Trump finally gives non-Fox interview. It doesn’t go well.

... It went so not well, in fact, that you have to wonder whether his campaign will decide it's best to dodge the likes of Anderson Cooper and Chuck Todd — or, for that matter, Chris Wallace and Bret Baier — and stick to softball sessions with Sean Hannity and the "Fox & Friends" crew ...

"I know you want to protect her as much as you possibly can," Trump said, referring to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. At the time, he and Cooper were debating the true poverty rate for African Americans. When Trump didn't want to engage on the merits anymore, his immediate tactic was to try to put Cooper on the defensive with an unrelated accusation ...

... Expect Trump to go back behind the wall. He likes walls.

3. Debates should be interesting. Thanks for the read

5. The debates won't happen.

Just like Trumps long promised and long awaited immigration policy, Trump will talk a good game about the debates but when push comes to shove there will be some reason he can't show up. And you can bet your bottom dollar it will all be Hillary's fault.

4. I guess that he can fall back to Randy Rainbow for an interview.
