Trump's big debate gamble
Well, guess who's dominating another news cycle
for a controversial move. If you answered Donald Trump, you've been
paying attention to the past six months. Trump's announcement last night
that he will skip Thursday's Fox News debate in Iowa is a big gamble
that could be brilliant or disastrous for his campaign.
Here are four
reasons why it's potentially smart:
It essentially freezes a race that he's leading;
It turns Ted Cruz into the candidate with the target on his back at the debate;
It allows Trump to dominate another news cycle with just five days to go until Iowa;
And
it gives Trump the opportunity to demonstrate strength -- if he thinks
he's being treated unfairly, he has the power to walk away, which other
GOP candidates don't have.
