Donald Trump raised objections to the general election debate scheduling Friday, saying that it was rigged by the Democrats.
In a late night tweet, Trump voiced his displeasure with the fact that two of the debates are during NFL games.
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!

Both Trump and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) have taken issue with debate schedules in the past. Trump planned on skipping two debates because of scheduling conflicts and because “we’ve had enough debates,” though the second debate was ultimately cancelled. Sanders took issue with Clinton’s refusal to debate in California.
Kinna figured he’d do this.
He won’t debate her.
The debates were scheduled in 2015. Hard to imagine Hillary had a hand in this.
The debate schedule was agreed to by both parties some time ago. As usual Trump lies and the media fails to inform.
You just knew this was coming…talking a page from scrubs playbook.
That’s they key he is relying on heavily.
However, the politico article clearly states that the debates were scheduled last year by a non partisan board that had zero input from either candidate (who weren’t even candidates at the time).
