Looks like Donald Trump wanted to quit before he was fired: Trump pulls out of GOP debate.

Trump said in his statement that Republicans were reluctant to appear at the debate because he was unwilling to rule out an independent bid for the presidency.

Also because Trump is a clown.

“It is very important to me that the right Republican candidate be chosen to defeat the failed and very destructive Obama administration, but if that Republican, in my opinion, is not the right candidate, I am not willing to give up my right to run as an Independent candidate,” Trump said in a statement. “Therefore, so that there is no conflict of interest within the Republican Party, I have decided not to be the moderator of the Newsmax debate.”

Hilarious! This leaves two candidates and no moderator, and when last we heard from Newsmax, they were still planning to go ahead with the debate. It may not be too late to call Orly Taitz.
