You think he'll chicken out, eh? Go visit putin or something?

"fake news" anyway What a predictable monster

He refused to go, and instead held some "support the troops" rally acting like he was some big patriot, and remember, he had to later be forced to cough up the "donations" he'd collected supposedly for veterans' groups.

He'll probably do that now, do some rally instead and use it to grab money.

trump's number by now.. except his "credulous" cult.

The networks would be pissed 'cause of all the revenue they'd be missing for their "horserace".

Thanks for that, Grasswire.

But he won't.

make it go viral.

I hope he talks himself into refusing.

The 40% that love him don’t care, and even if he did show up wearing a soiled diaper and senile - they would still vote for him.

for chickening out. I hope he does go through with backing out.

and he'll be shredded on social media.

I just can’t believe he will be able to resist the stage.

the most dangerous place in the world is in between trump and a camera. one of his delusions is that he thinks he is photogenic.

as mentioned in another reply, if he crawls out and soils himself his cultists will regard it as a yuuuuge victory.

There is no debating him. He'll just turn it into a shit show no matter what.

Why would he skip a debate?

He thinks he is the debate master.

its investigations until there is a mountain of evidence against drumpf on many counts. "Donnie's Done" will be the the rally cry. Mitt Romney and Nikki Haley, among others, will be on the rethuglicon debate stage ready to do battle. Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren need to be ready to take them on.

May it be so. (as my Unitarian friends pray.)

nothing could keep from being in front of a TV camera!

His idea of a debate is to club the opponent with insults while telling everyone how great he is.

So he'll definitely do it.

he's so far behind in the polls he thinks he has nothing to lose. If he's ahead or even just slightly behind in the polls, he's likely to refuse to debate.

She's slight and feisty. And his base would DELIGHT in him beating up on "Pocahantas".

His ratings for that match would be astronomical.

He will have to tweet about it and paint himself into a corner now.

Especially if it is K. Harris.

In fact, he will break all the rules, openly and on camera - to the great delight of the GOP base.

After the first debate, he will declare victory ("Fantastic victory! I WON!" ) and will refuse any further debates.

last night that I wouldn't bet on him debating any Democrat:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1287&pid=177916

This morning I decided to poll other DUers to see what they thought, and it appears most of them agree he isn't likely to debate, or at least won't debate unless he's so far down in the polls he has nothing to lose:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1287178433

At the moment only 33% of the people who responded believe he'll definitely be willing to debate the nominee.

42% believe he definitely won't.

21% believe maybe he'll debate if he's really losing in the polls.

And 1 DUer who responded thinks he'll agree to a debate and then stomp off the debate stage in a huff when he realizes he can't compete.

wouldn't waste time on debating him anyways. Why should they (the democratic nominee for president)? After all, getting actual concrete facts into the discussion would be near impossible w/ rump and having a timid moderator such as Chuck Todd would ruin the debate. I'd just go along, repeating what can be done for the American people (or needs to be done) and point out all of the falsehoods and lies already spewed out by this admin. and that what's the point, since his admin. lies so much that any 'facts' spewed out by rump are false anyway.

What we all need to be doing is calling rump on his constant lies and falsehoods, day and night, w/ proof to back up our assertions.

As to the DUer who thinks rump will stomp off the stage...yeah, I wouldn't put it pass rump to do this...after all, he does have a temper...

and he thinks he’s smarter than everyone else and would win any debate. If he won’t do it the Dem candidate should show up and have the whole stage to him/herself.

and only have questions asked that benefit him.

He won't pass up the chance.

He'll even say he wants to do it then make some excuse why he can't. I hope he claims it's a perjury trap.

Besides, how else can he stalk her around the stage and appear tough and strong to his demented base? He needs to show up and shit all over the Dem candidate so he can feel like a big man (and not just a fat man).

Hillary won every debate on issues by far and didn't make any difference.
