Donald Trump offered to host a GOP debate in December and is teaming up with Newsmax, a conservative magazine and news Web site, to moderate a presidential debate in Des Moines, Iowa on Dec. 27th.
Ron Paul is among the first to decline the invitation in no uncertain terms saying through his campaign chairman, that his proposal is ?wildly inappropriate? and ?flies in the face of that office?s history and dignity.? Trump, who briefly considered a presidential bid himself, announced yesterday that he will team up with Newsmax.. Jon Huntsman also declined. There has been no word from the other candidates so far, according to the Daily Beast.
Some media reports are claiming the legitamacy and dignity of a political debate hosted by Mr. Trump, and Twitter reports are echoing the some of the same sentiments.
On Twitter, Pourmecoffee quipped, ?Clown to host circus.?
Newsmax sent candidates the invitation on Friday afternoon. It began, ?We are pleased to cordially invite you to ?The Newsmax Ion Television 2012 Presidential Debate,? moderated by a truly great American, Mr. Donald J. Trump.? Spokesmen for several candidates did not immediately respond to questions from The New York Times about whether they would accept.
Mr Trump is expected to announce an endorsement after the debates. In 2008 he endorsed John McCain, but his backing over the years has been for both Democrats and Republicans.
Since the 1990 U.S. elections, Donald Trump has made contributions to campaigns of both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates. These have included Republicans John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush and Democrats Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Charles Rangel), according to wikipedia.
