It will be very entertaining.

Agree. His ego is so big that he thinks only his opinion matters. He does have good ideas, nonetheless.

I guess I'm an idealist, but I'd certainly rather have properly moderated debates involving actual policy than this.

Quote:One idea that came up was to urge three leading candidates — Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor; Mr. Walker; and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — to band together and state that they would not participate in any debate in which Mr. Trump was present, using his refusal to rule out a third-party bid as a pretext for taking such a hard line. The thinking, according to a Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full complement of candidates.

The RNC elites met in Aspen to hatch a plot which includes having Walker, Rubio, and Jebbie to threatened to not debate because they fear Trump will run Third Party.

The story in the left wing 'The Hill 'the Walker zombies keep reposting here is part of the RNC astroturfing before they have the ThREE RNC butt boys announced they wont debate.

Scotty Walker, who I was considering supporting, just outed himself as a Rove -RNC billionaire call boy !

And all these planted Third party stories are pure Rove LIES !

This will be the end of the republican party if they pull this off.

The RINOS and all of that side of the RNC/GOP wouldn't dare do that. This would be the end of the GOP if they pull this off.

It will be the end of their national election campaign if their candidates are forced to out crazy Trump.

Are republicans that stupid? Based on the last 20 years, yes.

Are we sure he wouldn't steal a LOT of Dem votes as well? I know I'm not so sure...

Perot got an equal number of both so that could be the case. The unaffiliated voters are in much greater numbers now than then so I imagine that is where many of his votes would come from, and that is a group that is difficult to read as to who they would have voted for if there were no third party candidate.

They would think they did. I doubt I would answer an exit pollster if asked.

The Rep Party better not keep Trump from debating. That would be a BIG mistake as he might decide to run as an indy thus taking with him a bunch of votes from people that are fed up with politicians bought by lobbyists. Too many promises by the Reps to do this or that and nothing comes of it. Those people that are fed up with these jokers will take away their votes and thus give the presidency to the Demons because there will be very few of them voting for him from that side of the fence.

The GOP would not let Ron Paul in to debate. My guess is that Trump will have a similar fate.

Don't count on that happening. He'll be there with guns blazing .

Ron Paul was at all the debates I remember. He got ganged up on at the debates and got screwed at the conventions, but he indeed debated.
