Fraidy-Cat Trump to Back Out Of Debates With Permabulker Hillary?

[240 is Back]

He was scared to get onstage.  He's great at talking points, when he's reading notes and talking about exactly what he wants.  But 90 seconds of silence to explain serious issues with depth?  Everyone knew that is when he was going to be exposed as not-that-prepared for the big questions.

So Trump is backing out.  His excuse is that the libertarian candidate (who is actually hurting Hilary more than Trump), isn't allowed in the debates.  Johnson is at 10% at best, and he needs at least 15% to get in.

Trump knows there's no way JOhnson will gain 5 points in a week:

SOOOO Trump just announced he won't do the debates until Johnson is included.  1) he sucks up to the 10% supporting Johnson that has to choose a camp, and 2) He gets less airtime in the debates, which benefits him, and 3) it's likely he can just back out now.  

Today he said if Johsn isn't involved, he isn't doing the debates.  Just like Mccain tried, Trump is trying to back out.

Coach, never1ashow, & friends... Is Trump just scared to discuss major issues and deal with tough questions in a debate against Hillary?


plenty of more evidence trump doesn't want to do these here: http://bit.ly/2akaoBZ

Remember last week - Trump said he'd skip any debate prep. ANd he did back out of final leg of debates with Repubs, once there were few people up there, and the questions got tough.   http://wonkette.com/603313/donald-trump-not-prepping-for-debates-will-just-be-himself-clinton-campaign-ok-with-that

Is this correct?     http://www.smobserved.com/story/2016/09/04/news/donald-trump-will-not-debate-hillary-if-gary-johnson-not-allowed-to-participate/1894.html

if the GOP turned to Getbig and picked a Getbigger to sub for Trump in the debates who would be the best choice as Donald's replacement on stage vs. Hillary?

Remember mindspin from back in the day?   Good looking dude, successful, lots of brains.  I'd pick him.



Trump is trying to be a hero to the libertarian voters.  But backing out of a debate?  bad, bad, bad.  His supporters will pretend he's not scared, but will he routinely back out of meetings with world leaders this way too?

yeah, I remember quite the heated debate he had with Chick in an epic thread during Getbig's glory days.

I'd gladly accept the nomination, crush that fat, thieving, Alzheimer's bitch on a national tv debate, hit a side tri shot, tell the audience I'm off to Dubai India for business, and stride right off that fucking stage.

So interesting this story.  It might actually be a good move.

More importantly, this is a huge story if true.  I don't see it reported anywhere legitimate this morning.  Do you have a link to his campaign website or a tweet where he says this?  Or a report from a legitimate news source?  Should be plenty.

Roger stone recommended it back on August 1st.

Maybe this "news" article is just trying to be first but it got picked up by a lot of sites. 


It'd be a punk move, but smart.  Hilary will look much more prepared on answers.

Trump should have taken Roger Stone's advice.

He's an awesome marketing mind.  He's a cool TV personality.  He's a great CEO of a neat brand.

But it takes so much gravitas and experience and maturity to be president.   Hilary is beyond weak and average and flawed, but she did outperform him tonight.  He should have skipped them.

I predicted all along it'd be a 40 state landslide if Trump vs hilary in prez election.

Trump does the last 2 debates, and that might be the case.  Dems know his kryptonite now... details on policy.  Fumbled that nuke question badly, didn't even prepare for the Q after botching it against Rubio months ago...
