B-Man Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Hmmmmm..........somebody let Huck know that the charade on CNN may not work. A military veterans group told Donald Trump they do not want his money from his fundraiser for vets Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America founder Paul Rieckhoff tweeted Wednesday he would turn away any donation that came from the fundraiser Trump is planning to speak at in lieu of participating in the presidential primary debate in Iowa Thursday. Paul (PJ) Rieckhoff ✔ @PaulRieckhoff If offered, @IAVA will decline donations from Trump's event. We need strong policies from candidates, not to be used for political stunts. 11:17 AM - 27 Jan 2016 963 963 Retweets 958 958 likes Edited January 28, 2016 by B-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which event is the bigger "charade"?... http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2016/01/28/beware-hypocritical-conservatives-defending-the-sins-of-fox-news-over-trump/ This is not to say that Trump is a fully trustworthy person, just noting that the "Fair and Balanced" Fox News network is losing tons of credibility thanks to being exposed by popular "new media" sites like Breitbart.

Chef Jim Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Fox News isn't running for President of the United States. I heard someone say that the RNC should run the debates. Come up with their own questions. It is after all for the members of their party to help them choose their candidate not for some networks to entertain the masses. I think this is a good idea. The networks can run the debate but the RNC (and the DNC for that matter) should come up with the questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, please. Now conservatives have a problem with Fox News? Let me let you in on a little secret: Fox news, Donald Trump, Megyn Kelly and Brietbart are ALL getting precisely what they want from this crap. Ratings, money, click hits, etc. Every. Last. One. Of. Them. And the Trumpster Divers are keeping them all alive and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 What's worse, her asking the questions or him running away like a five-year old who's just seen the bogeyman under the bed. Her asking the questions. Seriously, I think this move is brilliant on Trump's part. He's upstaging the debate by refusing to participate in it, and keeping himself in the headlines at other candidates' expense, AND marginalizing everyone else by refusing to legitimize the debate as the Republican front-runner. It's great marketing. Not what you want in a leader ("I'm not going to the G8 summit if they seat me next to Angela Merkel again!") But great marketing.

IDBillzFan Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 But great marketing. And let's be honest, marketing is the only thing Trump is interested in. The number of people who find him genuine is actually frightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of people who find him genuine is actually frightening. Not the first time I've said this: Trump is a brand. He's not a real person. Just a brand. I still like the theory that this is a publicity stunt that has gone wildly out of control, and he just doesn't know how to stop it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I don't mind someone putting the media in their place....they make a ton of money on these debates, while using them to try and steer elections in favor of their biases.
