Trump seems to have boycotted the notion of any further debates, and Hillary's presumably sick of Sanders and ready to just say "the race is over."  There don't appear to be any more GOP debates scheduled, and the dems are done although this website alleges there are april and may debates, without any plans.

Are we going to see any more showdowns or is it all over until September?

Nah. Maybe some more Democratic "forums" but debate season is pretty much over.

Clinton and Sanders agreed to two more debates, one in April and one in May, but who knows if they will actually happen.

The Republican side needs more debates, especially if this becomes a two man Trump v. Cruz race.

I would love to see a Cruz-Trump debate but I doubt Donald wants one.

I wish there were more GOP debates. Trump's lack of knowledge was noticeable at the last one. It would be more apparent in a 2 or 3 person debate.

Lyin' Ted wastes too much of the Donald's precious time anyhow. Not sure on the Dem side, but hope so.

Trump is in a strong enough position that he can refuse to debate anymore, and it likely helps him by denying Cruz/Kasich any free media time. Furthermore, the more debating time he gets, the worst he looks. His lack of policy knowledge is harder to hide behind bluster and general trumpiness when he is one of only 2 or 3 candidates. I can't see him ever agreeing to debate Cruz one on one, and I frankly won't be surprised if he and Hillary don't end up having traditional debates.

Most likely no more GOP debates, but there is a CNN "townhall" with Trump, Kasich, Cruz, Clinton, and Sanders tomorrow.

Do we need any more debates? The candidate's positions and temperaments have been made pretty clear by now; what more can be learned by having more debates before the conventions? Aside from the entertainment and income generating aspects of these things, I can think of no real reason to want more of the same.
