Donald Trump says he will not participate in the next GOP presidential debate on Monday in Utah because “we’ve had enough debates.”
The front runner for the Republican presidential nomination said Wednesday on Fox News that he’s committed to a big speech the same night.
Trump says he didn’t know about the March 21 event until Tuesday night, when he won critical primaries in Illinois, North Carolina and Florida.
Without Trump, the only two onstage would be Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who won his home state in the same contests Tuesday, and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. It would be a clash of potential alternatives as each man maneuvers to claim the mantle of credible alternative to the brash billionaire who has controlled the race for months.

If anyone needs a reason to rally against Trump, this is it.
Of course he wants to skip the debate. Now that the stage is clear, the questions will all focus on policy, of which he has none. In a policy debate with Cruz, Trump has no chance of winning. So he’s making up a story about “we’ve had enough debates.”
Oh, and if you believe he didn’t know about the event, I’ve got a bridge I’d love to sell you. Wake up, Republicans, this guy is taking cues right from Obama’s playbook: the president who never knows about anything until he reads it in the papers just like you do.
