Donald Trump's Strategy to Avoid the Debates

Two polls came out today. One in Donald Trump's home State of New York another in the Sate of Washington. In New York, Trump garners just 25% of the vote and in Washington State, just 24%. At this rate of decline in polling numbers, there may be a serious effort by Donald Trump to fall below the 15% threshold, thereby removing his qualification to be on the debate stage in late September. That's not my opinion, mind you, but there are some people who say that.

I actually saw a Johnson yard sign today in a yard that had previously sported a Trump sign.
