If the other GOP candidates are smart, they'll call Trump out as a coward

[phantom power]

If the other clown-car passengers can't spin Trump as a coward for blowing off a debate, they really don't deserve to win.

1. I'm not convinced it will work

But I expect Fox to lead the way on Trump slamming

3. I'm really not convinced anybody will try.

Trump currently seems to have a bit of invulnerability-mystique about him. Somebody needs to show the natives he bleeds like a man.

10. They have less than a week

to knock off the leader of their polls. If they're too timid to deal with donnie, they useless and I certainly wouldn't want them to anywhere near the levers of power.

2. WRONG. In the GOP, his sensitive behaviour is perceived as strength and courage.

How do we find out which GOP-candidate has the most courage in dealing with terrorists?
Clearly the one who panicks and freaks out the most.

Trump delivers drama. Drama is strength. Delivering a freak-out in polite society is strength.

And that's why GOP-voters see his refusal to face criticism as strength.

4. Trump will get more mention at this debate and wont even be there. It's a win win for him

The rest of them will be focused on him all night.

[phantom power]

5. If they focus on him too much, and fail to convey proper contempt, then yes he'll win.

Which may very well happen.

6. Won't work.

I still don't think he is the nominee bit calling him a coward is a mistake.

[Wounded Bear]

7. Pretty sure none of that bunch has a clue...

about what true courage is, and thus don't really understand cowardice.

Won't matter. Ratings are king, so Trump really could shoot someone on national TV and be lauded for it by his sycophants.

We've truly become a reality TV country.

8. Megyn Kelly is vile

At 29, she was actively defending Experian to KEEP false information as a result of identity theft in people's credit report. This was in 1999, before there was identity theft protections in law.

[BillZBubb]

9. That attack would fail. No believes he is afraid of Megyn Kelly or FAUX.

In reality it is more politically courageous to take on FAUX.

If you think this issue is about courage at all, your understanding of the word is weak.
