Just how big will the ratings be for the first trump-clinton debate?

[Matty]

Romney and Obama's first cagematch drew 67.2 million folks in.

I could see trump bring in around 85 to 90 million.

Huuuuuuuuuuuge but not Yuuuuuuuuuuuge.

[Oakvale]

Big, beautiful, classy ratings.

[136or142]

The ratings by themselves will make America great again.

Trump will refuse to debate Clinton

They'll both be over 70. It'll be the slowest debate ever. :zzz:

Trump will just unload

"Hillary, why did you support a $2 trillion war against Iraq that lead to ISIS?"

"Hillary, why did you say we should believe rape victims, but not those of your husband's?"

"Hillary, why do you have top secret emails on your home server?"

If he lobs up those 3 easily refutable softballs, we'll know for sure he's a Clinton plant...

Hillary wont debate him in the traditional format.

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

There won't be one because Trump won't be GOP nominee.

I could see TRUMP refusing to debate on any number of grounds, including Hillary running some ad he doesn't like, not receiving payment (to his favorite charities) from either the commission or the news network moderating a given debate, an oddly convenient campaign event, or outright saying he doesn't believe he needs a debate to defeat her. The chances of this happening would be way higher if the commission seemed likely to invite whoever the libertarians nominate.

There's also the possibility of TRUMP pulling a Gingrich - refusing to debate Hillary according to the commission's schedule and instead demanding her adherence to his preferred schedule or style of debating. (For those who don't remember, Gingrich said he would demand Obama agree to an alternative plan of seven Lincoln-Douglas debates)

Assuming they actually did debate each other, the viewership would be close to 100 Million.
