It was just announced that Trump surrogate Byron Donalds will be at next week’s debate and allowed to participate in panel discussions.
Here’s the news:

So the candidate who doesn’t want to participate is allowed to have his surrogates there to spin for him? C’mon. He’s trying to have his cake and eat it too.
Here’s some reaction to the news:
So you can be a coward and not attend but then get all your mouthpieces to take your place. Nobody will call out this stupidity because the industry is as bought off as US corporations are to China. https://t.co/6YNVxOz8mo

If you aren't participating then why have surrogates in the spin room?

This should absolutely not be allowed. If the candidate doesn't participate, no surrogates should be allowed to participate. https://t.co/aKU8BpTxGJ
