Both candidates agreed of their own free will to the location, terms, date, moderators and rules. If either side now perceives the agreement is unfair, the candidate has the option of not showing at the appointed time.
GAG ORDER PRESIDENCIAL DEBATE, for trump only. This is the only way to keep him under wraps. Wonder how trump will move around this. When he is asked a question go off thier directed plan.
