Shermichael Singleton: Going After Trump Would Be a ‘Terrible Mistake’ in GOP Presidential Debate

EXCERPT:

SINGLETON: "Yeah, I think he can afford to miss the debate, Fred. Remember, this isn’t the first time that Donald Trump has skipped the debate. He did this before on one or two different occasions, and then eventually he showed up and didn’t miss any additional debates. So, I suspect he’ll skip this one. And the others to follow, I believe he’ll be present. But with that said, Fred, if you look at this recent CBS poll that came out, Republican voters do not want to see the other candidates going after Trump. So if that is a significant portion of Chris Christie’s strategy, I would think it’s a mistake. They want to hear from the other candidates what their plans are, what distinguishes them from everyone else, and why they should consider them as a potential candidate. But going after Trump and Trump alone, I think would be a terrible mistake."
