I think everyone underestimates Trump. Trump has cut his teeth on competing with vipers in the New York developer market. He has done it over 3 decades. Trump is a man who has a very strong sense of purpose and he studies his competition. That the other candidates are going to somehow goad him into the open so they can savage him is totally, totally naïve.

To Trump this is no more than knocking his competition out one by one the way he is used to doing when competing for a development project. The candidates have no idea what they are up against.

“You only attack the king if you can kill him; otherwise you leave him alone, because the king will kill you,”

They've already come after him. He flicked them aside like bugs hitting the windshield of a semi.

It looks like it's shaping up to be a bunch of good ole' boys who have had an easy time of it. And maybe they're going to have to debate a street fighter who came up the hard way.

That might give someone pause for concern.

McCain called Trump supporters crazy
Rand Paul called Trump supporters insane
Linda Graham said Trump is ruining his Party

Perhaps Luntz is right

I wish that there was a way to score the moderators. Have them also put some skin in the game and be punished or rewarded for their individual actions and be graded on their ties, hair, shoes, or more importantly the quality of their questions.

Surely Ted Cruz is not worried. He was a national champion debater in college; he should be able to handle anything.

God save the Republic.

They should have read his books. He’s not a debater but he is an author. 15 are listed at Amazon books. The revision of one written in 2011 comes out the day of the debate. Reading through the synopsis he has laid out the detailed plans for all those generalities he has been spewing the past month.

One brilliant man!

You can bet Yeb is packing his Triple Layer Depends.

We will know who the GOPe stalking horses in the coming debate.

I predict the ones on lowest end of the polls will attack Trump.
They will be exposed as doing the dirty work for Yeb, so Yeb can avoid
getting into the muck.

At least one someone is going to be so full of themselves that they'll make an ass out of themselves...It won't be Trump.

This is going to be like grade school debate class for him.

He won't have to knock one person during the so called debate. He can wait until after, when the media will be running past the children to talk to the teacher.

They may have to actually answer a question or take a position on an issue.
