Trump participera-t-il aux débats?

Il y a peu Donald Trump laissait planer le doute sur sa participations aux débats des 26 septembre, 9 et 19 octobre. Il attendait de savoir qui seraient les modérateurs, une attitude qui laisse perplexe. On sait maintenant que Lester Holt, Martha Raddatz, Anderson Cooper et Mike Wallace, tous les quatre crédibles et expérimentés, vont diriger la circulation. Que fera Trump? Un candidat peut-il s'opposer à ces choix et imposer les siens? En attendant que l'équipe de Trump fasse connaître la réponse du milliardaire, cet article du Washington Post présente un topo des relations entre Trump et chacun des modérateurs.

 Un extrait:

 "Trump participated in a primary debate moderated by Raddatz but faced only a few questions from her: Raddatz split duties with ABC's David Muir, and there were seven candidates onstage. The exchanges were uneventful.

But Raddatz absolutely grilled Trump last summer in his first interview after saying Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is "not a war hero." She also confronted Trump about his rhetoric, in general.

 "There seems to be a pattern, Mr. Trump," Raddatz said. "When you're criticized or attacked, you often respond with name-calling, using terms like 'dummy,' 'loser,' 'total losers' on Twitter and elsewhere. You even demean some people's physical appearance. Is that something you would continue doing if you were president? Isn't that language beneath the office of the president?""
