Real Estate Mogul Donald TrumpReal estate mogul Donald Trump has decided to pull out of a Republican debate he had agreed to moderate in Iowa later this month after most of the candidates turned down his invitation to participate, according to sources from Fox News Channel Tuesday. The only Republican candidates that agreed to participate in the Iowa debate are former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. The other Republican candidates declined to participate. In a statement to Fox News, Trump attributed the low attendance to the possibility that he might launch his own independent run for the White House. Trump declared since he wasn't willing to give up his right to run as independent candidate, he decided to pull out of moderating the debate so there wouldn't be "a conflict of interest within the Republican party." He also stated that the American people are embarrassed by the gridlock that's taking place within Washington and that he must leave all his options open because above all else we must make America a great nation again.
Donald Trump was supposed to be the moderate of a Newsmax debate held on Tuesday December 27, 2011. As of right now, Newsmax, a conservative publication, has determined to postpone the debate originally scheduled December 27th until an undetermined date. I personally believe the reason why most of the Republican presidential candidates declined to participate in the Newsmax debate is because they don't want to have to answer questions that Trump would bring to the debate. Trump asks the questions that need to be asked such as the birth certificate issue he mentioned earlier this past Spring. I've questioned whether or not Trump is an Obama operative designed to spoil next year's presidential election, but regardless whether he does or doesn't, he'll ask the questions that need to be asked such as the subject of "free trade" and the loss of numerous manufacturing jobs to other countries. He'll also ask questions about illegal immigration that the Republican candidates probably don't desire to be asked. There have been questions that the mainstream media (including Fox News) refuse to ask. I'm not surprised that most of the GOP candidates have declined to participate in the debate on December 27, 2011. They don't want any questions of accountability and these candidates aren't about winning next year's election. They're are running as a filler candidate for the Republican opposition next year. These debates are nothing but a joke.
