Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump suggested to a Georgia crowd Monday night that he may charge CNN $5 million to appear at the next GOP primary debate, money he said could go to wounded warriors or veterans.

Looking ahead to the next Republican debate, to be hosted by the network on December 15, Trump said: “How about we do this with CNN? I won't do the debate unless they pay me $5 million and the money goes to wounded warriors or vets.”

Trump justified his price tag by saying that he has been a big ratings draw for those networks that have hosted the Republican primary debates.

The GOP hopeful has said in the past he wants networks to donate advertising profits to help military-related charities. However, at other times in his speech, he seemed more skeptical of the idea, telling the crowd of approximately 5,000 that the move would only be spun by his opponents.

"So what will happen is they'll say, ‘Oh, Trump is chicken,"' he said.

Trump flew to Georgia after meeting with dozens of black pastors in his Manhattan offices, and he said that the meeting went very well.

"It was a really terrific day," he said.

Trump's rally Monday evening featured the endorsement of black Georgia Republican Bruce LeVell, who has served as GOP chairman of Gwinett, a suburban Atlanta county. Herman Cain, a black business executive and radio host who ran for president in 2012, was among those introducing Trump.

As he has done at previous rallies, Trump boasted of his standing atop many GOP presidential preference polls. And he pledged to build a wide coalition. "I will win the Hispanics," he said.

However, Trump also emphasized what has been a constant theme of his campaign – his plan to protect the southern border.

"Our borders are like sieves," he said. "People are just pouring in."

He promised, again, that "we're gonna build a wall" and "Mexico is gonna pay for it."

At another point, he boomed: "If you don't have borders, you don't have a country. I'm sorry. ... We've gotta get our country back, folks."

I read that earlier before leaving for work.

He has a point but CNN will never do it. They'll come up with some cock and bull about how they already support the troops (a lie of course) and won't be blackmailed into doing so

What I do wonder is how they are going to downplay one of their staff calling for Oblowme to be impeached and calling him a wimp and traitor to America over his policy failures and lack of defending our borders and allies on the Syrian issue? Some former General with the state dept security started the noise....

They said Russia is doing Americas job because Oblowme is a wimp and wouldn't do what it takes to defeat ISIS, then one day before the Paris attacks saying we had ISIS contained while holding security documents/briefings saying a European country was going to be attacked within 48 hours....and sitting on it because he felt it wasn't relevant.

Wonder what youtube video he'll blame this one on?

Didn't Trump ask for this before?

It will never happen.. Not with CNN & probably not an major alphabet network in this administration.

But Trump is hot right now and if CNN doesn't...... who knows?

Why would the "Clinton News Network" pass that amount of money to the Competition of their most likely Candidate?

what candidate has blackmailed a network to be in a debate to RUN FOR PRESIDENT?

maybe to make an excuse for knowing how much more and more of an *** he is making himself look like and how out of his league he is

5 million for one showing,, thats probably maybe about as much as his foundation has given collectively in twenty years,,,

23 Million viewers during that one night for 2 hours of the debates. That's 20 million more than their record!

uhhhh.... how about the Clintons? Both of them!

Hitlery thought she was just going to be handed the crown after stepping aside for Oblowme like she was promised, but all the scandals and Uncle Bernie threw a wrench in her machine

do share,,,,,,,

She refused to be interviewed until she got paid before the debates, only doing "setup" interviews with questions from staff and supporters..... which she got busted for

Which also exposed the Clinton Foundation donation fiasco.....

But you probably didn't hear that on CNN......

Given Ted "the turd" Turner's history,
most of the vets I know, have already stated quite clearly,
that they, "don't want a damned thing, from that treasonous s.o.b.".

Or Hanoi Jane his wife

thats true, also havent heard exactly what Trump the billionaire donates to charity HIMSELF,,,,

Donald Trump Charity Work, Events and Causes

and just when I thought I would find the elusive information

a list of causes someone 'supports' , isnt the same as 'how much' they donate

Ms, You missed the point.
Trump wants the money to go to the wounded warriors or veterans aid not for himself.

so why doesn't he give it to them? he has plenty of it,,lol

the ducking a debate,, is for him

From what little I saw of the "Debates", he won't miss much if he does.
No legit questions from the libs, just a bunch of crap questions. I'm sure that Trump would be glad to show his donations if needed.
I would like to see the donations of Fairykahn, Sharpton, Bill and Hillary's foundation and even Obamas.




But that won't happen either.

farrakhan, nor sharpton are running for political office and calling out others on their donations


Im positive I could find all kinds of information on bill and hilary and obamas donations


and trump has been very stingy with his own records, not even willing to simply validate with records his actual worth....

farrakhan and sharpton are not running for political office for obvious reasons.
I don't know if Trump could be any more transparent than our current
"Liar in chief".
