Trump wants to reschedule debates

CNN: “Donald Trump’s campaign will begin a push this week to reschedule the presidential debates set for this fall, but the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonpartisan group responsible for scheduling, is standing firm for now.”

I would imagine that the venues have already spent money and hired vendors/help for the scheduled debates. Obviously, they would have a financial loss.

He doesn't want to debate, I think it's obvious. In my opinion, he is trying to get of of it, he is trying appeal to football fans by implying that Hilary doesn't care about the sport or the teams (states) playing, or he is hoping that people won't watch the debates in protest.

It's nice to have some intelligent conversation. I am related to a few Trump fans and I swear they've experienced some sort of hostile brain takeover.

Contract? Is that like those thingies in writing that promise to pay for services rendered and to repay loans?

He's looking for a win-win: rescheduled debates mean he bullied them into rescheduling. Not rescheduling and he has his excuse for not debating because he "wasn't treated fairly."

Such a fucking child.

Keep rescheduling until Clinton hits some requirement that won't allow her to participate at that date and time, then accuse her of being afraid to debate him.

I do hope everybody realizes what The Maggot is trying to do here.
