FOX News Scores Big With GOP Presidential Debate Without Trump

1 Comment

imageDES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles ) – A new Gallup poll conducted minutes after Donald Trump confirmed he would not be participating in the GOP presidential debate in Iowa already shows a winner : FOX News.

Trump’s refusal to join his Republican colleagues Thursday night was prompted by accusations that FOX News was biased against him, especially news anchor and debate moderator Megyn Kelly.

Of those polled, 98 percent said they would be watching a Trump-less debate, compared with only 16 percent who would be watching if Trump were among the candidates on stage in Des Moines.

Ever since Trump announced his presidential bid, FOX News ratings have consistently plummeted because viewers didn’t want to hear any news about the billionare candidate or his stupid ideas. Television news audiences — Republicans included — have been turning to ‘The Daily Show’ With Trevor Noah which has been airing endless segments making fun of Trump.

Tomorrow’s debate could significantly bring back FOX News loyal viewers who have strayed away. And then some.

Sarah Palin Will Stand In For Donald Trump In Thursday’s Republican Presidential Debate

Leave a comment

imageDES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has confirmed that he will not be participating in Thursday’s FOX News GOP Debate in Iowa.

Trump’s campaign said that the billionaire real estate mogul is skipping the debate because of an ongoing rift with FOX News, particularly Megyn Kelly with whom he has had some feisty exchange in a previous FOX News debate. Trump believes that Kelly is biased against him.

But the center podium will not be vacant.

Trump announced today that former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin will stand in for him.  Palin just days ago formally endorsed the GOP frontrunner.

“We needed to have someone who could come face to face with another woman debate moderator like Kelly so that the playing field would be more fair and square, the Trump campaign said, adding that ” in as far as policies and ideologies are concerned, the governor and Trump are on the same footing.”

Donald Trump Freaking Out About Possible Michael Bloomberg Presidential Run

Leave a comment

imageNEW YORK, New York (The Adobo Chronicles) – For the first time since he launched his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, Billionaire Donald Trump is nervous. Very nervous. In fact, he is freaking out!

Trump, who doesn’t have any problem touting his riches,  may not be rich enough compared to former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg who today announced a  possible third-party bid for president, telling allies he could spend at least $1 Billion to mount the uphill climb, according to the New York Times.

Bloomberg’s net worth is estimated at $36.5 Billion, compared to Trump’s $4.5 Billion.

Records from the Federal Elections Commission show that Trump has spent $5.6 Million on his campaign so far.  He has raised $5.8 Million, including a $1.8 Million personal loan. That’s peanuts compared to the $1 Billion that Bloomberg plans to spend on his presidential bid.

Has Trump finally found his match in the 2016 presidential elections?  Or shall we say, mismatch?
