Donald Trump Hits New Low, Threatens To Invite Gennifer Flowers To Debate
GOP Nominee’s Campaign Denies Bill Clinton Accuser Will Be In Attendance
Vice Presidential Nominee Gov. Mike Pence (R-IN) had this to say after stating that Gennifer Flowers will not be attending the first Presidential Debate tomorrow. Do you think the campaigns are playing games with front row seats? See the full interview today on Fox News Channel at 2pm & 2am ET.

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to reach a new low on Saturday, threatening to invite Gennifer Flowers to Monday’s debate against Democrat Hillary Clinton.Â
The threat came in response to Clinton’s apparent decision to invite Trump antagonist and Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban, as if the two are somehow comparable:Â
Just got a front row seat to watch @HillaryClinton overwhelm @realDonaldTrump at the “Humbling at Hofstra” on Monday. It Is On !

If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!

Not surprisingly, both Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, and his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, backed off the invitation on Sunday — after Flowers sent a text message to The New York Times saying she would be in attendance:Â
Trump campaign manager: “I cannot confirm” Gennifer Flowers will be at the debate https://t.co/1FIKzrf8Kb #CNNSOTU https://t.co/onjBsm7VJE

On @FoxNewsSunday @realDonaldTrump‘s running mate @mike_pence says Gennifer Flowers will not be attending tomorrow’s presidential debate

Appearing on Fox News on Sunday morning (video above), Pence shamelessly defended Trump’s threat.Â
President Bill Clinton has admitted to having an extramarital affair with Flowers in 1977.Â
Of course, Trump’s second marriage grew out of an affair during his first, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying to use Bill Clinton’s infidelities against Hillary.
Despite the statements from Conway and Pence, another Trump adviser suggested Sunday it’s still possible Flowers will attend the debate:Â
Gen. Flynn says we’ll have to wait to see whether Gennifer Flowers attends tomorrow’s debate & hits Clinton campaign for inviting Mark Cuban

Needless to say, regardless of whether Flowers attends, the mere threat says everything you need to know about Trump.Â
Trump demeans political debate with the Flowers move. He’s not a serous person. Spends more time on stunts/name-calling than policy/issues.

Anyone who believes Trump has maturity to be president is either a bully or simply doesn’t get the insanity of his Gennifer Flowers stunt.

Every article that mentions Gennifer Flowers should include this fact: Donald Trump has admitted cheating on his wife/wives.

Trump’s Flowers tweet lays bare his misogyny — and lack of substantive argument. His best attack vs HRC is that her husband cheated? 🙄

Trump inviting Gennifer Flowers to the debate hardens women voters dislike of him into concrete. Women r more likely 2 vote than men, btw.
