quote [ “Let’s see how much money Fox is going to make on the debate without me,” he said at a news conference here.
Fox News said Mr. Trump’s refusal to debate his rivals was “near unprecedented.” ] Donald Trump refusing a chance for more publicity? Now I've seen everything.
Incidentally, something similar happened in Germany last weekend.
With our upcoming regional elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, the TV station SWR wanted to host a political debate starring the front runners of all parties with chances to get into the regional parliament. The current minister-president (head of government) of Rhineland-Palatinate, Malu Dreyer, refused to come to the debate if the candidate of extreme right-wing party AFD (think tea party sans religion and with even more conspiracy theory) would also be invited. Hearing this, SWR offered to host two debates - one with just the candidates for the parties currently in parliament, the second for parties trying to get in. However, hearing this, now the front runner for CDU, the largest opposition party in Rhineland-Palatinate, Julia Klöckner, refused to come to that debate, simply because she refused to let her political opponent have their way. Without her attendance, the political "debate" would have only features the two parties currently governing Rhineland-Palatinate, and thus, SWR cancelled the entire event, telling both sides to kindly reconsider. And people wonder why AFD looks reasonable in comparison.

Which is to say, he doesn't know the answers to any of the questions. Only that doesn't seem to bother anyone. She asked him why he kept saying shitty things about women, he said she sucks as a reporter, now everybody's talking about a feud, and who's winning the feud, instead of asking him to answer the fucking question: why does he keep saying shitty things about women?

I watched Trump being interviewed on CNN. Talking about the middle east, half a dozen times he said he would "take their oil" - the interviewer never once said "how the fuck are you going to do that?"
