Or he's making a gamble that he'll be fine going 1 versus 3.

OK. I can accept that as a possibility. The tables are tilted against Trump, but the mighty Trump can overcome that unfairness.

Of course, we have to consider what happens if Trump is not fine at the end of this. The logical conclusion would be that he didn't assess the situation correctly - the bias against him was larger than he thought - or that he simply failed to perform and overcome the correctly assessed bias against him. Complaining after the fact that the debate was biased is an admission that Trump made one of these errors. (Or that one of my previous arguments was correct - that he's a bad negotiator, or incorrectly thought that Tapper would be fair.) None of these are good qualities for a President of the United States.

Which is what is going to happen.

Obviously, I disagree with your pre-determined conclusion, mainly because I think Trump is a moron. But what you and I think is pretty much irrelevant.

These debates are to sway enough undecided voters to vote for one of the candidates to assure a victory. The polling between the two candidates is very close. It will be the currently undecided voters who will pick the next President.
