How ridiculous is this? How will he treat Ron though? He said one nasty thing at CPAC, but on Twitter he's said surprisingly decent things.

Go away, Trump.

 

[wgadget]

Is Ron even invited?

 

[pauliticalfan]

I can see the SNL skit already.

 

[vechorik]

Donald Trump will endorse Newt (because Newt belongs to Trump's golf course) No lie.

 

[brendan.orourke]

At least he's for free markets...I assume at least.

If these guys had any character, they'd all reject an invite to this, though.

Trump threatened to run 3rd party if one of these candidates gets the nomination. I do not think any of them should participate in this.

 

[libertyfanatic]

They're doing this to warm Trump up to the GOP voters for his third party run against Ron.

 

[PaulStandsTall]

He's free market inclined, but he is dead set on a trade war with China. When he answered questions on whether he'd run, and who he would endorse, he is very sly and shrewd with his words. Another words, politics are certainly in his future.

This is an utter joke! This has officially become a three-ring circus. I thought qualified news people (and that's a bit of a stretch as is), are supposed to ask the tough news worthy questions so that voters become better accquainted with the candidates (if done fairly). How does he qualify? Because his name is TRUMP?

This guy has to involve his fat head in everything! I don't even consider him a businessman. He's more like a reality star entertainer. Whose going to host the next debate, Kim Kardashian??? It's sickening.

Really, these debates are turning into nothing but fluff and with this 'reality show' element now. Man, just imagine if the founders, or Abe Lincoln were instantly revived and could see this shit. They would literally die again, of instant shock. And ofc, who else to find, but yet another person who is somewhat biased toward Ron, how convenient

 

[IterTemporis]

...Was last election this much of a joke?

Or did I get involved at the right time so I could see all this ridicule?

I feel like I am watching a reality show..

 

[seapilot]

Somebody fire Trump. Please.

 

[Alex540]

Newt will have to do something besides insult the host.

 

[dannno]

People watch far too much god damn television.

I've felt like that for years. It just keeps getting weirder.

 

[Athan]

Back to 89 seconds again. Fucking toupe.

 

[rp713]

i can see trump running as 3rd party to challenge ron. he certainly has the money to get on the ballots no problem. and will undoubtedly get corporate backing. this is not looking good if he decides to do this.

 

[tfurrh]

this is just reality tv programming. sad.
