Posted By: Imright, 8/20/2023 9:18:27 PM

Former President Donald Trump confirmed Sunday he will skip the 2024 GOP Presidential Primary debates. “The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, with Energy Independence, Strong Borders & Military, Biggest EVER Tax & Regulation Cuts, No Inflation, Strongest Economy in History, & much more. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” Trump announced on Truth Social. The former president hinted previously that he might not join in on at least the first debate in Milwaukee. Trump told Fox News host Brett Baier in June that, though he likes to debate, he didn’t see the point given his polling.

Well considering everyone will be talking about him at the debate anyway... they just can't NOT talk about him. He is STILL living rent free in all their heads.

Fox has said they will post images of DJT and ask the candidates abt THEIR opinion. If I were a candidate I would say, "I am here to speak abt MY AGENDA NOT DJT". If that is all Fox wants is to hate on Trump I would walk off the stage. Fox should promote the agendas of the CANDIDATES not hate on Trump.

He'll be there just not in person, because everyone knows he is in the front of all their minds. If they are smart,and that is debateable, they won't fall for the "let's get Trump" bait that Fox is planning, they will speak to their own ideas for the country, though, in the end it is an exercise in futility. VOTE TRUMP! MAGA

Fine by me. The Republican party has been stabbing Trump in the back almost as much as the Democratic party. Can the Republican party use this as an excuse to keep him off the Republican primary ballot?

If the GOP front runner is not going to participate why are they bothering to have debates? They are just phony PR events. I liked the one on one interviews with each candidate that Tucker did. Much more informative.

Strategic move. President Trump gets free publicity. He's leading in all the polls - so why even go if you know the losers will gang up on you? He also gets to find out who defends him during the course of the 'debate.' When Trump wins he can count on an ally he can appoint to his Cabinet. LGBFJB

Fox News’ Bill Hemmer appeared stunned and frustrated as former U.S. Assistant District Attorney Andy McCarthy laid out how the Biden “scheme” works Monday. Hunter Biden’s lawyers allegedly threatened to put President Joe Biden on the witness stand if the Department of Justice brought charges for an illegal firearm purchase, Politico reported. In a letter to then-U.S. attorney David Weiss, Hunter’s lawyer, Chris Clark, argued that a leak indicating prosecutors had enough evidence to charge Hunter over a false statement related to buying a gun was “illegal” and any charges brought would be viewed as a partisan attack.

It's unclear if they will be in the audience but the two will be speaking to the media before and after the debate. Donald Trump announced on Sunday he would not attend either the first or second Republican primary debate - both of which are sponsored by Fox News - despite qualifying for the event and leading the polls for the GOP presidential nomination.

One of Donald Trump's top advisors has unveiled the tough anti-migrant crackdown the former president will launch if voters award him another stint in the White House in next year's vote. Stephen Miller, a senior Trump advisor, says a second Trump administration would construct more wall on the US-Mexico border, extend the floating barrier on the Rio Grande, and deploy a naval blockade against drug traffickers. Speaking with Axios, Miller unveiled other measures, including an expansion of the so-called 'Muslim ban' on arrivals from mostly Middle Eastern and African countries, and screening to prevent Marxists from entering the US.

Someone who is up 41 points should not participate in a political debate. In the RealClearPolitics poll of national GOP primary polls, former President Donald Trump is 40.9 points ahead of second place.What’s more, nationally, Trump sits well over the magic halfway mark with 55.8 percent support. Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is waaaaaayyy behind in second place with 14.9 percent support. The rest are in single digits. Only a madman who’s up 41 points would risk that lead by participating in a debate with a half-dozen other candidates who—I’m sorry, but this is true—do not matter.

As many as 1000 persons, many of them children, may have died as a result of the fire in Maui. The exact toll -- above the hundreds documented -- is difficult to assess right now as the bodies are charred beyond recognition and scientific equipment to test the remains are not readily available, but the tragedy -- naturally and without basis -- is being blamed on "climate change” in many of the media accounts. In fact, these people died as human sacrifices to green policies, legislative and corporate missteps, and administrative incompetence.

If proven true, two-thirds of Americans say that Biden should either resign or be impeached, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll indicates. The accusation of possible bribery is serious. And a key House investigative panel says it has evidence, mostly bank statements, to back up claims that Biden took money from oligarchs in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. “The tally of foreign money to the Biden family has hit at least $20 million,

Overall, 56 percent, a majority of American voters, express disdain towards Christie. Only 22 percent of 1,002 people polled said they held “favorable” opinions of the former New Jersey governor.
