If there is a debate sans Trump, I'm only going to be interested in how many watch it, not what is said in the debate.
If the ratings are seriously low without Trump compared to the ratings with Trump, then he'll both have the last word and will have won the debate without even being there.
Want to bet that Drudge will include Trump’s name in his survey on who won?
And that you’ll go there and cast a voter for Trump, as will tens of thousands of other Trump supporters?
And that Trump will win going away?
