 The New York Times reported today that the right-wing magazine Newsmax will have Donald Trump moderate a Republican presidential debate later this month. What's to stop him from manipulating the debate to aid his favored candidate? VAN SUSTEREN: All right, one of the responses already, even though the news is basically -- hot off the press -- is from Governor Huntsman, and his campaign spokesperson says "We have declined to participate in the presidential apprentice debate with the Donald. Trump told Baier, "Sometime after that debate, I'll probably endorse somebody." Huntsman declined to meet with Trump at his New York offices, his campaign said, though Trump said last month that it was he who declined to meet Huntsman.
– Donald Trump may be hosting a Republican debate later this month, but Jon Huntsman for one wants no part of it. "We look forward to watching Mitt and Newt suck up to The Donald with a big bowl of popcorn," a spokesman tells Business Insider. Trump tells Fox News he doesn't care because Huntsman isn't a "serious candidate." Ever the ratings-conscious showman, the Donald also says he might just endorse someone after the Dec. 27 debate, notes Media Matters. (Click for the Huntsman daughters' latest video.)
