The freaking circus continues....
Thanks, but no thanks, Donald.
Two Republican contenders for the White House say they find the idea of reality TV star Donald Trump hosting a Republican primary debate absurd.
The event has the GOP party chairman dodging questions on whether candidates should show up for the circus.
Republican candidate Rep. Ron Paul called Trumps invite clown-like and said he couldn't understand why Republicans continue to take Trump seriously, or why so many candidates trekked one-by-one to New York trying to get his endorsement.
I dont quite understand the marching to his office," Paul said Sunday on CNN's State of the Union. I didn't realize he had the ability to lay on hands and anoint people.
Former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman had no use either for Trump as the moderator of a Trump/Newsmax debate in Iowa.
Front-runner Newt Gingrich who has his own reputation as a showboater is so far the only public acceptance for the event.
I would want to go just for the entertainment value, Gingrich said, according to Forbes. I cant imagine what a debate hosted by Donald Trump would be like.
Neither, apparently, can Republican party chairman Reince Priebus, who wouldn't endorse the idea of a Trunp-led debate.
I think these are programs that each of these candidates have to decide for themselves, Priebus said Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.
There is strategy involved, whether competing or not competing.
