing network.
As of last night Wounded Warriors was not aware of any plans and nothing was confirmed.

TPM, if youāre going to cover someone on the right, at least let it be someone who is relevant or interesting. Joe Scarborough is neither of those things.

Joe loves wearing those little quarter zip pullovers. I bet heās also the guy who wears a tennis sweater tied around his neck in the Spring. Probably an Izod.

I suppose thatās a theory. Hereās mine: that a historically maladjusted candidate has been throwing a five-month tantrum over a perfectly legitimate question, demanded that a moderator displeasing to him be yanked, was refused and mocked, and jumped up from the dinner table and stomped up the stairs to sulk in his room. His ālow-informationā admirers somehow find this stuff refreshing. The rest of us viscerally understand that this is what immature people do when faced with a situation they donāt like. Granted I havenāt got a TV show but if you put Joeās theory against mine I believe mine.

Oh, Joe.
The Trumpsterās fee-fees get hurt and you immediately drop to your knees and start sucking in his defense.
You are pathetic.

All the other people around the table also pretty much concurred with Joeās ass-kissing praise (Mika, Willie, the dumb one that isnāt Heilemann, and the wishy-washy Washington Post black guy).

Moaninā Joe has his head so far up Trumpās ample ass that he can actually see the roots of that āthingā on top of The Donaldās head.

This was cooked up between Trump and Roger Ailes to gin up viewership for their lousy debates. Itās no more real than the āfeudsā pro-wrestlers pretend to have before a match.
Expect this:
- Trump and Ailes will meet at the last moment.
- Trump will emerge from the meeting saying that the concessions he demanded were met.
- The phony show will go on as scheduled, with a āchastenedā Megyn Kelly.
