Problem with Lester is he's never moderated a debate. Dickerson would be a good choice. Cooper would be a bad choice, I think he would interfere too much.
Gwen, Dickerson and Tapper. Raddatz for the VP debate.

So, you essentially work in LePage's wall?
Just hope it does not turn into Papers Please.

Please not Lester Holt. Not in the Presidential debate, at least. He's never hosted a debate before. Plus, I find him tiring. Maybe give him the Veep debate to get his feet wet for 2020 or something.

Watch Wolf Blitzer somehow end up as a moderator.

Trump's going to complain if the Moderator is anyone other than Sean Hannity. Will probably fuel his "won't do the debates" rhetoric. Still think in the end he'll do the first one, but baring a Clinton meltdown, will drop out of them afterwards.

He'll do the first debate and the townhall but there's almost zero chance he'll do the foreign policy debate. All of the comments about not doing the debates were so that when he opted out of the one where his positions are not defensible and that actually requires detailed debate prep, people will say "well he did the other ones, so that's OK"

He'll do it. It'd be too damaging to skip.
He'll even likely study/prepare after getting roflstomped in the first debate. I predict it will not help.
I think he would be better off either doing none of them or all of them. He would simply come across as a coward and a whiner who quit because he got destroyed.
If he doesn't do any of them, he could at least hide behind unacceptable rules or some such nonsense. A lot of people would think he is a coward, but you wouldn't have clear cut proof. If he does all three he will likely get destroyed, but he wouldn't be a coward at least.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
I'm still betting on him doing the first debate and squirming out of the second. He's going to get trounced in anything that isn't Town Hall format.
My big conspiracy theory is that they've been cancelling all these events to fit in more study and debate practice for him. They could have an entire year of study time and it isn't going to help though. Unless Trump has an eidetic memory, the last minute coaching isn't going to do much.
VP debate? Snoozefest. I have almost no interest in even watching.

He's not going to drop out.
Even if he gets rolfstomped in the first one, his ego is not going to let him "pussy out" of the subsequent debates.
This RIGGED shit isn't setting up him dropping out. It's to cover his ass when he bombs spectacularly.
Dropping out before the debate even happens is coward shit, he knows it's coward shit, and Donald Trump ain't no coward, dammit!

He can fake the domestic stuff to a point even that is questionable. He can't the foreign knowledge. It's a question of what is actually worse? Skipping the debate and doing another teleprompter speech and hoping all networks carry it or going on live TV and showing the country, in real time, that he (who claims he wants to be in charge of the country and the most powerful military in the world) knows nothing other then some phrases he's memorized. Debates aren't about answering one question. There are going to be a LOT of follow up questions. That's what is going to kill him and it will kill him in the first debate as well.

The alternative is giving Hillary the last debate as free advertising time. The time slot doesn't get canceled if Trump bails out.

That's... not the dumbest idea. But I think it would cause too much bickering among the moderators.

Oh god, watching Joy drag Trump and bring the t.....jesus.
She basically retired after 2014, doing some work at Harvard's journalism school and some paid speeches.
Yeah, I didn't really think much on it.
I found it ridiculous how much Republicans attacked Candy after that. It was Romney's fault for believing the right wing of his party. They also seemed to miss that Obama set him up for the L.
That entire exchange was poetry in motion. Obama set the trap and Romney walked right into it.

I had one of those once. Too much, actually. I didn't stop when people warned me to and it took me for all I was worth.
I sure hope not. He'd be a bigger doormat than Jim Lehrer.
I'm okay with Coop. Wish Joy Reid, Brianna Keilor or Brian Steltor could get in on the panel.

I don't really like Southern Comfort, though.
I never had one before. My bf made it for me. He said he's now responsible for mixing my drinks. I don't think he trusts me to make my own decisions.

Interesting article about how Trump's lack of ground game could be a lot bigger of a problem than people think. Obama's superior game, by conventional wisdom, inceased his share of the vote from 1-3%. But Romney still had a semi-decent game, in comparison to McCain. This year, there's essentially nothing on the Republican side. It's not impossible to think the effect could be a 4-6% swing at least.

What do y'all think of ColoradoCare? Think it'll pass? Think it will be a success? If it is a success, could we see more state-level single payer systems be implemented in other blue or blue-ish states?
You guys are forgetting the Talented and Brilliant Kellyanne Conway will be giving trump oneliners to respond to every basic category of question. I don't think he's going to ever get roflstomped unless the debate moderators actually ask for policy details.
I could see Raddatz doing that based on the last cycle debates.

Except, SHOCK, one of the clones is really Nina Turner, she nominates Bernie on the stage. He gets airlifted in, and the dank memes are too much....the DNC throws crooked Hillary off the ticket. Trump quits on the spot because it's too dank.
And then......in a twist of fate, the real Joy Reid (not one of the clones) comes out and is made Vice President. HA Goodman rushes the stage and does a citizen's arrest on Hillary Clinton.
You should all drop out. Sad!
