I never said I was sure of anything. This is all speculation.
I'm sure Trump has had his share of boardroom scuffles and it's clear to see he comes out on top more often than not.
I would assume those meetings had to do with issues of which he was informed but when it comes to politics he has never held a political office so he is a political infant. There's an enormous difference in the two situations.
He may just mop the floor with most of these guys.
Mop the floor with guys on issues they are familiar with and he is not? lol! Believe that if you want but I don't think so.
Also, the debate format, which usually limits a response to about 90 seconds, ensures that one cannot get too deep in the weeds on a particular issue.
Debates are won purely on tactics and soundbites. Trump has those in spades. Think about all the debates we've been through the past 40 years or so and what can you remember from them? Sound bites like "You're no JFK" and "There you go again" and "I'm paying for this microphone" and "Are you better off now than you were 4 year ago" and "Where's the Beef."
We're not talking MENSA stuff here.
Trump also has the money to hire the advisors who will ensure he is briefed on the issues so he doesn't embarrass himself. As well, he can hire an entire team of comedy writers to come up with one-liners that he can use. I think the Letterman writers are looking for work, are they not?
“Mop the floor with guys on issues they are familiar with and he is not? lol! Believe that if you want but I don’t think so.”
Number 1, a whole lot of the overpopulated field of Pub candidates are politically ill informed too, or are on the WRONG side of the issues. And you think The Donald isn’t going to prepare for these debates beforehand? How politically naive are YOU? Also, beware the photographic memory; The Donald has one. He will not only be prepared, he will parry and thrust and the other candidates know that.
