TRUMP……

What else can you say, except Trump?   There is more to Trump’s boycott of the Republican debate tonight besides a teenage feud with Megyn Kelly; one that she has thrown fuel on as well.  Little miss cute face loves the limelight, they have what is called in the corporate and even the private world, a personality conflict.   When you have that in business, one usually ends up quitting or being FIRED!   So Trump fired Fox.   At this point as Hillary Clinton would say “What difference does it make.”

What are the Fox moderators going to ask the candidates tonight that has not already been ask?   We’re going to hear the same answers, same statements we have already heard in the previous six debates.   I am not buying into the “Trump owes it to Iowa to show up, so they can learn more about Trump and the over populated Republican participants.   Most of these candidates should have already left.  Besides, how much speaking time does each candidate total in a debate, and how much of that time are they simply criticizing each other.  Each debate will have one or two candidates giving a cleaver answer or statement, but for an overwhelming amount of time, it is going to be your typical broken record………

Trump, with his own event, will have more to say than he would in a debate.  He’ll own all the time.  If he is smart, he’ll take questions from the audience……and you can bet there will be some protesters present, that he will react to.   Whether Trump’s event is on the almighty Tube or not, it will be recorded and played, at least excerpts.   Every move and word from the Donald’s mouth gets recorded.

Trump is bucking tradition, he is bucking the establishment and he could care less about the media.   I would bet Trump gets plenty of airtime between now and the Iowa caucus.

Trump will be absent from the stage tonight, but still in the background.   I would bet the candidates give him a fair amount of THEIR own time.   The debate will be as much about Donald as it will about important national and world issues.   Trump more than survives this.
