Heads up! Trump's holding a press call on the Debates Commission at 3:30


?s=20


HEADS UP:
@TeamTrump
is holding a press call on the
@debates
commission at 3:30.

Doesn't seem like something you'd do unless you're going to pull out of the last two debates.






Will he or won't he?

Fine. I think Joe can exploit that. Plus it takes away any risk of a bad performance by Joe, when it's Trump that needs a big score.

He knows he will be even further throttled in the next two. He can’t stand that.

Make my day please..throw your fit and walk away!!

I hope he does pull out and saves us from this debacle. I turned off the first debate. I don't want to see his fat face anymore than I have to. Please save us!!

he will also make Pence back out. They know Harris is going to eat him alive and if that's the only debate left, it will get outsized importance.
