Trump Not Interested In Another GOP Debate
KYLE ANDREW BROWN SALT LAKE CITY, March 11 – Donald Trump isn’t gonna participate in any more of those circus GOP primary debates. Saying:”We’ve had enough debates,”.<
“I didn’t know there was a next debate. Can I be honest with you? I think it’s time to end the debates. No, I didn’t know about the debate in Salt Lake City.”
Trump and his GOP challengers have already held 12 debates this cycle – a money bonanza for the media networks – and local station campaign ads in primary states.
Alongisde Trump, it’s Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and somewhere down at the far end is Ohio Gov. John Kasich are the guys still left standing.
For Trump the primary debates are for now done and dusted: “It was really a nice way to finish off the debate season,” Trump said of the Miami debate. “I don’t think there’s any reason for the debates. I know they’re getting very big ratings.”
It’s just the networks and political commentators across the social media platforms fattening their wallets and air time counts Trump will tell you. “Little Marco” and “Liar Cruz” would like another debate stage audition in front of the big money establishment donors as well.
Utah’s Republican Governor Gary Herbert is hopeful: “I have no reason to believe that there won’t be one, but I do note that Donald Trump has said, ‘If I’ve got it wrapped up, I may not come to Salt Lake,'” the governor said. “Now, I would think that would be a mistake on his part.”
Seriously. You think Donald Trump is gonna be taking campaign advice from another old line GOP governor?
