I won't watch it - I've seen enough.
But I don't think Trump's abysmal performance is reason to cancel the next debate. These were planned as opportunities for the candidates to have a national platform for their own ideas. Maybe with one more chance they can actually talk about their ideas and show us why we should vote for either of them.
I don't think now is the time to give anyone an opportunity to say their voice was stifled.

Didn't click the link yet. I'm concerned about a complete and utter meltdown on Trump's part on national TV. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he physically attacked her. Effin' loon. Seeing him sputter today--just waiting for him to implode. |

I think several of you have brought up what has worried me - the fact that I couldn't sit and watch with my youngest because of, not only the subject matter, but his behaviour being so menacing and inappropriate . I didn't realize the debates were aired in the U.K. Is there a large audience for them? |

I think it's totally disingenuous to call them debates -- all they've been are pissing contests to see who can insult the other the most, and in the case of the orange one, the loudest. I won't be wasting any more time on the lunatic.

I don't care - I won't watch
but it will be one more opportunity for someone to show his true colors, and probably embarass himself.

I want to see a moderator with a backbone of steel. Mr Trump, STFU and answer the question. Give the moderators a kill switch, if they don't answer the question, go over the time, go off on a ranting tangent to BFEgypt, or just plain liar, liar, pants on fire, the moderator can just kill the mic. Now that would be worth watching!! ABSOLUTELY, THIS!!! |

Before the 2nd debate, I would have said yes, cancel them all. However, after the 2nd debate, I realized that I was shifting from feeling like I was voting for Clinton as the lesser of 2 evils, to feeling more confident in that vote. So perhaps a 3rd debate will seal that decision for me.

Keep it, but let the highest ranked third party candidate (Johnson I think) also debate.
It would be a breath of fresh air, and an alternative to the two idiots.

I didn't actually *watch* the last one, but I followed on Twitter, Facebook and texting with my dd. So I probably won't watch the last one, although we never know... lol But no, I don't think it should be canceled because I'd love yet another chance for Trump to show how crazy he is. Not that it will sway any of his crazy supporters but still...  |

I didn't realize the debates were aired in the U.K. Is there a large audience for them? I'm not sure the size of the audience but they are aired. The next one is being aired by Channel 4 starting at 1.30am until 3.40am. It's a school/work night hence why I don't stay up to watch but you can catch up the next day at a reasonable time. Extended highlights of the first two debates are still available to watch on BBC iPlayer. I do know of one couple living in the west of Ireland who make a point of watching. They love all politics and stay up to watch the UK elections results as well. The BBC have a LIVE feature which is a scrolling text feed of tweets, commentary, pictures, videos etc. They do that for lots of events, political, sports, etc, and I find it very informative and immediate. Usually, by the time I sit down to read the News (6.30am) I also get all the reaction too. Seeing multi page threads on 2Ps means a humdinger! |

No, because i don't want Donald Trump to have any reason to say he wasn't given a fair chance.

Wait...he's already saying that. Still...I don't think another debate is going to change anyone's mind, but it may help cement their decision. I know I made the right choice after watching part of the 2nd debate. The difference between the 2 candidates showed me which one is more fit for office. I may not still agree with Hillary's ideals, but she is definitely scads better than Trump. I used to think that him being in office is no big deal, but now I think he is just scary. |

I had a whole big post typed up, and if disappeared.  No, they should not cancel the debate. I'm not reposting everything I said, but the short is that people deserve to see these two debate the topics they are presented with. ^^^ I agree, but we haven't seen that in the previous debates, so why will the last one be any different?? (meaning Trump seems to answer every question with one or more of, 'emails, Benghazi, Isis, Bill Clinton's philandering') |

(meaning Trump seems to answer every question with one or more of, 'emails, Benghazi, Isis, Bill Clinton's philandering') I am of the mindset that a candidates inability or unwillingness to answer the questions they are presented with says a lot about them as well. Are they knowledgeable, do they have a solid plan, do they drop any names of people who are experienced in dealing with some issue who could serve as an advisor on that topic? Or are they dodging questions because those questions put a light on past behavior? If so, why is that? Are they trying to move the spotlight off themselves into the other person to cover up for the fact that they have no idea what they're talking about and are hoping nobody will notice? I hope that makes sense!! |

I would like to see it cancelled. I think that might be selfish on my part but I'm just tired of the nasty noise.
I'm not sure there are enough undecided's tuning in that will be swayed by anything that could happen in a debate.
I just want the noise to stop. And I don't like seeing Hillary forced to debate such a complete asshole and dumbass. I think it's beneath her.

I think Johnson has crashed and burned with his Aleppo moments. And at a minimum, he should have been able to name the PM of Canada and the President of Mexico, the two countries that border our own. Hell, none of us peas are running for President but we certainly know who Justin Trudeau is. (I want to marry him  )

Yes, I think it should be canceled. I don't think Hilary should lower her self to appear with him. However, she must because if she doesn't she will look week. I don't agree that it should be cancelled, and I don't think Hillary will lower herself to his level. As she said in the last debate "Michelle Obama told me - If they go low, you go high". I think she will maintain her class act. I was just wishing that she had a box of Kleenex with her and that she would smile, pass it his way and sweetly say "Do you need a tissue, Donald?"  |
