I kind of think the left will create some pathetic scandal to "disqualify" Trump before a debate can ever take place. Something that Hillary can walk on stage with, should it not stop Trump, and then state "his opinion doesn't count because blah, blah, blah..." That is just the way they work, kind of like the democrat voter setup for sanders.
Oh, yes. and not just a scandal, but scandals. And the media will headline them, one after another. On the NBC nightly news, on Yahoo.com, etc. Fact-checks will come after the election, if at all. Media propaganda is a powerful tool, and should not be underestimated.
