The real estate mogul announced Tuesday that he was stepping back in order to preserve the option of running for president in case he’s not satisfied that the eventual Republican nominee can defeat President Barack Obama.

I don't see how preserving that option is going to make a difference...wait...no...he thinks he has a chance against Barak Obama!? Hahahahaha! Donald old boy, your HAIR has a better chance! Why? Because your hair has not identified itself as a birther and not yet dishonored a promise! (still waiting for those financial records pal)

"But the debate has been in jeopardy ever since Mitt Romney signaled he would not participate. Other candidates bowed out. Only Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum agreed to take part."

Rats, sinking ship. They KNOW they'll make utter fools of themselves so they're running (and making utter fools of themselves anyway). Not ONE of these candidates is qualified for the job of President. Trump running wouldn't change that fact either.

Watch and learn... Obama has almost made ANY contender distinctly more likely to be elected. The fracus is disturbing but the rally will center around one shortly and then the fun will REALLY begin; exposing Obama for the fraud he is!!

@okimike67, "my kids dirty diaper [is] distinctly more likely to be elected"

That sounds like a wee bit of hyperbole. You would have to legally register the diaper with a name, social security number, and verify that it is more than 25 years old, to even pass the minimum eligibility to be a write in candidate. Then you would have the massive task of making the soiled diaper appealing to any rational observer. The only hope I see for your plan is a clean, green campaign using a washable cloth diaper. Mr. Clean could be its running mate.

Ah, so that's why such a menagerie of losers feel they can beat him while the smart ones (Mitch Daniel, Christie, etc.) have stayed away.

What a joke. Like the whole republican field of misfits and moral losers.

What does this all mean, another landslide victory for Obama. Lets face it, he is the only thing preventing the republicans from driving the world economy to a full blown depression. Without Obama in the White House the USA is toast. He already saved the country once from the bush failures.

Anyway, Newts 15 minutes of leading the pack is almost over. Who will be next? Maybe the Herminater can make a come back . . .

Saved the US from what exactly?

Trump hosting a debate for the Re-publicans is like Obama's friend Blagovitch hosting for Democrats.

This is the USA voters' facial expression that the debate will not happen. This is the USA voters' facial expression that the debate will happen. Any difference? Exactly! Narcissism is not acceptable in any country's election. It is a good reason to vote for someone else, especially someone who did not lead in a national emergency.

LOL!!

Amazing that Trump thinks he's still in with a chance.

Even more amazing is that the GOP/TP candidates who haven't already quit or received a major beat down in the polls think they actually have an ice cube's chance in hell of beating the president.

Fools and their dreams are not easily separated it seems.

Meanwhile, the conservative candidate clown show lurches on.......

Which conservative is next on the list to be mercilessly attacked by .....conservatives?

The kiss of death.

Bye bye Mitt Romney. Nice ...ehhrrrr.....seeing your well coiffed hair. :-)

Sushi - Why is O'Donnell's endorsement the kiss of death?

Serrano - "Sushi - Why is O'Donnell's endorsement the kiss of death?"

LOL!!!! An American asking a non-American this question - one of the funniest things I've seen all day.

Serrano, sit down, take a deep breath, put on a large black pointy hat and black cloak, stir up your udon in a boiling pot over an open fire, then look in the mirror.

If a non-American has to explain to you why O'Donnell's endorsement is the kiss of death, sheeeshhh, really?

Is there actually a card carrying Republican out there who can admit to being appalled by not only the state of the current party and their reject candidates, but to the level of debate their supporters have slumped to?

Surely this/these people exist?

Sushi - Heh heh - could you at least tell us if O'Donnll's endorsement will be the kiss of death for Romney's hopes for the Republican nomination or just in the election against Obama?

Serrano, heh heh, you STILL don't know? :-)

Exactly, exactly...

Sushi, heh heh, you STILL can't answer the question? Exactly, exactly!

Considering only Gingrich and Santorum had agreed to show up to this farce, I think this is the second wise decision Trump has made regarding this election.
