When will the Presidential Debates be scheduled? Or...considering its 'Dump'

Will he refuse to participate at all? Could he just say, "Nope, not debating, don't need to, won't do it, I'm gonna just keep doing my rallies and I'll win and win big. You'll see...you'll be amazed!"

There's never been a dangerous, lunatic like Dump before so tradition flies out the window.

It would only bring accusations of hiding or being too scared.

He'll say something like "ya dont need debates trust me im the smartest"

He backed out of a gop debate, So what's to stop him from refusing a Presidential debate?

Maybe he'll just price his apprarance out if the ballpark for most networks LOL and say he's giving the proceeds to some charity.

He can price himself out of contention! 'Course, no charity will ever get within sniffing range of any real cash from him.

he really cannot refuse? I hope so because I am pinning a lot of hope on his self destruction there.

I only ask because I didn't think a candidate could refuse to rlease their tax return either.

.....doing something as structured as these debates. I cant see him succeeding in a town hall setting. His insults won't go over well. I can't see how he will look good debating her.
