Will we have as many Clinton/Trump debates as there were Obama/Romney debates? [View all]

Here's some interesting historical info that I found regarding the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) and the 2012 debates.


POLL QUESTION: How many debates are Clinton and Trump likely to have? (In 2012 there were three presidential debates and 1 vice-presidential debate.)


10 votes, 0 passes | Time left: Unlimited
Same number as in 2012. (All agreed-to debates completed.)
3 (30%)
Fewer than previously. (But, all agreed-to debates completed.)
0 (0%)
Incomplete: Fewer than previously. (Trump has a tantrum and refuses to show up.)
7 (70%)
No debates, no agreement reached. (Candidates fight it out in the media and in separate town-hall events.)
