8. This is insane to me. I've never heard of a candidate needing a whole week to prepare.

I'm not going to lie, this seems like an awful plan that very well could backfire. We're in the final stretch of the campaign. People are voting RIGHT NOW. After this week, there will only be one full week left of campaigning. How can they even remotely justify taking the candidate off the trail for essentially four full days this close to the election? This is nightmarishly stupid.

I could see it if the debate was tomorrow. But it's Thursday. They're really going to take the candidate off the trail for likely four days to prepare for a debate? That's unheard of.
