Well, that's one way to screw over the gop further - I mean, after they shoot themselves in the foot, *trip over the other foot, land on their lip, split it open and make their knee swell* [okay, between the ** might be me but not all at once - I'm a klutz with clown feets], shove both feet into their mouths, and their head up their asses. Because honestly, at this point, who cares?

Here is the strategy for all the other networks.

They get together, they split the whole thing into 3 minute clips, and each take one, then theybjust, play it and pitch to the next network. CBS plays one and says, continue on with this on CNN who pitches to MSN who pitches over to ABC.

Better yet, they all just say fox won't let us play anything so no free publicity from us.

Or have news anchors read what they said, with professional sketch artists like they have to do with some trials. It'll lessen the impact of both Fox and whatever the Republicans say. Trump dies without a camera.

If orangey's word is to be trusted (cough) there won't be much of a debate.


"Many people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence," Trump wrote.

"As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a 'wonderful' field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points," he added.

"Reagan didn't do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I'M YOUR MAN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Yeah, but Trump was talking about the Republican primary debates, and President Reagan didn't participate in a Republican primary debate in 1984 against Republican challenger Harold Stassen.

Edit: I got distracted and had to hit submit before the last part I was going to add: Democrats had a primiary debate that year: video. Presidents tend to not debate challengers in their own party. Like Ford didn't debate Reagan when Reagan challenged him in 1976.
