The most important asset the candidate needs is to be a good debater especially when your up against liars and cheats. We need a debater that has balls with his advisory as well as the commentators! We can be confident in knowing that zero will be fed what he needs by his handlers and the commentators will dance around him, handle him with soft gloves while ripping the contender a new “a” hole. The debates are important to win if we have a poor debater he wins!
We need someone who will not completely fall apart in a debate.
Win a debate, lose a debate, I don’t know.
We want to make sure that our nominee won’t be so embarrassingly bad that we lose house seats and senate seats.
