Last night he summoned up the courage to venture out onto the Twitter machine and post this:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As usual, Hillary &amp; the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games. Same as last time w\/ Bernie. Unacceptable!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/759222916387069952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 30, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>As usual, Trump and the GOP are trying to hide their fear by accusing everyone of conspiring against them. Trump&#8217;s paranoia is sending him into delusional fits that are precursors to a cowardly retreat, just like when he skipped out on a Fox News debate because he was <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=31200\" target=\"_blank\">too scared<\/a><\/strong> to face Megyn Kelly. Clearly he has a problem with strong women.<\/p>\n<p>For the record, neither Clinton nor the Democratic Party had anything to do with the debate schedule. The Commission On Presidential Debates (CPD) has been managing these affairs since 1988. It is run by former members of both parties who have no affiliation with any candidate. The <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.debates.org\/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&#038;cntnt01articleid=57&#038;cntnt01origid=15&#038;cntnt01detailtemplate=newspage&#038;cntnt01returnid=80\" target=\"_blank\">current schedule<\/a><\/strong> was released nearly a year ago (September 23, 2015), before any of the candidates were chosen. And it would be nearly impossible to find broadcast dates that didn&#8217;t coincide with a popular television program, whether it be the NFL or Law &#038; Order or America&#8217;s Got Talent.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has already demonstrated his tendency to provoke melodrama with regard to candidate debates. He turned the GOP primary debates into feral spectacles of crass immaturity and avoidance of substance. His tantrums succeeded in forcing the Republican National Committee and the media to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=31545\" target=\"_blank\">capitulate to his will<\/a><\/strong>, forcing out networks or media co-sponsors that he didn&#8217;t think were sufficiently deferential to him.<\/p>\n<p>What Trump means by <em>&#8220;Unacceptable&#8221;<\/em> is unclear. Is he declaring now that he is refusing to participate in the debates? Is he demanding that other terms agreeable to him are implemented? Or is he preparing his excuse for when he fails to show up like every other presidential candidate has done for over half a century? In any case he is revealing that he is a sniveling coward who would be knocked senseless were he to step into the ring with Hillary. And he knows it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So look for Trump to continue his whining up to, throughout, and following the debates (if he even shows up).
