Wouldn't put it past him to actually go to the third party one just to mock Jill Stein.

Johnson should insult Trump on Twitter shortly before the Free & Equal debate, to see if he can goad him into showing up.

It's hard to answer that question. With Trump, you really don't know what he will do.

IMHO, strong chance that he starts making weird demands about debate formats (like in the primaries, when he talked about asking the TV networks to pay him an appearance fee), possibly making outlandish demands that he knows Clinton won’t agree to.  He might boycott the CPD-sponsored debates, and demand different debates with different rules.

The two games that he's worried about is a Monday Night Football game on 9/26 with the Atlanta Falcons at the New Orleans Saints that would be on during the first debate. The second game he's worried about is the New York Giants at the Green Bay Packers on 10/9 during the second debate.

The NFL schedule was announced in April, and debate schedule was decided over a year ago. It could've been a Browns-Jaguars game and Trump would still cry about it. Let's face it folks, Trump is scared of conventional one-on-one debates.

I know Hillary will, but Trump....who knows? He didn't show up for that one debate during the campaign, so he's not a sure thing it would seem.

If he can't have something his way then he isn't inclined to play. He's not a stable man.

If Trump backs out Clinton should go and answer the questions without him.

Trump says Hillary is rigging the debates...

Obviously the dates were agreed to by the parties 10 months ago, but that is besides the point I guess. Is his comment about "Unacceptable" the first hint that he is looking for a reason to back out? 
 
If he is trailing in the polls by September his only real chance will be the debates. Plus as the challenger (as Hillary represents the incumbent party) he also has the most potential to gain, especially with low expectations. If he can just come across as credible, he can get a big bump.

Exactly. He will lose moderates badly. This is the type of stuff that works w the base.

Yes. It's likely that he'll be behind in the polls in September needing a gamechanger.
