2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI think Trump has found a clever face-saving way to duck out of the debates.
He's going to make sure he's polling below 15%, then he can say he isn't eligible.

So that's what he's been doing this past week!

(24,720 posts)with the democratic nominee sitting in a chair, or standing behind a podium and the other side having a sign behind it saying "where is the trump" with a empty chair or podium it would be something to see-----------because one on one he has no place to hide

I want to see those tax returns --------------David Cay Johnston on the XM progressive radio with Joey Reid ( she was sitting in for Michelangelo Signorile), and Malcolm Mann just explained who and what this fascists fraud really is---------he really has some explaining to do.
In fact I think the Khans should be one of moderators at the first debate, and then Tammy Duckworth with her Purple heart standing or sitting right besides and along the Khan's, after all she did lose both her legs in combat, and having Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell and "all" the republicans being asked who is the patriot, for forty five years we've been hearing its your worthless party

(15,265 posts)Trump might stay above 15% even if he followed through on his hypothetical of shooting someone in the street. It would take a combination of him doing the most outrageous things you can imagine PLUS the Republicans finding some way to dump Trump and come up with a new, official GOP nominee, at the very least. Even then, getting below 20% would be a challenge.
Trump could voluntarily drop out of the race (yes, I know, not bloody likely) and there still might be 15% from dead-enders who'd keep supporting him as a write-in.
