I can’t miss Donald Trump in the debates

One recent morning I read where Donald Trump indicated that he would not participate in any upcoming debates held by the Republican National Committee (RNC). His argument is that the RNC did not even consult him on holding the debates, let alone where and when. So, he takes his ball and goes home.

Not being a Republican (or Democrat for that matter), these debates offer voters a chance to hear from the candidates their ideas and positions on a wide range of topics. If Trump is around, I think all we’ll hear is him complaining about how he lost the last election. I seriously doubt he has any position on the subjects facing the country.

This country is in dire need of people who can offer great ideas and who can communicate those ideas to the public. I can’t miss Trump this fall and look forward to candidates who can engage in meaningful dialogue.
