I think Donald Trump realizes he might have made a mistake in dropping out of the Republican debate in Iowa tomorrow night. So what to do? He obviously can't eat crow and asked to be taken back ... his ego would not permit. Alternatively he is going to stage his own charity event for the benefit of the Wounded Warriors Foundation ... hoping to draw attention and audience away from the debate ... see: Military Times Article.
The choice of this charity is to deflect criticism away from his petulant fight with Megyn Kelly and Fox News who are also big supporters of veterans' causes. In other words, Trump, as he most often does, has assessed the maturity of the Iowa voters and found them wanting ... in that he can pull off this obvious misdirection.
It is clear Trump thinks he will be playing to the peanut gallery in Des Moines during the time of the Republican debate. Somehow I suspect he may be underestimating the maturity and perspicacity of the evangelical voters there ... and they should easily be able to see through this righteous ruse.
If I am right, then the Iowa caucuses on Monday will tell the tale.
