We saw what happened to Ronald Reagan \u200bwhen \u200bhe skipped the Iowa debate in\u200b 1980. He lost the state and propelled George H.W. Bush\u200d to the lead \u2063for a time. \u2062Ronald Reagan eventually overtook him and won the\u2062 nomination,&#8221;\u2063 Hume \u200csaid. &#8220;I \u200cdon\u2019t think George H.W. Bush would have been president if he hadn\u2019t won Iowa \u200cin 1980. He wouldn\u2019t\u200d have gotten the vice presidential nomination. He had a foothold in the race and stayed in and ended \u2062up being president of the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hume added, &#8220;It can\u200c be consequential skipping debates.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hemmer pivoted away from\u200d the \u200cdiscussion \u200bof Trump\u2062 not attending the \u2062debate that \u200dthe channel was hosting Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We \u200chaven\u2019t spoken about Chris Christie yet.
