be uncomfortable for him, though.

Michael Moore tells about a time both of them were to be on a talk show, and one of Trump's flunkies approached Moore to say Trump was really worried about what Moore would say about or to him on the show, and asked him not to say anything mean about Trump.

He bowed out of a FOX debate because he was afraid Megyn Kelly might make him look bad again.

He knows Hillary will be rough on him, and she is articulate where he is not. If in fact he is not somehow prevented from being the nominee, I think he will try to dodge debates with her. If he does any at all, he will keep them to an absolute minimum, but frankly I think he will do his best to avoid debating her.
