In reply to the discussion: Trump demands CNN pay him $5M to participate in next debate [View all]global1
(25,242 posts)2. Call His Bluff CNN - Don't Pay Him A Cent.....
You are sponsoring the debate so he could show what he is made of to become president of the U.S.
If he doesn't get paid - it's at his peril. The other candidates will be able to take advantage of his not showing up and gain or maybe even surpass his lead. He's only hurting himself. Call his bluff - don't pay him. Let him sit home and watch the debate and what the other candidates will have to say about him not being there.
After the debate is over - and he is taken down a notch - donate $5 million to the veterans. The veterans win. The American People win. CNN wins for standing up to this bully. And Trump loses.

It'd be nice if CNN could show show conviction and tell the dirtball to go fuck himself.

If people quit helping Evilhair by using his stage name, he will go away, and maybe go broke.
