Donald Trump's campaign chief said on Sunday that the campaign plans to meet with the Commission on Presidential Debates to sort out issues with the debate schedule.

Trump has voiced concern that two of the presidential debates collide with NFL games even though the schedule has been set since September.

"We're just saying our position is we want the maximum audience participation," Paul Manafort said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

RNC chairman: We'll support Trump on debate schedule protest

Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Reince Priebus said he will stand by Donald Trump in his protest of the presidential debate schedule. "We're not going to agree with anything our nominee doesn't agree with," Priebus said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

"We're not going to be having debates on Saturday and Sunday night."

Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, has expressed concerns that two of the debate dates collide with NFL games. The schedule, in place since last September, was set by a bipartisan presidential debate commission. "Certainly, the RNC is going to be involved in supporting our nominee and his position on this," Priebus said, suggesting the debates take place on a Tuesday, Thursday or Wednesday nights instead.

Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort also said on "Face the Nation" Sunday that the campaign will meet with the commission to discuss alternatives.

2. Trump needs some excuse...

He can't survive on stage with Hillary...

3. Republicans are pimping the narrative that the debate dates are somehow Hillary's doing.

And I don't hear much push back from the media. That's worrying. It seems like the media is still on board with the "Hillary controls and rigs everything" story line.

4. He'll make all these unrealistic demands

and then refuse to debate when he doesn't get his way. "See, the system is rigged against me! Believe me!!"

5. Whiny little ...

8. Bitch

Let me finish that for you😃😃😃😃😃😃. I hope Clinton has someone from her campaign there to speak up and not let him get is way!! He will complain, come up with his alternative, it will be presented to Clinton, she will have issues with it due to scheduling conflicts and then he will blame her for not wanting to debate. I can see it all right now. The committee should not give in to him AT ALL after all it was decided back in Sept

6. Alternatives? What, like armwrestling, spitballing, making weird faces? nt

7. Another story to try and

link back to the primary debates ..... trying to use the word rigged in connection with Hillary . Also to show his " negotiating " ....... behind closed doors wonder if manafort and co are involved will it be more strong arming like at their convention ?

Dt can not get his way .........unless all parties are at the table .......

Priebus is either a wimp or he has been in on their strategy all along from he beginning

9. a general election debate will be nothing like GOP primary one

There won't be any questions like "Who do you love more, Ronald Reagan or Jesus?" or "If you had a chance to eradicate one race or religion, which would it be and how much would you enjoy it?"

11. Trump ain't gonna debate

Trump is going to make excuse after excuse until he just says there will be no debate this election.

He will offer his top ten list of why "It is not fair..."

10. People will have to go out of their way to see the debate on any day that ends in a 'Y'.
