FOLLOWING THE RESULTS of the Republican party’s ‘Super Tuesday’ primaries, it looks like one of Donald Trump’s opponents is dropping out.
In a statement this evening, the Republican candidate has said that he will not be attending the Fox News debate which will take place in his home city of Detroit tomorrow evening.
While not unequivocally withdrawing his candidacy, he went on to say:
I do not see a political path forward in light of last evening’s Super Tuesday primary results.
Despite this, he also said that his ‘We the People’ grassroots campaign will continue.
“We must not depart from from our goals to restore what God and our founders intended for this exceptional nation,” he said.
Further details of exactly what his intentions are for the future of this movement will be announced at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday.
The announcement comes on foot of big wins for Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the Democrat and Republican primaries respectively.
Frontrunner Trump managed to take seven of 11 states and, with what seemed to be one eye on consolidating broader Republican party support, dialed down his usual bombast rhetoric during his acceptance speech.
“I think we’ll be more inclusive and more unified. I think we’ll be a much bigger party,” he said.

So Trump! Your new BFF is still playing you….as he has since the beginning. Nice photo opportunities though.
@Paul Furey: He’s not playing him. The fact is DPRK have nuclear weapons with long range now. This puts them automatically in a better bargaining position than they were before. It is a development that is completely independent of who happens to be president of another country. Trump has advisors for every step.
Is this submarine parked in the middle of a forest?
@Martin McFly: Very sneaky. Last place you’d look for it.
Meanwhile Iran‘s revolutionary guards reveal plan to annihilate Israel.
@Qfire: Its unfortunate that this has been largely ignored by the worlds press. You can be sure if Israeli leaders issued a statement promising to wipe an Islamic country off the map ( for the crime of Islamic nationalism) there’d be a media feeding frenzy.
@Clifford Brennan: Maybe it’s largely ignored because it’s not true? Israel wouldn’t be the first to make up a story to justify spending on their war machine.
@Jim Buckley Barrett: It was very decent of the Ayatollah & the commander from the IRGC to agree to appear in the Israeli propaganda video – not to mention the supporting cast of 1000′s of Iranians and all filmed at an Islamic religious venue too. Those Israelis have it sussed. Also: cop on.
North Korea is not going to be told not to have Nuclear Weapons by a leader whose country has had them for many many years, come in and blasted leaders and sent their soldiers to Hassan Hussein [having supplied him with weaponry] and when it did not suit them anymore… raped and pillaged Iraq. When are people going to think US are the good guys ? NKorea just flexing muscles.
That man is actually frightening. He’s like a little boy playing with his toys.
As you do before talks about nuclear arms enrichment.
