Is it because he doesn't want to sign the paper saying he will support the nominee if he doesn't get it?

He’d be a hero to his stupid base when he had to have the courage it would take to renege on the pledge, blaming it on a conspiracy against him.

This is because his supporters are amongst the dumbest, most gullible and hateful people in the nation.

They’d much rather watch a video of a doofus asking him questions that had been provided by Trump himself. They don’t have any interest in hearing anything others have to say, just their god man.

One would think it would get boring hearing the same, obviously fictitious, dribble from the same angry man all the time. But again, his supporters are idiots, and it’s an exercise in futility trying to understand them.

Part of it is that. Part of it is that he'll probably be facing a more controlled debate than previous primary debates, so he can't just talk around things and be brash.

Remember him stalking Hillary around the stage... was cringe AF

He’s trying to create the image that the primary is over before it even began.

He's showing that he's willing to split the party

He's showing he is the party.
