Plus, it is Mr. Trump that has called for there to be 'no moderators' for the debates. The reason is clear: he knows he can out-shout Hillary. His idea of a debate is to stand and make his usually rally speech, not allowing Ms. Clinton to respond. Rather like that phony 'press conference' he held in May, in which he spent the 40 or so minutes telling the assembled reporters how stupid they were, and generally not answering any questions.
To add/ While Trump may think himself a whiz in the realestate game debating is Hillarys game,shes been doing it all her life she is well able to expose the vacuous nature of Mr Trump in debate.
Trump can dream on if he thinks this will be an unmoderated debate as that wouldnt be a debate but just Trump out shouting Hillary match in a never ending litany of bs..

There's no way she'll skip the debates.

She's not afraid of Trump. She'll be in her element.

Although, I am kinda looking forward to seeing Trump advance his Democrat daughter's excellent (though not quite as good as HRC'S) positions on childcare and other issues that Republicans would never consider if they came from the other side.

Hmm, in the extremely unlikely event Hils drops out due to illness, perhaps Ivanka can run in her place.

I'm not a Trump fan so you don't need to waste effort by trying to "debunk" him to me.

Sure, she's debated before. But she hasn't always been this frail physically either.

I've run in marathons before, but that doesn't mean I could go out this afternoon and do it again.

The bar is pretty low for Trump as he's not a politician. And Hillary may go into the debate DOWN in the polls. It'll be interesting to see how she handles the pressure. She needs to absolutely demolish Trump to right the ship.

Not going to happen imo. She wouldn't risk what she's been gunning at for years. She'll get asked about her health for sure, but she'll have a perfect response to it. Probably going to be the question she practices for the most.

She has to do the debate. They'll pump her up with a ton of drugs to get her through the night. Let's see how she feels the next day.

As long as they don't keep her in shadows or behind a screen or have her participate VIA satellite linkup. No Weekend At Bernie's stuff. And check her for earpieces and no sunglasses. They'll probably allow for potty breaks every 15 minutes for injections.

My guess is 55%-45% she'll cancel.

If she does them, her record will work against her.

I'd like to see a debate where the candidates sit in comfy chairs around a round table with the moderator, and facing each other, since it's only 2 of them.
