I find it hilarious after all he's said this is the end for him. He's said a ton of awful things.

I expect that even the Bombast Orange knows he's stepped in it this time. Anyone who is in the same room with him now has very wide dumbfounded eyes.

And Hillary should just look at the audience and camera with an incredulous look and say 'No comment Donald'.

Because by Sunday night the entire country will have heard the recording.

Silly of me...he is going to cancel.

Trump. Apologize? He may slip the word sorry in his attempt to attack Hillary on Bill's behavior (which will only dig him in deeper). He's in deep quicksand and no one's going to toss him a rope this time

He would think if he backed out the debate, he would look like a quitter. I think he will try to somehow blame it on someone else, or he was just trying to boost his image as a playboy but NEVER would do any of those things. After all, he WAS with a group of GUYS!

He has to stick in it and come out swinging. He's nothing without his brand. Nothing!

Which may be the best thing that could happen to Hillary's campaign since... Well, since a few hours ago.

If he cancels it, that means he's conceding that he did something disgusting-- and he's NEVER wrong

If he doesn't, HRC will tear him to shreds

Chris Matthews said he thinks Trump really will drag this into the gutter now, and unload every Roger Stone-esque conspiracy he has now, because its the only chance he has.

Would the debate be cancelled? Or would it become a Hillary Clinton town hall, with an empty chair (and no Clint Eastwood!)?
