Since he spends most of his time projecting his own weaknesses onto Hillary, I'm guessing he'll end up going with "needing to sleep" or "not feeling well" since that's his current bogus attack line. But since it's Donnie, he might get confused and forget what he's supposed to be talking about and say he has to visit his birthplace in Kenya.

That's the conservative voter for you. Appeal to their emotions by shouting "illegals, free trade, and our current politicians are STUPID!" and there you go. To the independents and general election audience, he's going to have to do a lot more than that.

I'm an independent and he's doing just fine. I'm smart enough to know that all the blather professional politicians spew on a regular basis is pure BS.

He will insist on so many rules and regulations as to make the debates pointless, he will definitely try to dictate which questions the moderators are allowed to ask him.

Well, that's easier said than done.

She's pretty experienced with being grilled by a bunch of people who want to pin the goods on her and prevailing on the end. If she can handle Issa, Chaffetz and Gowdy, Trump is child's play, since he is breathtakingly ignorant on public affairs.

Also, Clinton knows Trump is really thin-skinned and she'll bait him accordingly.

I imagine he will remember that it's Putin's birthday and he has to play nice with his future boss!

I predict that Hillary's colostomy bag will malfunction half way through the debate and she'll have to leave early.

I don't think he is going to drop out of them now. If he had continued along his downward spiral I don't believe he would have debated her.
