El Trumpo says that the DNC is up to the old tricks that were proven by the Wikileaks email dump of attempting to fix the election. This time he says they’re attempting to bury the debates:
As usual, Hillary & the Dems are trying to rig the debates so 2 are up against major NFL games. Same as last time w/ Bernie. Unacceptable!

From the Hill:
This year’s general election is set to include three presidential and one vice presidential debates, all announced on Sept. 23 of last year.
Two of the presidential debates do indeed coincide with NFL games: The first, on Monday, Sept. 26, falls the same evening as a matchup between the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints. And the second, set for Sunday, Oct. 9, will air opposite a game between the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers.
To be fair, those are not big games, but any NFL game gets yuge interest and ratings, so el Trumpo has a point here. This shows that Hillary does indeed fear debating the Donald…
UPDATE:
We have confirmed that the Donald is a complete moron:
Indeed, NFL schedule announced this April. Debate sked announced sept 2015 >> https://t.co/EuM5JhM2BJhttps://t.co/a7O3qvt1U0
