Please see my comment #25.
He is the front runner and, fair or not, the expectations are higher.
Ok, I see what you mean. I believe he is doing that. It is still early in this election cycle and he is, in my opinion, offering specifics. One new one every two or three weeks will put a lot of meat on his proposed path forward. And leader or not, if the others do not do similarly, they are assured of being 'also rans'!
It is time for the debates to start getting into these specifics, and make each candidate answer the same specific issue questions. We need to see the candidates debating, not the moderators doing the 'debating'. Faux Snooze screwed up big time in the first 'debate', which never came close to being a 'debate'. That was all about the three 'establishment stooges' trying to bait Trump. A Paux on them!
