Here’s what I think he meant. I watched his Gretta Van Susteren interview and he said the same thing. From that viewing, I think he meant this.
He doesn’t feel the need to brush up for a debate. He feels that his views are solid enough to merely speak from his core.
That is something I have championed here as I took others to task for not being able to. There were times when President Bush would be presented with an excellent opportunity to educate, but he would either take a pass or offer up comments that missed the mark terribly.
This was evidence that at his core, he did not harbor true Conservative beliefs. Yes, in some ways he could display Conservative ideals, but it was a struggle for him.
If you’re a Conservative, someone can ask you a question on a subject you’ve never heard of before, and know how to respond to it based on the Conservative framework you have come to know and buy into. If you haven’t come to know it, and haven’t bought into it, you can’t.
Trump believes he can. From what I have seen of his presentations and the way he answers questions, I’m beginning to believe him.
As time goes by, we’ll see this confirmed or shot down. Time will tell...
He has spent a lot of time in and survived in a very vigorous REAL arena.
He is absolutely the anti-Obama.
Trump runs purely off of instinct it seems.
Reagan was the last extemporanious speaker of American worth and value
You’re correct Trump can easily stand on his own without much of any debate prep.
I think he would probably need to brush up just a little on foreign policy-just to be prepared. It can be tricky even for the smartest and wealthiest candidates. He’s got the rest down.
