Dumb for him I think.

To quote Macklemore, “this is fuck-ing awesome!”

For the very first time, I’m seriously entertaining the theory that Trump really doesn’t want to be president. I admit that I thought that was a really foolish argument, but this is such an incredibly risky move that I have to wonder if it isn’t an attempt to wind it down. Unless…perhaps he’s planning a simultaneous event in order to bigfoot the debate? If so, it’s actually kind of brilliant.

Let’s see what the follow through will be, for sure the ‘debate’ will be better off without him.

Ailes and tRump have two whole days to play this up as fodder for better ratings. This is how showmanship is done, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the continuing 2016 Republican clown festival, better known as the Faux-rigged GOP debates. Gee, the suspense is killing me. What will they ever do without the frontrunner??? Stay tuned. Same batshit time, same batshit channel.

This will work against him. Most people who would watch the debate at this point will watch it without him. This might be the first thing that bites him.

Trump- I can take on ISIS and Putin. But I can’t deal with Megan Kelly.

I’ll believe this will actually happen when the debate ends.

Well, if true (and he follows through with it), it will be interesting to see the reaction/consequences. This wouldn’t be a minor issue on the right. If their propaganda arm can be so easily flouted, it’s a huge blow to the party. If this finally hurts Trump’s primary campaign, that’s obviously a major consequence as well.

Also, is it just me, or does it seem like these Republican bullies like to beat up on women and girls?

NYT says they’ve already filled his slot with Rand.

That’s odd. I don’t see how this will help him if he actually follows through with it. It’s Fox News and Megyn Kelly. I am curious to see if it would affect ratings.

Trump takes his ball and goes home because somebody hurt his feelings, poor baby.

Geez, just when the ‘establishment’ thought it was safe to go back into the water, the rug disappears. And I speak not of the Donald’s hair…

This guy is a bigger diva than some famous diva. I’m not up on my divas. Sorry.
