Campaign manager: Trump would be willing to do another debate

Source: The Hill

Donald Trump's campaign manager says the GOP presidential nominee is willing to do another debate against Hillary Clinton.

"The debates are a very unique opportunity for all of America to see these candidates side by side. And I wish there were more debates," Kellyanne Conway said in an interview with John Catsimatidis on Sunday.

"I think Donald Trump would challenge Hillary Clinton to another debate for a very simple reason: Unless you are a money donor, you are not going to have much access to Hillary Clinton out on the stump now," she continued.

"So, to give people a free opportunity to see them side by side and have them really mix it up on the issues to me is the purest form of democracy," she said.

A debate just doesn't happen - there's the preparation of getting a location, moderator, and other workers, dealing with the campaigns on what kind of debate, and finally, the candidates have to find time to prepare as well as block off that time for the actual debate. In the final two weeks, if Trump isn't completely booked doing events like Hillary surely is, that's another indication he and his team don't know what they're doing.

He just wants to be able to say that Hillary is too chicken to debate him again.

She's referred to "hours of debating" Trump in terms that make it clear that she's had enough.

Sorry, Trump--no do-overs. Not that you'd do any better than in the first three debates, but the American people are too busy voting and GOTV to waste time listening to you sniffling again.
