Republicans Jockey in Town Hall as Frontrunner Trump Refuses to Show 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidates participated in a
candidate forum Monday ahead of the first debate this Thursday.
Republican frontrunner Donald Trump refused to attend after the event's
co-sponsor, the New Hampshire Union Leader, published an editorial
critical of him. Trump continues to lead in polls, despite calling
Mexican immigrants "rapists," and despite the latest revelations he once
erupted in rage at a female attorney who requested a break in a
deposition to pump breast milk. Trump told her, "You're disgusting,"
before storming out of the room.
