Chances are Donald Trump has mastered the art of under-promise, over-deliver.
The man best known for his confidence, even arrogance, has a surprisingly humble attitude toward his own debate skills.
The pressure not to make a critical mistake was already great enough on the top candidates participating in next weeks Republican presidential debate, but it has increased exponentially with the emergence of the outspoken business magnate as the GOP front-runner.
The other candidates have their hands full developing a Trump strategy to counter what the leading contender may do a task made all the more difficult when Trump himself doesnt know.
*snip*
Its enough to keep the other campaigns on edge while prepping for the debate perhaps by design.

Trump is playing chess ...
I doubt the Cruz campaign is “on edge”. Debating is his strong suit.
“Trump is playing chess ...”
His enemies in the GOPe, Democrats and media establishment aren’t.
They flip the board over and hit their opponent over the head.
The thing I like about Trump is he flips their boards over, can take a hit and hits back.
Is it just me or does anyone else believe the debates will be Trump’s undoing...
Not because of the RINO’s, but because he lacks specifics and does nothing but talk. That ain’t going to get it done.
If you believe he lacks specifics you haven’t done much research into him, you’re just accepting the media line.
Cruz is not under pressure, he will just speak the truth, Trump will likewise not be under pressure, when asked about specific details on this, that or the other thing, he will just respond, I'm a smart guy, I make lots of money, I will fix every thing, that's what I do, everyone knows that, what other details do you need.
Jeb is a policy wonk, and knows pretty much what he is talking about. If, however he overwonks and bores hell out of all of us, he won’t do so well.
I listen to his interviews...I can even post excerpts for you.
The trouble you have is that I do listen...you refuse to accept he isn’t perfect. Not my problem.
“I doubt the Cruz campaign is on edge. Debating is his strong suit.”
This isn’t going to be a debate, it will be a beauty contest, filled with focus-tested gotcha’s, that will devolve into a shouting contest as the establishment “Candidates” try to defend bush.
JUST WATCH...
LOL, I don’t think he’s perfect, no one is. However, instead of listening to media excerpts of his interviews, I read his positions, very clearly stated in his books.
“Not because of the RINOs, but because he lacks specifics and does nothing but talk.”
Can you precisely relate what YOUR candidate has done, or any other candidate has done, besides talk? Talking is what candidates do. None of them can “do” anything now because they are not elected yet. What Trump HAS DONE is zoom to the top, because of all the candidates talking, people prefer the way he talks and FIGHTS. Fighting is something else he has DONE.
I really like Donald Trump.
But he doesn’t understand the constitution!!
No, it’s just you.
Not because of the RINOs, but because he lacks specifics and does nothing but talk
Ha...you need to watch a couple of his 1 hour plus speeches....
no teleprompter....looks like a single page note (that he put back into his inside coat pocket at the end of the speech I watched)
...and a lot of detail
WOW
what a great interview
Thank you for posting this
Every freeper should watch
“Is it just me or does anyone else believe the debates will be Trumps undoing...”
Actually, in reading your other posts, the word believe should be changed to “hope.” You hope it’s his undoing, but I’ll bet even you don’t “believe” it will.
