I say let him have this melt-down, poke at him to make it worsen and persist, and then cite his statements as the reason for not having a debate. If you can make sure the blame sticks to him, it might be worth it to let him have his pouting, one-person boycott.

Why would anyone want to appear on the same stage as this pervert? As HRC found out, no matter how much you out-class him in the debate, the very fact of appearing alongside him normalizes and legitimizes him by putting him next to a rational, respectable person in a situation of alleged equality, and gives lazy pundits opportunities to raise false equivalencies and enough fodder to wax lyrically about how presidential he appeared. Screw it.
