Say Trump refuses to debate - will they still go on with only Hillary?

[wheniwasincongress]

Imagine her on stage by herself, answering the moderator's questions. Sure it wouldn't be a debate, but it would show she is ready and wiling to participate. Would it be good for her? And how disastrous would it be for Trump?

1. Not sure

But I honesty think, its now a 50% chance that he wont debate.

2. the debate would go on and Hillary would have a field day

trump loses here no matter what he does....and not showing up proves his cowardice to the world.....


those few undecided voters will flock to hillary

3. I don't know what they would do about the debates, but if Trump

refuses, it won't make any difference to his supporters. They will accept his claims that he's being mistreatef, they're not being fair to him and that the election is rigged.

4. Don't think it woulf be good for her

The repubs would twist everything she says. And there wouldn't be any thing on him. His followers would some how justify their big strong leader was afraid to debate.

5. They will have an empty chair and have Clint Eastwood speak for the chair.

6. If he declines and they still hold the debate, it would be good for her.

It would make Trump look like the cowering fool that he truly is.

7. he's gonna debate....this is just his first round in negotiating the best possible

'deal' with regard to the specifics of the debate: room size, shape, temperature, questioners (who on earth is he going to approve? Hannity, Michael Savage?)

just posturing

no way he skips this, ESPECIALLY if he's still behind in October

8. Do you honestly believe Trump will pass up a microphone?

I don't. He's pathologically narcissistic.

If you really want to get rid of Trump, let him see you drop a tv camera into the ocean. He'll dive in and you'll never see him again.

9. I don't think he'll be able to weasel out. But if he did. Just put a turd with a bird's nest on top

at the podium and she can debate that. The depth of the conversation will be about the same.
