DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Billionaire Donald Trump is cancelling his appearance at one of the Iowa Republican Party's biggest annual fundraisers, prompting the state's GOP leaders to scrub the event.
Trump was scheduled to headline the Iowa GOP's annual Lincoln Dinner on June 10 in Des Moines. Interest in Trump's appearance prompted planners to move the event to a larger venue.
Iowa's Republican caucuses will begin the 2012 presidential nominating contests, and Trump's acceptance fueled speculation he would enter the race.....
In a statement Thursday, state GOP officials expressed their disappointment, saying "In Iowa, your word is bond. We are disappointed that Mr. Trump has chosen not to honor his commitment to Iowa Republicans."
This is an immensely satisfying development. The Rs like to brag about their Lincoln Dinner bash and it ain't happening.
