Donald Trump and Newsmax Should Host a GOP Debate, Not MSNBC and CNN

No! A debate sponsored by News Max would indeed be a good thing. The fatal mistake News Max made was to call for Trump to moderate...a person who still could run for president and would be guaranteed to frame the debate around making him look good. I don't understand how News Max missed that. Ratings does not make for a good priority in getting the message of the candidates out when the focus would be how Trump would promote his "brilliance". His reality shows are a circus with him as ring master and so would this debate. If Huntsman or Paul didn't get a fair shake in the other debates do you really think that if they did attend this one they wouldn't be even more shut out by the blow hard that announced their candidacies to be "jokes"? What News Max has accomplished is not another opportunity to air a serious discussion, rather another reason for voters not to take Republicans seriously in the next election. I am a long standing Republican going back to my first election voting for Ronald Reagan. Reagan would have been the first to have opted out of a circus like this...he revered the office of president too dearly. I don't need Trump to try and steer my vote...I'll figure it out without this debate. I have watched every debate...but I won't be watching this train wreck. How's that for ratings?
