Trump has rejected a joint letter to TV network hosts regarding upcoming primary debates drafted Sunday at a private gathering of operatives from at least 11 presidential campaigns. A Trump spox denied their policy had changed. "As we have for the three previous debates, the Trump campaign will continue to negotiate directly with the host network."
While two of Trump's aides attended the Sunday meeting, they were far from ready to sign a letter, and they left the session unconvinced that a cooperative push on the debates would be helpful to protecting Trump's front-runner status, or providing him with the most possible air time on primetime stages.
The campaigns for Chris Christie and John Kasich confirmed they wouldn't sign the letter. "As the governor stated on TV this morning, 'Stop complaining. Do me a favor, set up a stage, put podiums up there and let's just go. OK?" Christie spox Sam Smith said in an email
