I fully expect him to do this ..... and Johnson and Stein will, of course, support him for obvious reasons. Hillary will likely oppose it.
There will be a lot of drama and the Johnson and Stein supporters will likely be pissed off at her for balking.

Now that would be the least watched "debate" ever - especially if there were an NFL game at the same time.
You seriously expect people are going to want to tune in to listen to a boring speaker? Better still for boredom ...... have then include Kaine with Hillary!

Not that the schedule was rigged but that it makes no sense for them to be scheduled on days that conflict with football games. Those who were involved in the scheduling know perfectly well that there are NFL games on Sunday and Monday. So they should have scheduled the debates on a different day of the week.
In the Democratic primaries there was a lot of rigging of dates and times for the debates. If the debates are that important both campaigns should want to have them on dates that would ensure maximum viewership.
The debates in 2012 were also scheduled during football games, and ratings didn't suffer.
Only one was ..... and in 2008 none were.

He retired in 1992 and has done a book on the psychohistory of Hillary and Bill Clinton, short stories, book reviews and travel pieces. He is currently writing and doing sculpture and painting.
not the PP - But a quick Google search with his name, followed by an in-text search for Clinton, can produce some quick results. You should try it.

Not an NFL team. He owned a USFL team, and basically ruined the league.
You can look it up.
Well the USFL did win $3 (yes, $3 even after trebling its damages award of $1) in its antitrust lawsuit against the NFL when Trump convinced the owners to move the season from the Spring to the Fall in direct competition with the NFL, presumably in an effort to precioation a merger of the leagues with the ESPN contact being a big piece of the pie. More Trump business acumen.
