Why Donald Trump Cancelled the Debate

Do you think this guy could end up running? I do, considering the bumbling characters the GOP has to offer. Considering that Newt is the front runner, anything is possible. What do you think?

Donald Trump, Republican Bozo, Dreams of Moderating Debate

I believe that 'the Donald' Trump's endorsement WOULD in fact be harmful to a candidate; Trump has been described as the clown presiding over the three rings at the circus as a debate moderator. He's an idiot. He has always been an idiot, and his incredibly brief moment in the spotlight as a brief candidate was never serious, he was always nothing but a cheap, very tacky, narcissistic self-promoter.

For the record, it was a Fox News Poll (you can read the wording of the question yourself, if you care - I'm betting you don't), that showed that 93% of Republican voters felt that an endorsement by 'the Donald' would either hurt or have no effect on them voting for a candidate --- since 'the Donald' wants to be so factual here.  That breaks down to 62% wouldn't care, and 31% would persuade them against a candidate with Trump's endorsement; only 6% felt a Trump endorsement would be favorable.  I would argue that Trump's obsession as a birther hasn't helped his credibility, although a poll among Republicans, as of September 2011 still show a significant birther component in the right wing base.  Ahhh, those fact-averse right wingers!  They are delusional, crazy thinking out-of-touch ideologues personified!

So far, only the Nut Gingrich has indicated a willingness to participate in a Trump moderated debate.  I think it is possible, and utterly hilarious, if no other candidates are willing to show up.  It should be dawning on the GOP wannabe's that they may be reaching a candidates point of saturation with the likely primary voters, along with the realization that those debates are providing them more opportunities to shoot themselves in the proverbial foot instead of improving their acceptance among voters.

The Fox poll is just one more example that shows the right doesn't like any of the candidates running in 2012 very much; none of the above, and the names of individuals who are adamantly NOT running had more support than the actual candidates have.

And when it comes to who has the greater influence in the upper echelons of the Republican Party, and the id-jot tea partiers for that matter, Rove controls more money in his PACs than Trump will ever direct.  But then Rove's preferred candidate was Rick Perry, apparently he hoped for another Shrub.  Perry has gone downhill in public opinion, including in Texas, faster than an Olympic skier on a snowy mountain slope. There is a big Right Wing power vacuum out there, and it should be very entertaining to watch what happens to it in the next 11 months.

From MSNBC.com:



Seriously - isn't there a strong resemblance between one of the earlier incarnations of Bozo the Clown, and the Donald? I wonder what shoe size he wears, and how it compares to clown shoes?  Look at this recent photo of Trump, and this image of Bozo the clown, courtesy of tv acres; it's not just the hair, there is something about their expression that seems strongly similar...
