Actually, Dope, I think Trump -for once- was smart. He doesn't want to be in public answering questions. I'm sure his lawyers don't want that either. Even if the debates should be about policy, they never really are. (They're not even actual debates, or at least not any format that I ever learned when I was in school.) Other candidates will find ways to bring up the indictments, and Trump doesn't want to have to answer/retort.
Honestly, and somewhat puzzlingly, he's still way out ahead in the Rep polls, so I doubt skipping the debates will hurt him much. I suspect he will be the Rep nominee (unless he suddenly plummets in the polls...but if indictments do make that happen, I don't know what would).
