16. "after both sides agreed to specific parameters."

Seriously? What does it matter what the parameters are the Trump campaign agreed to if they choose not to follow them anyway. They had their chance, to have a debate according to the rules both sides agreed to. They chose not too. They can either show up to the next debates and deal with them as they are, I assume in their usual feckless disrespectful manner, or they can stay away and whine like little bitches. They don't get to have any say in how they are run now, because they chose to ignore the very rules they made. They rendered themselves irrelevant in being responsible negotiators in defining the rules by their own chosen behavior.

I guess we shouldn't be surprised these feckless idiots are trotting out this tripe over a relatively meaningless debate, when they basically did the same stupid stuff w/ the big stuff like the Iran nuclear agreement. Trump pulls out of it and then whines like a little bitch that Iran wasn't abiding by the agreement he broke. I really wonder how the idiots that buy his crap manage to keep enough neurons firing to keep breathing on their own.
