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?
Not when they are up against one who is not. I believe it will be very apparent. Again, that's just my opinion, we'll have to wait and see.

So did Obama and he made a complete fool of himself in the first debate against Romney.
