She's probably trying to figure out how to weasel out of all of the debates. She's definitely going to dodge the last one. Check them both for those ear pieces too.

Really? The only candidate I've heard grumbling about not attending debates is Trump.

SFC Mark Merino - Yes, he will show, and if the moderator keeps it to policy he'll get trounced. Hopefully the moderator doesn't let him turn it into an insult-fest like those that defined the GOP primaries.

That is a Republican vs. Democrat debate... it is not a debate of all Presidential candidates.

MCPO Roger Collins - The threshold as it exists today is so high that no third party candidate could attain it. The point isn't that it's 1% or 2% or 0.9%... it's that it allows a third party candidate or two to also be heard. Instead of providing a forum for Presidential candidates the CPD is acting as a gate keeper to block any candidate who isn't Democrat or Republican. We need to find an organization willing to host a debate between all candidates, not just those with billions in corporate sponsorship.

MCPO Roger Collins - There are only 4 candidates registered in enough states to potentially win the election. Right now the number is limited to 2, the Democratic and Republican nominee.
I don't known that Stein or Johnson have been able to make their case before the American people, because most Americans have never heard of them and most of those that know they exist don't know anything about their platform.

Rules can be changed, but not to the extent that the CPD will bring back the chaos encountered in the past. If you can't get 15%, you have a cult following, not a force to drive the nation, JMHO.
