Update: Debate canceled

Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will not participate in Monday's Fox News debate, and will instead speak at AIPAC.

“I’m doing a major speech in front of a very important group of people that night," Trump said on "Fox & Friends."

He added that the Republican candidates have had enough primetime debates. "I think it's enough," he said.

[B-Dubs]

Well, there goes everyone's reasons to watch it.

 

[Marauder Shields]

Is there any point in having the debate without him there? Especially given that the field is a lot smaller now?

 

[Haloid1177]

So Kasich and Cruz? Who cares?

 

[Hard]

He's winning so hard, what's the point?

 

[Spectromixer]

Lol Cruz vs. Kasich debate

 

[Tuffty]

"I think it's enough"

It's really not Donald, we have no clue on your policies still.

 

[kess]

He should just send Christie as his surrogate

now Fox knows how he feels

 

[darkwing]

lol Cruz basically will be in monologue ?

 

[newjeruse]

Agree with him. There have been way too many debates. All the moderators are going to try to do is bait him into a sound byte anyway.

 

[Transistor]

He's not wrong. The amount of debates this year have been ridiculous.

 

[How About No]

Even Trump is sick of Trump

 

[EPaul]

It's best they just cancel it

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Skipping a debate would negatively impact a candidate whose support base isn't made up primarily of complete jackasses. So yeah, Trump knows his supporters well if he's planning to skip.

 

[boiled goose]

Lol Cruz vs. Kasich debate

Good for Kasich. He should attack Cruz on policy. He has a chance to do better in upcoming States. Needs to stand out

 

[wild wild rice]

lol Cruz basically will be in monologue ?

Par for the course, really.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Well yeah, the remnants are donezo and it's not like he has anything important to say lol

 

[massoluk]

Kasich vs Cruz debate would be interesting.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

I would do exactly the same if I were him tbh. How many debates have they had at this point?

He's got over half the delegates he needs already, is winning in New York and Pennsylvania, and attending the debate just gives his opponents the chance to benefit.

 

[Amory]

I think it's good, actually.

The other 2 will get some face time and they'll get a chance to talk

 

[gutter_trash]

Lets dispel the notion that Cruz is a good debater

 

[BFIB]

Amazing now that the focus will be on policies, he decides to not show up.

 

[Slayven]

Will Cruz eat another booger?

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Maybe he could tell us his plans in this debate.

 

[redmetal86]

Ahh, the old, "There's no point in fighting you anymore, Frieza" strategy.

 

[Hari Seldon]

That is real good news for Kasich since Trump won't be there to finally attack him.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Obviously Trump wants Kasich to go in on Cruz and split the non-Trump vote down the middle.

 

[Calamari41]

After the non-stop "gotcha" shit coming out of the Fox News debates, I can't say I blame him.

 

[TS-08]

I think it's good, actually.

The other 2 will get some face time and they'll get a chance to talk

They'll have a chance to talk about Trump when every other question is directly or indirectly about him.

 

[blahness]

Will Cruz eat another booger?

I must have missed this. Any gifs of this?

 

[Skellig Gra]

I agree, it's more than enough.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hope this costs him some states. He knows Kelly would destroy him like last time with video clips.

 

[legacyzero]

Your time to shine, Kasich. Dude is the least crazy out of all of them.

 

[King Tubby]

There really is no point, Cruz and Kasich can't do anything to stop Trump from getting the nomination.

 

[gutter_trash]

Trump is going " Let them fight" between Cruz and Kasich

A three man race fits into his plans of keeping Cruz and Kasich divided

 

[Slayven]

I must have missed this. Any gifs of this?

You don't want this

 

[PBY]

Hope this costs him some states. He knows Kelly would destroy him like last time with video clips.

You keep saying this yet Cruz is so much grosser and Ksich is a piece of shit who can win in Nov

 

[wildfire]

Your time to shine, Kasich. Dude is the least crazy out of all of them.

I actually agree with this. This is Kaisich's one chance to get more clout than Cruz and become king of the (republican) north.

 

[Earthstrike]

Skipping a debate would negatively impact a candidate whose support base isn't made up primarily of complete jackasses. So yeah, Trump knows his supporters well if he's planning to skip.

To be fair, the number of debates was indeed ridiculously high and it is transparent what purpose they are attempting to serve.

 

[RPGCrazied]

You keep saying this yet Cruz is so much grosser and Ksich is a piece of shit who can win in Nov

Again, Cruz is much easier to beat in a general. He can't flip flop like Trump can. Just wait if Trump gets the nomination, he will turn into some weird democrat.

 

[gutter_trash]

Kasich helped Trump win in Missouri against Cruz

3 man fight helps him

 

[Nathan_Drake]

I must have missed this. Any gifs of this?

Your day is about to get funnier and grosser. Congrats

Yes there are by the way

 

[phaonaut]

After the non-stop "gotcha" shit coming out of the Fox News debates, I can't say I blame him.

The term "gotcha question" is so strange. If you say some goofy shit or your words don't line up with your actions. You should have to answer for it, if your running for the highest office in the land.

Also, didn't this work out poorly for him last time.

 

[LilZippa]

What about all that free speech he could be making. Damn it is almost unamerican for him not to speak.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Your time to shine, Kasich. Dude is the least crazy out of all of them.

Uh...

 

[Arkeband]

After the non-stop "gotcha" shit coming out of the Fox News debates, I can't say I blame him.

God forbid journalists, even shitty Fox News ones, do any kind of fact checking.

 

[BlackGhost]

Will Cruz eat another booger?

*pukes

 

[Kyzer]

"I think it's enough"

It's really not Donald, we have no clue on your policies still.

hes made it plenty clear

make good deals
win at trade
win at war
love the latinos
deport the latinos
love the muslims
ban and place all muslims under surveillance
build a wall
mexico will pay for it
knock the hell out of isis
torture maybe
make america great

ummm how can you NOT support this guy!?

 

[Tesseract]

punished trump does not forget how fox treated him

 

[Antiwhippy]

Again, Cruz is much easier to beat in a general. He can't flip flop like Trump can. Just wait if Trump gets the nomination, he will turn into some weird democrat.

This is the dumbest way for him to go about it. He would lose his entire base overnight and minorities will still hate him for basically empowering every racist in America.
