Will Trump debate Clinton?
 
Do you think Trump will actually show up to face down Clinton, or will he decline to participate like he did with the second Fox debate? What will his excuse be?

I think he WON'T debate her! (First debate in September 26)

Amateur molebait.

1. He'll try to find a way out. A lot depends on how the party feels about it.

One bong for effort 
Because deep down, Trump really cares what the party thinks.

9. I predicted he would not debate
 
I heard Chuck Todd say he predicts one and done.

That sounds right

no bongs, disagreement between Star Member mainstreetonce and Chuck Todd cancel out each other due to overreach.

21. I CANNOT imagine he would under any circumstance. What is he going to SAY?

No bongs. Illegal use of capital letters.

Unincombered by those who feel the bern...

22. He ran away from a debate with Sanders

one bong for effort, removed because Hillary also refused to debate the old crazy commie one on one.

Huh?

This from the candidate (and presumptive nominee) that whittled the number of debates on her side from seven down to three.

Keep dreaming DUmmies.  Any debates will be huge.

[Tess Anderson]

Oh, he'll debate her. Hillary couldn't even handle an aging socialist from Vermont, I wonder how many times she will have to take a break and use the ladies' or mens' room:

35. I won't be surprise if he doesn't....people..Especially women he

Can't bully he runs away from....I hope he does debate as he is moron...so filled with self delusions of himself....

There you have it - Trump is moron and filled with self delusions of HIMSELF.

[DumbAss Tanker]

It'll be a bloodbath.  The only thing he has to be careful of is to not to look like he's abusing her when she gets crushed.  She is used to being treated with deference and her opposites exercising great civility toward her and omitting speculative or less-than-ironclad-documented points from any encounter, but Trump will not do that.  He will no doubt say some bogus stuff that will drive the fact-checkers nuts, but in the moment of the debate it will completely fluster her and she totally sucks at thinking on her feet, without days of brainstorming and preparation to utter even the lies to which she is accustomed.

In honor of Trump's reality show experience how about special debate rules?
   
Every time there's an answer that is an obvious lie or the answer includes a grade school level insult, a large muscled guy will walk up and slap the offender across the face with something that would do no damage other than deposit garish paint over them?

High viewership would be guaranteed and Trump supporters would most likely say the debate hosts were paid of by the Clintons.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028039751

I'm trying to give an honest bong score here. I want to award 1 bong for originality. It's a good idea. Also, since the slap can be awarded to either candidate who lies, this means Hil gets into the action...2 bongs.

What's left? Accusations of the Clintons paying off the hosts, loss of half a bong. High viewership due to the pie in the face?. Without this idea Trump pulls in the viewers anyway because this is what Trump does, so loss of another half bong.

Final score: 1 bong 

[FunkyZero]

Dear Lord, there is no doubt they are passing around the crack pipe over there. If Trump were good at only one thing, it's setting the narrative (I'm using my nice words)... and guess what the ENTIRE "debate" will end up circling around?
Clinton is laden with so much corruption and so many public lies, Trump is probably salivating at the opportunity to get her on a national stage where she can't escape. It'll be a USDA certified slaughterhouse.

Precisely! If either of the two would try to duck doing debates, it'll be the one who already did that in the primary. Chances are, some of The SHREW's sycophants have already tried to warn her not to try that, and have had to try to arrange a teleconference with some top-level MSM-shills after their suggestion was rejected.

[USA4ME]

Wrong question to ask on Skin's island. The primitives have already pre-decided who has won any debates before they take place. She could fall over dead on stage and they'll still declare her the winner. And if she did fall over dead during the debates, I would also be inclined to declare both her and the whole country as the winner.

I have no doubt the debate questions will be given to hitlary in advance so she can reject those that will paint her in a bad light. She'll also use "focus groups" to decide what her answers will be to those questions she does allow.

On the other side, all questions will be classified "top secret" and not to be given to Trump.

Well the "debates" I watched during the primary that included Trump... Trump waited until his turn and said whatever the hell he wanted so... I don't see this going well for hildabeast regardless of how the lefty "moderators" try to frame it. I mean, since when have you ever seen Trump do what anyone told him?

She could fall over dead on stage and they'll still declare her the winner and that her death was a white, right-wing-terrorist, misogynist conspiracy. And if she did fall over dead during the debates, I would also be inclined to declare both her and the whole country as the winner.

Just completing your thought.

I agree with you. hitlary is scripted. Trump jumps at an opening without "politically correct" thinking.

[Maverick1987]

Trump will do extremely well in the debates. Those who actually watch them will witness a bloodbath, those who read about them later will see it through the lense of their preferred "media" (opinion) outlet, which will not be favorable to Trump in most cases.

Trump will see a crack in HilLIARy's wall . . . and drive an L-series armored cavalry regiment through it.  He's subtle like that . . .

It's going to be interesting. No doubt, The SHREW's campaign sycophants and MSM shills have sat down together to watch Trump's style during the primary debates, in order to craft "questions" and tactics to counter what Trump has done. OTOH, Trump has the initiative - they will be trying to respond to him - and I think he and his campaign people are smart enough to know to adjust what Trump does so as to keep The SHREW and her pet MSM shills off balance and/or make them look silly and hysterically partisan.

ETA: Trump needs to continue to make the MSM an issue, and show them the contempt they've earned.

[CollectivismMustDie]

She better hope not.

I'm no trump fan, but but I would very much enjoy an election day headline that reads something like this:

"Hillary: You're fired."

Old trick I'm sure Trump is aware of:

I hope there is a "check the transcript, Candy" moment in the debate - Trump will handle it VERY differently from the way Romney reacted. They are messing with the wrong person this time.

[ROCKURWORLD]

I think Hillary will destroy Trump in the debates. He only has like 3 lines and virtualy no policy. It's going to be awful considering how senile he is.

[BlueStateSaint]

HilLIARy cannot think on her feet.  Trump has made a living responding to unexpected moves by other people.  HilLIARy has given Trump boatloads of ammo . . . Actually, James Comey was the one who gave Trump some ammo--not that Benghazi and other scandals haven't filled the magazines already.

HilLIARy will kick and scream 'sexism,' because it is the only card she has.  Will it work?  That's something we don't yet know.
