Ronald Reagan Skipped Last Debate Before IA Caucus – Went on to Win in Landslide

[jimnyc]

I know, admittedly a fair amount of Trump threads. These were found on Drudgereport, and as expected, the news is all over the place today due to him dropping out of the debate. But I will add 2 posts in this thread.

-----

On Tuesday night Donald Trump and the Trump campaign announced that GOP frontrunner Trump will skip the FOX News GOP Primary debate this week in Iowa.

Trump is not the first Republican candidate to skip a debate.
Ronald Reagan skipped the Republican debate ahead of the 1980 Iowa caucus.
Bloomberg reported:

Trump isn’t the first top-tier presidential candidate to skip a debate. Ronald Reagan did not attend a Republican debate ahead of the 1980 Iowa caucuses, which he lost to George H.W. Bush. Reagan went on to the win the nomination and the presidency.

I wondered about that. Thanks for the post.

To be honest, I have little interest in it now. I certainly don't want to watch the media ho gloat.

That sounds very high to me.

I will be watching, but admittedly, Kelly's voice has become like nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

Abbey, I think in real life you and I would be very good friends.
