5 pts up. A few days from Iowa. No harm no foul.

Can blame it on a spat with the media (who GOPers typically hate).

He can do his own event and get some of it televised on CNN of him just at the podium.

It might not go over but I think the chances are in his favor it will.

his event that will crash the viewership ratings of the debate. He'll be sending a message that he is the reason they had such big ratings for the previous debates. He is also sending a message to the Repug Party that if they mess with him he's prepared to go it alone - as a third party candidate. This is getting interesting.

And I think TPTB in the republican party are starting to panic. I can't say I'm not fascinated by the dynamic. Trump, like all sociopaths, is really good at reading people, but it's pretty interesting to watch him call Fox on their shit. Turns out not only is he not as dumb as they thought but his ego is much, much bigger than anyone guessed or they would've done something to shoo him out before now. Now it's just too late, LOL. Pity for them. Possibly a large disaster for everyone else.
