Poll: Will Trump not show up for the debate or walk out?

[ificandream]

There's a discussion on USA Today that he'll be too chicken to show up, but I think he'll make a big squawk and quit in the middle of it. He's no politician, just an actor. And he loves to put on a show.

1. Trump will have the excuse that Atlanta is in a different time zone from Miami, Florida.

2. Hard choice I think he'll cancel but the closer it gets I think maybe he'll show up

But I don’t think he can handle Joe for 90 minutes without his screaming fans. I don’t think he’ll make till the end

3. If Djt sees that Biden is doing well in the first part of the debate

I think he'll come up with a complaint ( that Biden is drugged) and walk out, or just not return after the break. In that case, hope Joe will continue answering questions and make a very strong final statement, like " The last man standing here stands for you, the American people!"

4. If he even shows up, he will see he is doing badly and walk out.

At the first break.

He will say the questions are too hard and unfair to him, though they may be the same ones asked of Joe Biden.

5. Don't buy this bullshit. This is pro-Trump bunk

"Will he show up or just walk out?"

Bulloney. Has he ever done this in any single debate he's agreed to show up at? When did Trump ever walk away from free air time?

This is just more setting the bar lower for His Blobitude's performance. Now, if he completes the hour without puking on his own penny loafers, his cultdrones will declare a victory. He "beat expectations"

Please quit falling for the same trick

6. Maybe he's too traumatized by the torture he endured in the Atlanta prison to return there.

Debilitating psychological conditions as a result of torture can last a lifetime.

Once again the sacrifices he has made for his people come back to haunt him. He allowed himself to be tortured in order to save the rest of us from torture.

7. He will show up, ignore the debate rules, continue to shout after his mic is killed, and then ...

after getting his saggy ass kicked all over the debate stage, he will go on FOX"news" to claim that the moderators were biased but he won anyway.

8. THIS! 👍

15. I think you nailed it.

And he will throw in something like "I always said CNN was "fake news" and they proved it tonight".

[dameatball]

9. Yes. He will show up. He will lie. He will appeal to base instincts. He will try to disrupt.

Unless the moderators have their shit together this will not be a classic "debate." Hasn't been so far since 2015 or so. Joe will stay the course and handily win what ever is left of any debate. I have seen this movie before.
I think it would be great if he didn't show and Biden could talk to an empty chair. Doubt that will happen.

10. he will show up and try to show he is the dominant male using bully tactics. that's what he always does mt

[Blue Owl]

11. He'll sulk out like after a Tulsa rally

12. Why didn't you include "Trump will stay for the duration of the debate"?

Which is what will happen.

[ificandream]

14. So I should have been fair to Trump?

Ah, no.

[brooklynite]

16. Bearing in mind that a DU poll will have no impact on Trump...

If however, the only point was to get everyone to agree that Trump is coward, I leave you to your revels.

[DET]

13. Hard to Say

If I understand correctly, the Supreme Court will be releasing at least some decisions during the rest of the week. If any decisions go against Trump or put him in a bad mood, all bets are off.

[ZonkerHarris]

17. 3/C. He will show up and finish the debate.

he may not do well but he will be there and lie a lot.

[DemocraticPatriot]

18. Your poll is flawed, as it does not include the third possibility

that Trump will show and do the entire debate...

That is not necessarily my opinion, but I hope that he does--
because the more that the non-magats see TFG, the less they like him.

[Polybius]

19. Horrible poll

Where's the option for what will happen? Trump shows up as scheduled and stays until it's over.

[GoodRaisin]

20. I think his plan is

he will show up, and when he gets his mic turned off he will try screaming louder to drown out Biden. When told by Bash or Tapper he can’t scream, he will get mad and walk off, then claim the debate was rigged by Biden and the fake news in collaboration. By the next news day, all Republicans will fall in line and claim the debate was rigged.
