Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up.
Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition, but first.
On this Monday, recent report says that Donald Trump will not participate in upcoming presidential debates.
And Mr. Trump himself confirmed that on social media.
His reasoning is this.
All the moderators hate me.
the media covering the debates hate me, the other candidates will try to slime me, so why should
I do it? And if you think about it, that analysis makes sense, but only if Donald Trump keeps his
commanding lead in the Republican polls. There are two races, as you know. The primary to get the
nomination, and Donald Trump, at this point, of course it could change, has a far, far lead
on Governor DeSantis for the primary nomination. But then there's the general election against
the Democrat. Joe Biden, maybe. I still think that the man is so impaired. They're going to have
to pull him, but that's a minority opinion, and I could be wrong. So Trump is putting all his
resources and thought at this point into winning the Republican primary. That's why he's
trashing DeSantis. And is that a wise strategy? Well, you got to get the nomination to get
to the big show. But he says, no debates. And remember, in 2016, he skipped the Fox News
debate because of Megan Kelly. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
