OP
He's wrong. The debate schedule was decided over a year ago by independent debate commission.

He really stepped in it this time, then, didn't he? How can he spin his ignorance of the schedule?

But I hope he doesn't chicken out-- I've been looking forward to the debates ever since he became the puke nominee.

Same as the last time. Who's running THESE debates? Not DWS, I suppose.
Of course he won't be able to address substantive issues.

When Bush Sr. refused to debate people showed up to his rallies in chicken suits.
Maybe Trump can get the same treatment.
