Empty Chair At Debate? (by Will Sheehy)

As many of you may know, Donald Trump will not be attending the debate hosted by Fox News this Thursday, January 28. This is a bold move, and nobody is sure what is to come from this aggressive action. There is much speculation about what Fox will do and how they will respond. Some people think that Fox should put an empty podium where Trump would usually stand. Others believe that Fox will do nothing and pretend that Trump does not exist. Some of my thoughts on this boycott are 1. Fox should put a dummy of trump in a seat in the middle of the stage and 2. This is a big chance for the rest of the Republican party to attack Trump without having him there to defend himself. When I was watching CNN on the 26th, they said that it is against the GOP rules to put an empty chair on the debate stage. But, if the chair has a dummy sitting in it, is it still declared empty? (Debate rules state that empty chairs or podiums should not be shown)
