Donald Trump will miss the final Republican presidential debate to address a major pro-Israel lobbying organization instead, according to an insider. “Hearing that Trump secured a Monday night speaking slot at AIPAC conf. in D.C,” tweeted Noah Pollak, executive director of the Emergency Committee for Israel, referencing the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. “Also happening that night: [the] Republican debate in Salt Lake City,” he added, alluding to the 13th GOP presidential contest on March 21. Fox News announced on Monday that it is hosting next week’s contest in Salt Lake City -- its fourth event this presidential election. Trump...

Yo, good, the media might have a great debate about the Country, instead of free time and ratings for Trump?

This is Trump's way of saying, the nomination is mine. I've got to get ready for the General Election. My first stop is Israel! Later, Guys!

And it should boost him in New York.
 
Excellent move. No need to attend. It's all a circus for the dishonest media anyway.

He should meet with the Israeli group. Then meet with some sheriffs. Then with some unemployed black folks.

Make America great again Mr. Trump.
 
Meh he kind of has to go frankly. See Hillary Clinton will be speaking there as well so he's going to have to counter her (lies about him) heh

It's also one of the few bi-partisan speeches the two will have. I'll certainly be watching to see the bi-partisan reaction's.

And it will put a lock on Florida for Trump in the general.
It ought to be hilarious watching Kasich and Cruz standing on the stage.
"You go ahead and answer first Ted". "No you go ahead and answer first John".

Nothing is more appropriate for the Republican who is self funding :eusa_clap: his “campaign” than to line up lobbyists….

well they did ask him following the last debate and he felt they had had enough of them. To hear the same things over again is really kind of stupid. Cruz has nothing new. We know what he is and wants.

yep, that he owes nothing to. Kind of refreshing.
 
Kasich said he's not going either. He intended to confront Trump. He had his talking points all ready to go. Too bad.
 
They all have to kiss up to the Jewish elites.

He's just paying lip service, Trump is secretly anti-Jewish elite. He goes there, does some lip service, then republicans can't accuse him of being anti-Israel, which they will do at every debate from now on. Half of the debate consists of kissing up to Jewish elites and Israel. We shouldn't even be having this discussion but we are in a sorry state. And with Trump, at least the rehab/reversal process will occur.
 
Since both Trump & Kasich aren't going, Fox has cancelled it and Cruz is whining about lost air time.

This whole election is about ratings? WTF?????

After Trump pulls out, Fox News cancels Republican debate

By Megan Cassella 2 hours ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Republican presidential debate scheduled for next week in Utah has been canceled, host Fox News said on Wednesday, after party front-runner Donald Trump told the network he would not participate.

Trump, who has clashed with Fox News throughout his campaign, told Fox in an interview on Wednesday he would not appear at the event, scheduled for Monday, because he thought the Republicans had "had enough debates."

Rival John Kasich said following Trump's decision that he would also skip the debate unless the front-runner changed his mind and decided to come.


Ted Cruz, the third remaining Republican candidate vying for the party's nomination for the November presidential election, criticized Trump on Twitter, calling him #DuckingDonald and urging his own supporters to tell Trump to attend.

Fox News, part of the Twenty-First Century Fox Inc broadcast media and entertainment company controlled by Rupert Murdoch, had announced the debate, to be held in Salt Lake City, earlier this week, its latest in the primary season.

After the cancellation, Trump posted on Twitter that he would be making a "big speech" the night of the debate, "but I wish everyone well."

The boisterous billionaire had skipped a Fox News debate in Iowa in January amid complaints that he had been mistreated by the network. He has long clashed with anchor Megyn Kelly and revived criticism of her on Tuesday, calling her on Twitter "crazy" and "unwatchable."

The Iowa debate went on as scheduled, despite Trump's decision to host a rally at the same time. But back in January, the Republican field was much larger, with Trump among eight contenders who qualified to participate in the Iowa debate, and another four qualifying for an earlier "undercard" debate.

Wednesday marks the first time either party has canceled a debate.

Trump's participation in the debates has helped networks draw record audiences to them. Two previous debates this election cycle hosted by Fox News attracted the two largest audiences for non-sports cable TV programs in history.

Some 24 million Americans tuned in to the first Republican presidential debate last August, while another in Detroit earlier this month attracted 16.9 million viewers.

In February, CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves spoke candidly about the advertising money the Republican front-runner was bringing into the network.

"The money's rolling in and this is fun," Moonves said at a telecommunications conference in San Francisco, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"I've never seen anything like this, and this going to be a very good year for us," Moonves said. "Sorry. It's a terrible thing to say. But bring it on, Donald. Keep going."
