His ego will never let him consider that he is certain to be far outclassed and outwitted by a mere woman, and will proceed to make an even bigger ass of himself, during the debate, than ever before.

He would immediately be subjected to comments that he is scared to and he can't have that. So I think he will bluster through all of them and claim victory, regardless of the walloping he takes. He will say many stupid things and even M$M may not be able to avoid making something of them.

I really do think he will make an ass out of himself. I can't see him doing anything in a town hall style and taking questions from the audiance. Speaking of Trump, every candidate always tries to eat and have a photo opp with "regular" people in a local diner with the sport coat off and tie loosened to show that the candidate is a regular person. Why have we not seen that with Trump? I mean even Paul Ryan went and washed already clean dishes.

and got her a slice of pizza. Self proclaimed billionaire couldn't invite her to his home for dinner. he wasn't running then and he went to the pizza parlor. Now, he is running and haven't been in a regular place with regular people. He loathes working class people.

2. He doesn't know anything
3. He would become unhinged and go off script attacking her.

he can't hold a firm policy position from one day to the next, and he spouts nonsensical word salads when he gets asked questions he can't answer. He already laid the groundwork by constantly complaining about the news media and various reporters, and the DNC scandal will let him shun any input from that quarter.

So, I'd say he's going to fabricate some cheesy excuse not to do any debates.

he will not debate her.

If he gets far behind, he would have no choice, but he would try to negotiate some rules whereby he would be able to escape with his wig intact.
