Prediction: There will be no debates between the presidential candidates in 2020.

[DetlefK]

Trump refuses to have his lackeys give testimony.
Trump refuses to turn over documents for congressional investigations.
Trump says that the media is the enemy of the people.
Trump says that the Democrats tried to topple him in a coup.

What are the odds that Trump will go to a public event he can not bully and boss around and where he will get asked questions and actually has to answer them?



Just imagine.
The host asks Trump about his broken promise to bring coal back.
The host asks Trump whether he condemns foreign interference in US elections.
His opponent brings up Trump's refusal to cooperate with congressional investigations or anything from the Russia-investigation.
His opponent brings up taxes or healthcare.

What will Trump do except freaking out and lamenting about unfair questions?

1. they should hold the debates and if Trump refuses to attend, let it just become a network-wide

forum for OUR candidate. However, if he tries to pull the stunt he did last time, where he tries to hold a competing rally, the networks and cable outlets should REFUSE to cover anything but the sanctioned debate/forum.

2. Call it what you like don juan. Youre coming down.

Downtown Judy Brown. If it makes you feel better to call the legal process a coup...go ahead. Congress should cut funds for hate rallies and golf travel. And the DOJ if Barr contiues to wreck havoc. Get ready DEMOCRAT CONGRESS. Monday morning better be ready with bells on your toes. Let's GO.

5. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

If there is one, it will be on Fox News.

6. He will try to dictate the terms and conditions. And he might repeat his refusal to concede.

7. I vote for a cage match.

8. He will debate because he believes he is a champion debater.

[The Genealogist]

9. I suspect he will

It is hard to imagine him passing up any opportunity to have his orange mug all over TV. If he just stands there silently and drools, he will claim total victory, and his hoards of deplorables will agree. And, no matter what crap comes out of his mouth, be prepared for pundits to spin it in his favor.

10. It will just be an open chair town hall.

We have them for Vickie Hartzler once a year. It's a chair w her photo and we tweet all of our questions at her while live streaming.

She is always invited and we even pay for the venue, offer snacks, etc. She refuses to attend.
