I don't see how Trump can survive not participating in debates. He will look like a coward. His supporters don't want a coward. I think it would really hurt him, that being said he seems to be hurting pretty bad already.

He really really wants to debate guys, but only if the terms are fair.

I actually hope the debates never happen because its the one way Hillary could blow it; also hope Trump is the one to cancel the debates.

Debating Trump is just a no win situation. You can't debate someone that doesn't believe in facts or reality.

It's hard to be humble when you're as great as I am.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumstantial_speech

quote:

Circumstantial speech (also referred to as circumstantiality) is the result of a non-linear thought pattern and occurs when the focus of a conversation drifts, but often comes back to the point.[1] In circumstantiality, unnecessary details and irrelevant remarks cause a delay in getting to the point.[2] If someone exhibits circumstantial speech during a conversation, they will often "talk the long way around" to their point, which can be seen in contrast to linear speech, which is direct, succinct, and to the point.

My prediction is still that Trump attends the first debate, takes a dive and clutches his knee, and spends the entire time picking fights with the moderators to create a distraction/narrative for his fans. Then refuses to do the rest because media bias.

It would be embarrassing, but the emails thing is so played out at this point.

I don't think it would have much of an impact unless Trump kidnaps Obama, puts a Trump mask on him, and forces Obama to pull off the debate of his life (while Michelle's fate hangs in the balance). Because the only way an emails answer is going to get airtime is if we don't see the inevitable Trump meltdown after the moderators spend an hour confronting him about his rapid-fire flip flops and outright lies.

Hearings, even in a partisan House, are not the same as the show debates we have in the U.S. She's not going to have the luxury of being able to speak in full, well reasoned sentences without the loving talking yam interrupting her on every question. The moderators are not going to able to control him and it's going to be a complete poo poo show. The idea that Trump will be even a little civilized during the first debate is ridiculous.

I want to get a bunch of people together then chant "Trump has tiny hands!" at one of his rallies. Most of the chants are three syllable so it'll create some interesting effects.
