I want to be candid: I do not yet know at this moment whether I intend to watch the Republican Party’s presidential primary debate tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

The so-called “frontrunner,” Donald John Trump, says he won’t attend. Which brings me to this: What’s the point of watching if the main man ain’t there?<\/p>\n

GOP operatives say Trump is scared sh**less of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who has made Trump’s unfitness for office the focal point of his campaign. Christie no doubt will push hard on that notion in Trump’s absence.<\/p>\n

I have no clue what runs through what passes for Trump’s mind. He doesn’t have a heart, so there’s no need to wonder about that, right?<\/p>\n

Well, I reckon I’ll probably watch it just to get a grip on how far the rest of the field will go in taking down this charlatan\/fraud\/pretender.<\/p>\n

Then again, a major part of me also wants to see how Trump would defend himself against the allegations that will bombard Trump’s empty podium.<\/p>\n\n
