the Republicans' problem has been gathering those "pieces" to try and win.. Bob Dole, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney.. and, God forbid, Jeb Bush, should he somehow emerge and garner major support.. the shift toward the middle has not worked.. they need a bold candidate who doesn't pander to the middle.. like Reagan.
I think Trump's decision to skip tomorrow's debate will not hurt him.. the school playground analysts have jumped in to say he's afraid of a woman (Meg Kelly), or how will he deal with World Leaders when he's "afraid" he isn't treated fairly.
but in reality, Fox News needs Trump for ratings, all the candidates have already debated a number of times.. nothing new to say, except dump on Trump, which they will do tomorrow, and no real policy issues will come forth.. meanwhile Trump will be several blocks away holding a Veteran's meeting that will get equal or more coverage than the debate.. the News people have nothing to talk about, but Trump.. he is super smart, and playing them like a fiddle.. if Fox is serious about holding a debate for the people of Iowa, they will begin the program saying Trump decided not to attend, and leave it there.. don't mention his name again.. but they won't.. they can't.. Trump is everything they have to talk about, he will dominate the debate even while he is not there.
lol
