That could be a good setting for Hillary. Headlines will be "Trump skips debate, is he scared of Hillary?" and she'll have a bunch of prime-time Q&A with no rebuttals

Trump will have no choice but to debate.
My ex has been texting me all morning, diablosing over Trump trying to 'pivot' and 'revealing' his economic 'plan'. There are no signs of his nonsense working in the general. I can only bring up polls and the electoral college so many times.
Or maybe this is a weird attempt at lowering expectations so much that people are impressed that he even shows up.

Trump will do at least one debate, hoping he can simply dominate his way to victory via bravado and attacks. Win or loss he won't do a second debate: if he "wins" he'll declare victory and move on, if he "loses" he'll declare the debates rigged and write the rest off.

Gee, I wonder why conservatives aren't very popular these days?
Anyway, I would be shocked if Trump didn't at least do the first debate. if he skips out of the first debate, he's going to lose really fucking badly. Like, Texas, SC, Montana, Indiana lose badly.
I'm sorry, but that would be such a fucking disaster. The media would crucify him. He would look weak. Hillary would have 100% attention on her on the questions on every broadcast station and news station and radio stations.
Put it this way. If Trump doesn't do the first debate, I'm going to assume he literally does not want to win because that is the only world where it makes sense even in Trump's twisted worldview.

Figure Labor Day-ish, Trump will start commenting on the bias of the moderator(s) of the first debate. Threatening to leave, but ultimately willing to "give them a shot". First debate is a disaster and Trump them claims to have been right all along about the bias.
I don't think he'll outright refuse to do more, I think he'll refuse to do them unless he gets to name the moderators. I think at some point he's going to call for someone like O'Riley or Hannity to moderate the debate.
Then he'll drop out, but try to spin it as "Hillary is to scared to get asked questions by real journalists". He might even try to hold his own event against the debates.
...so ends my vision.

Can someone explain to me why when CNN made a chart showing which countries have a monarchy, they made categories for "True Rulers," "Rulers with Some Powers," "Figureheads" and "Queen Elizabeth II"
Why does she get her own category!?
Why does she get her own category!?
Cause she is a QUeen

$44 is so bougie.
I guess it's because she's the queen of, like, 17 countries so she needs a whole list of countries of her own.

My cat had to spend a big chunk of International Cat Day in the car.
It probably broke rules though, so RIP house Dems

Campaign response to the 50 National Security officials saying they won't vote for Trump:
I.e., TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHTS AND FLUNKIES!
I.e., TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHTS AND FLUNKIES!
I think Trump will skip most, if not all, debates since he knows he would probably get thrashed on actual policy. Now that he can't hide behind like 10 other people engaged in a shouting match I can see him getting worried about being exposed. After all, if there is one thing Trump hates most in the world it is getting his ego bruised.

This doesn't seem to have the heart and conviction in it that it usually does.
Ape, motherfuvker! Harambe is not a monkey.
