Another example of Trump redefining the rules even when he's going down in flames. Fucking fraud of a nominee.

what does he say is wrong with the mic?
Patrick Healy just said to Cooper that Trump told him that 50% of the time during the debate he was concerned about the mic and couldn't focus.
Yeah, he's definitely not going.
It'll instantly end the election then and there if he skips it.
I think he hems and haws up until the debate and then goes. Because Trump knows media optics if nothing else, and he know's he'll look weak if he skips the debates.
I've always wondered how a one-candidate debate would happen.
Would it be Clinton handling questions for 90 minutes? Or would it be Clinton handling questions for 45 minutes, with Trump's alloted time interspersed between her answers (with Clinton and AC awkwardly watching the clock)?

Good, give Hillary a free commercial where she gets to show off her policies and personalize at a town hall.
He'll do a town hall with Hannity at the same time. Call Sean, you'll see.

I guess the most extreme outcome is Hillary attending the 2nd debate alone with Trump doing his own thing at the same time, and trying to make it a "ratings" contest again.
Though I'm pretty sure when he did that last time, the primary debate got more viewers than he did.

If Trump actually goes to the second debate, do you think his audience would ask him harder and more difficult questions or softball ones where virtually any answer will satisfy them?

Miss that debate Trump, leave Clinton an unopposed speech to 100 Million people on prime time.

I can see a reality where Trump doesn't do the town hall, Hillary does it alone, and then Fox News gives Trump one a few days later.
Nah. All the Hannity townhalls with Trump were duds. Scripted pageantry for it's base.
I doubt the Fox News corporate would be ok with playing an alternative to the Debate Commission. The Townhall on the 9th will be carried by every broadcast.

Before debate 1, I was predicting Trump would do the first, ditch the others, but even on this side of the debate, and it being even more of a disaster than I thought, I just don't see him doing it.
It's his ego. He can make all the excuses he wants to, but I don't think he can think of any way to skip the debate without it looking like he's scared.
Because if there's one thing Trump and his supporters are known for, is basing all arguments and criticisms after a careful examination of the facts at hand...

They can only cry foul if there is evidence. If the election matches pretty close to the polling averages no one with any power will take it seriously.

Trump leaving Hillary a town hall on every channel while taking one on cable news would be pretty dumb. It won't happen.

In the times article he said he was forced to spend 50% of his brain power thinking about the mic.

Yeah, let's be accurate here. It was certainly shot on magnetic tape, not film.
Also, there is no way Trump backs out of the next debate. He would (rightly) be branded a coward.

While introducing a sitting Senator, Rachel Maddow displayed an official statement from the Clinton campaign saying that while there's been a lot of talk about adult films, only Donald Trump has been proven to appear in one.
And I can't even fucking deal right now.

He's been trying to do this since day 1.
Trump: "I will rattle you HRC"
HRC's team: "Thanks for the headsup dumbass"
What a sound strategy, telling your opponent exactly what you are going to do 2 weeks before doing it so they can prepare and turn the tables.
How do you rattle Clinton?
Yeah, you can't spend the last 23 years attacking to the point where it becomes numb and expect attacking her again to rattle her.

I thought Anderson Cooper mentioned that talking about Bill's past is how Trump is going to try to rattle her.

The motherfucker never practiced behind a podium. He had no idea what he was doing.
If his version of the story is that his mic was busted but he was too much of a wimp to say anything about it, I'm not sure how that's a good thing.

This was Jeb's strategy vs Rubio.
It went so poorly that Jeb somehow got owned by Rubio.

"Some are new to politics completely. Theyre children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents basement," she said. "They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they dont see much of a future."
Clinton added: "If youre feeling like youre consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesnt pay a lot, and doesnt have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."

The actual quote is a lot more mild than that
"Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement, they feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future. If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a barista, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing."

The only way this is negative is if you take it grossly out of context.
I mean, we heard statements like this coming from Bernie's own camp while addressing the lack of available jobs for young college grads.

Ha, this is like the mildest quote of all time, it's not even mean. It's a sympathetic quote not a dick-hole one.
