It'll never have a chance to look bad. Do you honestly think that if Reince

went to whatever network and said "if you let Johnson be on stage with less than 15%, you'll have to do it without The Donald" that there is a single network that wouldn't buckle in a second? (same for DWS and Hillary for that matter) Of course not, they are all ratings whores and wouldn't dare risk letting that debate go to a rival network with The Donald.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Johnson somehow got to 15%, that DWS and Reince would "agree" that a candidate had to have 20%. And still get away with it.

Again, I would love to see it, and I don't think one more would dilute it, but I doubt it will happen. The only possibility may be if Trump wants it, which may not be a bad move on his part because I still think Hillary will destroy him on facts/knowledge if it's one on one.
