...if they all quit the debates...Trump will be on alone and debate 9 empty chairs

With the obvious exception of Cruz, is this just a distinction without a difference?

..even better...they can play "good cop bad cop" on the leftie moderator.

I would rather they play "bad cop even badder (and more than a little psychotic) cop" on the moderator. But your way is good, too.

Trump will really snooker the (R)epublicrats by continuing to act like a loose cannon, playing the media like a fiddle and drum up massive anticipation for the first debate when he will walk in tall and polished and acting Presidential and win the nomination right there as millions see it for themselves while the GOPe foots the bill.

There could be no better outcome than beating the (R)ats this way, on their own dime.
