Donald Trump to Negotiate Directly with Networks on Presidential Debates

Well, it least he's looking to negotiate directly, and frankly, I'll bet he does.

At WaPo, "Trump's campaign says he'll negotiate directly with TV networks on debates":

The format and content of upcoming Republican debates became increasingly uncertain on Monday after Donald Trump’s campaign said the real estate mogul would negotiate his terms directly with television executives instead of as part of a joint effort with his rivals.

The move by Trump, coming just hours after his and other campaigns huddled in a Washington suburb to craft a three-page letter of possible demands, thwarts an effort to find consensus after what most candidates agreed was a debacle hosted by CNBC last week.

As a celebrity billionaire who has been a leading factor in drawing record ratings, Trump has little interest in working to promote the wishes of his opponents, his allies said...

Smart.

I wouldn't be promoting the interest of my opponents either, especially Jeb Bush.
