Trump Skipping The Debate Isn't Okay!

[DarkFury]

I could care less he skipped it. He STILL won post debate poll without even being there. That's pretty good you know.

Obama withdraw from two debates, so did Hillary. Reagan skipped the Iowa Debate too.

So tell us Jim, if it was okay when Hillary did it in 2008...what has changed? (I'll give you a hint...it has to do with a letter of the alphabet)

Not dsure why you are addressing your comment to me; I approve Trump skipping the debate completely and would have done the same.

"Trump Skipping The Debate Isn't Okay!"

Actually all the GOP candidates should refuse to participate in the 'debates,' they're a waste of time.

I am already burned out on the whole thing, and there is 10 more months of the crap fest...

I was watching the Trump veteran thingy and going to the debate to avoid the CNN commercials which seem particularly stupid.

After a while I decided to just watch the commercials and wait.

It won't be too long before the phone calls and political ads swamp the airwaves....I think I'll turn off the cable and just get NetFlix..and unplug the land line...They have already been calling me about state candidates...

I love listening to the pollsters questions, giving random responses then telling them at the end that I think I have changed my mind and wont vote.

When they called about the state attorney general asking me who I'd support and the issues...I just answer randomly...hell, I've never heard of these people..
