Trump reveals himself as a common blackmailer.

COMMENTS: 
*  Tell him to go eff himself. If he doesn't want to show up, I'm sure we'll see his opinion of him self the next day all over the rest of the media anyway, so no great loss.
*  CNN should do exactly what Trump doesn't want: ignore him, do not even give him an answer. I'm sure he is not going to pass up an opportunity to be on TV.
*  They should offer 5 million to Wounded Warriors on the condition that Trump doesn't show up. See what Donny Boy would say to that.
*  The head gop circus clown seems to be losing his grip on reality more and more, with each passing day.
*  Here is a different approach.  Charge the candidates to be in the debate.
*  so Trump is a blackmailer trying to sound like he's not. If CNN pays him the $5 mil, it should pay every candidate that shows up $5 mil

Donald Trump Threatens CNN: Pay Me $5 Million or I Won’t Show Up for Debate
By Jordan Charlton, December 1, 2015

Donald Trump threatened CNN on Monday by promising to withdraw from the next Republican presidential debate on Dec. 15 unless the network pays him $5 million.

In front of a Georgia crowd, the real estate mogul said, “How about I tell CNN, who doesn’t treat me properly … I’m not gonna do the next debate, okay?”

He then got more serious:”I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which goes to Wounded Warriors or goes to vets.”

Trump’s demand ginned up the crowd; he went on to rip the network for what he perceives to be unfair coverage that takes him out of context.

After making the $5 million demand, Trump predicted CNN would paint him as a “chicken” who just doesn’t want to debate.

“The problem is they’ll say ‘Trump is chicken,'” he said. “One thing I’m not is chicken, okay?”

It’s unlikely Trump will follow through on his threat to bow out of the debate considering his status atop the GOP primary field and ramifications he’d endure with CNN.

CNN didn’t immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment regarding Trump’s demand.
