Donald Trump may be hosting a Republican debate later this month, but Jon Huntsman for one wants no part of it. "We look forward to watching Mitt and Newt suck up to The Donald with a big bowl of popcorn," a spokesman tells Business Insider. Trump tells Fox News he doesn't care because Huntsman isn't a "serious candidate." Ever the ratings-conscious showman, the Donald also says he might just endorse someone after the Dec. 27 debate, notes Media Matters. (Click for the Huntsman daughters' latest video.)
