I'll lay odds that he won't do another debate after this one.

[Skidmore]

Any takers?

1. not ME boy howdy.. His clock is well and truly cleaned.

He'll NEVER show up for another one.

[Siwsan]

2. How long before the next scheduled debate?

Is it after the VP debate?

But I'll be surprised if he doesn't pull something to back out.

3. Yes

Are you serious?

He knows exactly what he's doing and he is dominating the volume and frequency. Even if he says gibberish, he is cutting down on response time and looking very aggressive. The low information voters will gobble that up and I think he is playing for the lowest common denominator.

4. Judging from my RW FB friends

Even they think he's doing badly, but they're blaming Lester Holt being "bias". I'm not sure if this hideous performance is going to move the needle much, but it's comforting, at least for tonight.

5. I think he has to

unfortunately, he actually has a chance and this debate won't lose him his current voters. But if he chickens out he will... so he has to debate again.

6. He might - the second one is a town hall format which Donald would love

Second presidential debate (October 9, 2016, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO)

The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which half of the questions will be posed directly by citizen participants and the other half will be posed by the moderator based on topics of broad public interest as reflected in social media and other sources. The candidates will have two minutes to respond and there will be an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate further discussion. The town meeting participants will be uncommitted voters selected by the Gallup Organization.

Third presidential debate (October 19, 2016, University of Nevada-Las Vegas, Las Vegas, NV)

The format for the debate will be identical to the first presidential debate.
