Trump withdraws as moderator of Iowa debate

Donald Trump

Donald Trump withdrew Tuesday as the moderator of a debate planned for later this month in Iowa, citing his interest in possibly still running for president as an independent. Trump pulled out of a debate he had planned to host along with the conservative magazine Newsmax, scheduled for Dec. 27, just days before the Iowa caucuses. All the GOP presidential candidates save for Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum said they would not participate.

Senh: How about Donald Trump just admit the truth - that he couldn't get enough candidates to participate in the debate, and that's why it was cancelled.

Is it too late to fire the moderator? Two more Republican candidates -- Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry -- said thanks but no thanks to an invitation to participate in an Iowa debate managed by real estate mogul Donald Trump.

Senh: It's officially NOT a circus. I'm glad the Republican candidates have a line they won't cross... Well, except for Newt Gingrich.

 

Gingrich agrees to Donald Trump debate

Newt Gingrich has said "yes" to The Donald. Gingrich yesterday became the first GOP presidential candidate to accept an invitation to a Dec. 27 debate in Iowa moderated by Donald Trump. "I would want to go just for the entertainment value," Gingrich told reporters after a campaign event Saturday. "I can't imagine what a debate hosted by Donald Trump would be like."
