RUSH: Reports are circulating out there that Donald Trump is looking into canceling the debate that is set for December 27th. Michele Bachmann has pulled out. There\u2019s really only two people that are gonna show up, Newt and Santorum are the only two that plan on showing up. Everybody else said no. And we\u2019ve got a sound bite coming up. Trump is really disturbed about Bachmann. Apparently Bachmann\u2019s called him often, called him a lot of times, talked to him about becoming her vice president if she won the nomination. Apparently she was calling Trump seeking his advice. Here, let me find the bite. I may as well just play it here rather than tell you it\u2019s coming up on the program. Grab number 17. This was on Imus this morning on Fox Business Channel. The question: “Now, so only Gingrich, only Gingrich, you like him, by the way?”<\/p>\n
RUSH: All right, so Donald not happy with Michele Bachmann and Perry\u2019s not going and Romney\u2019s not going. It\u2019s only Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich that are going. I don\u2019t know if I believe this stuff about Trump looking into canceling the debate. It\u2019s still a television opportunity. And he\u2019s still dangling this carrot that he himself might run third party. Of course, there\u2019s a lot of pressure being put on Jon Huntsman to run as a third-party candidate as well. Here\u2019s the thing about this. Somebody is asking me why doesn\u2019t NewsMax just get another moderator? And it\u2019s true, Chris Ruddy is very close to the Clintons. Chris Ruddy could go ask the latest NBC hire, Chelsea Clinton, to moderate the debate. NewsMax could maybe get Bill Clinton to moderate the debate. But I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s — I guess it is. I\u2019m going back and forth, \u2019cause none of these candidates are saying why. Are they? If they have, I\u2019ve missed it. <\/p>\n
None of the candidates are saying why they\u2019re not doing the debate other than scheduling conflicts and that sort of stuff, but I don\u2019t think any of the candidates have said, “I\u2019m not doing that, Trump\u2019s moderating it.” I\u2019m not sure, so sure, that that\u2019s the sole reason why people are deciding not to do the Trump debate. I don\u2019t know that Trump is the sole reason. But we will find out in due course. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
