Well, we knew this was coming sooner or later, and here we go. Trump is running away from the debates with Hillary.

The Donald Trump for President 2016 campaign will pull out of the scheduled September 26th debate between Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Trump, unless third-party candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein are also allowed to participate.

This is a tactical move believed by most analysts to help Trump, because the third-party candidates seem to drain more support from Clinton then they do from Trump.
Run Away, Run Away, Run Away!

It isn't a debate, the candidates aren't going head to head.

It's a good move, force the establishment to include 3rd party candidates.

Dumbocrats not including everyone once again...no surprise. The people of America deserve to hear 2 more voices especially when these 2 candidates are so unliked.

First, a billionaire real estate mogul IS the establishment.
Second, Trump is afraid to go head-to-head with Clinton and invented a condition that could not be met so that it would appear as if he isn't chicken -- which he is.
Third, anyone who thinks Trump cares about 3rd party candidates is naive. He is merely using them -- just like he uses people and refuses to pay his bills.

Good... let Trump pull out of the debate. The last time he did that he took a beating in the polls. Also, Mr. Trump, where are your tax returns? America is waiting. What are you hiding?

He will look like a ***** if he does. I'd play his bluff.

If that offends you, that's Trump' verbiage.Trump calls Cruz a '*****' | TheHill

The "debate" on September 26th isn't a debate, the candidates are not going head to head.

Since the event on September 26th isn't a debate, there really isn't much reason for Trump to go.

Donald the coward. Afraid of Pena Nieto, afraid of Clinton, and most afraid of being embarrassed in the debates.

First presidential debate (September 26, 2016, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY)

The debate will be divided into six time segments of approximately 15 minutes each on major topics to be selected by the moderator and announced at least one week before the debate.

The moderator will open each segment with a question, after which each candidate will have two minutes to respond. Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other. The moderator will use the balance of the time in the segment for a deeper discussion of the topic.
