Paul campaign calls Trump debate ‘wildly inappropriate’
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com...inappropriate/
(CNN) - At least two Republican presidential hopefuls are declining to participate in a debate moderated by real estate mogul Donald Trump.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman will both skip the debate, citing concerns about the seriousness of the event.
In a campaign statement released Saturday, Paul's campaign called the debate a distraction from the real issues of the campaign.
"The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office's history and dignity," Jesse Benton, Ron Paul's national campaign chairman, said in a statement.
He added, "Mr. Trump's participation as moderator will distract from questions and answers concerning important issues such as the national economy, crushing federal government debt, the role of the federal government, foreign policy, and the like. To be sure, Mr. Trump's participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere."
Benton cited Trump's flirtation with running for president himself as a factor in the decision not to participate in the debate.
"Mr. Trump's selection is also wildly inappropriate because of his record of toying with the serious decision of whether to compete for our nation's highest office, a decision he appeared to make frivolously," Benton said.
Reacting to the Paul campaign's comments, Trump slammed Paul as a non-electable candidate.
"As I said in the past and will reiterate again, Ron Paul has a zero chance of winning either the nomination or the Presidency," Trump said in a statement to CNN. "My poll numbers were substantially higher than any of his poll numbers, at any time, and when I decided not to run, due to the equal time provisions concerning my hit show The Apprentice, I was leading the Republican field."
Trump announced in May he would not seek the nomination.
In his statement, Trump said he was pleased to hear that Paul and Huntsman would be skipping the debate.
"Few people take Ron Paul seriously and many of his views and presentation make him a clown-like candidate," Trump said. "I am glad he and Jon Huntsman, who has inconsequential poll numbers or a chance of winning, will not be attending the debate and wasting the time of the viewers who are trying very hard to make a very important decision."
Huntsman's campaign said Friday the former Utah governor wouldn't be making an appearance at the event.
"We have declined to participate in the 'Presidential Apprentice' Debate with The Donald," Huntsman spokesman Tim Miller said in a statement. "The Republican Party deserves a serious discussion of the issues so voters can choose a leader they trust to defeat President Obama and turn our economy around."
On Friday, the conservative online publication Newsmax announced they were sponsoring the Trump-moderated debate on December 27. It will be held in Des Moines, Iowa, just days before the state holds its first-in-the-nation caucus.
Candidates for the 2012 GOP nomination have been meeting with Trump since this summer. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, businessman Herman Cain and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann have all met with "The Apprentice" host at least once. On Thursday, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he would be meeting with Trump on Monday.

It's more a reflection of the clownish nature of the rest of these politicians that they would take this stunt seriously. This also demonstrates their instinctive acquiescence to anyone with power and money. Hope this backfires for all of these lapdogs. Paul and huntsman will probably suffer for their apparent integrity.
May the plop be on you.

Oy Vey!
I think this is just a stunt for Trump to better publicize himself, and tell all these bozos that show up, "You're Fired"!The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.

What I find wrong with this is that he's also going to run for the Presidency.

He wasn't going to let Paul speak more than 3 minutes anyway. The public would rather see Romney and Perry take grinning jabs at each other.

Politicians are little more than smiley glad handed bullshit salesmen. It's astonishing how anyone believes in this sideshow anymore.

Maybe there are no more "top" people. I feel that everything has become so specialized and disconnected that no one can really pull things together and make sense anymore. I don't think anyone really understands how things work because we have too many layers of complexity. Originally Posted by IronAddict

nor is he even a entrepreneur (he flips commercial re-estate big fucking deal or slaps his cheesy name on the side of a building for big $$$) if not for bankruptcy protection of big corps he wouldn't have jack squat. it's real hard to "stay rich" when you come from money and all the laws are on your side.

Phuq donald trump. This guy ripped people off by putting signs on near the freeways saying he'll teach you how to buy and sell real estate for the paltry sum of 200.00 bucks, and then scammed you!

Great! WTF would they even consider having that ass clown moderate the debate. He's already made enough of a mockery of the whole process and they should all refuse to participate if they want to be taken seriously. This could really help Barry's re-election bid if it ends up being a circus-like atmosphere.

Paul and Huntsman will indeed suffer. The others will be playing it up during the "debate." It also panders to the lowest common denominator of the public, which is pretty much all of it. Originally Posted by withoutrulers

Meh, you'd be surprised at how capitalist it is over here nowadays. It's probably less socialist and more capitalist, in reality, than the US&A. Most everyone in the middle and upper middle class over here has their day job, as well as what they call "gray income". That is, ways to make $ on the side that you don't report. It's especially easy to make $ if you're a westerner. To a lot of folks here, having an enlish speaking westerner working for them is kind of like.... well, a brutha having a white woman on his arm. Of course, it helps a lot moar if you can speak the language fluently, but it's not completely necessary.

Having the Don moderate a repub debate is about like having Rosie O'Donnel or Al Sharpton moderate a dem debate.
