The “undercard” Republican debate began Thursday night with a candidate complaining that he’d been ignored by the media, and overshadowed by front-runner Donald J. Trump and Trump’s threat to boycott the main event later on. “This debate was called the undercard debate. The undercard debate. It wasn’t advertised significantly,” said former senator Rick Santorum (Pa.), in his first chance to speak in the debate. He lamented that Fox News had spent the previous hour talking about whether Trump would follow up on a threat to stay away. “An entertainer” had captured everyone’s attention, Santorum said. “The entire lead-up to this debate was about whether Donald Trump was going to show up for the next debate”/ Washington Post .
