Will Deplorable Don have a panic attack right before the first debate, and back out?

I'm thinking it could happen. He might say he has the flu, or some other fabrication. Tough guy image would be shot, but at least, in Tiny Whatever's limited brain, he wouldn't be facing total humiliation from a WOMAN.

He's just barely smart and self aware enough to realize he cannot handle brilliant Hillary.

will likely be tuning in to see how he does against Hillary Clinton.

I'm thinking for most of them, this isn't exactly a partisan event. In the privacy of their own homes, I bet they hope she kicks his butt all over the stage.

for quite a while now. I think it's time he had an encounter with Reason and Perspective.

Could clear things up for some fence-sitting independents out there.

He's probably not capable of experiencing the sort of doubt that would result in a panic attack.

No, he'll be there and will spend most of his time complaining about how unfair it all is.

It's not very likely anything of real substance will be discussed. Clinton will probably try to do so, but then she'll got twisted up in trying to refute whatever nonsense Trump has spewed, and it will go downhill from there.

I have long ago decided that I never learn anything remotely useful in the debates, and haven't watched them since 2008. Not that I was a faithful watcher of them before that.

he'll blame the crooked media and/or Crooked Hillary for rigging the debate in her favor and claim it would be unfair to him if he were allowed to debate unless he were paid $10 million or something to that effect.
