The recent challenges by the Clinton campaign need to be met. I know it is an old political trick to challenge the other side to a debate. And, I know it is a sign of weakness on their side that they are resorting to this.
But, most people will see his not answering the challenges as weasely, and they will not let it drop. He needs to respond to her requests with scenarios and dates that work best for him.
Challenge her to an open forum debate where thousands of people can come in Nebraska.
Challenge her to a debate in Hawaii :)
Challenge her to a debate at Tulane University only with students.
The thing is, you can't let the challenges go unmet or they will use it against the campaign. The other risk in a debate is that people like both candidates and want a split ticket. That inevitably leads to Clinton on top. To avoid this, in the debates, you should avoid being to overly flattering of Clinton. Don't swing the other way and be overly aggressive like in South Carolina, but don't offer unnecessary compliments or "I agree with Senator Clinton"'s.
