Assuming Hillary doesn’t have another collapse or some other
health issue, there will be two candidates at the first Presidential debate
on Sept. 26: Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. From The Hill:
The Commission on Presidential
Debates announced on Friday that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and their
running mates are the only candidates who will participate in the upcoming
debates.
This means Trump (R) and
Clinton (D) will take part in the Sept. 26 debate at Hofstra University in New
York and that Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and Green
Party nominee Jill Stein have not been invited.
The Oct. 4 vice presidential
debate will just include Democrat Tim Kaine and Republican Mike Pence.
Some of the crystal balls got this one wrong. Politico ran a story
on the possibility of third party candidate participation. Treehouse captured text of the recent full-page ad in The New York
Times that gave every appearance of greasing the polling wheels to get Johnson
onto the debate stage. Evidently, it didn’t work.
