The person who "wins" the debate isn't the one who got the best grades from the media, scored the most jabs at the opponent, or knew the issues best.
The person who wins the debate is the one who does a better job convincing the audience that they are comfortable with him or her in the White House.
I don't know how this will play out, but I would not be surprised if Trump did very well by this measure.
The goal is to win votes.
Trump has to learn a 3 part strategy, a quick answer to satisfy moderator question, what his policy is and why it works, why the democrats policies haven’t work and several examples.
And when it comes to a rebuttal, a quick, relevant, sarcastic, yet polite enough to be palatable. Don’t give a long answer unless you have it nailed down.
This might hurt, so skip over if you don’t want this opinion, but I watched most all of it. He was a mess, didn’t nail the economic debate which should have been simple-middle class need jobs to be middle class, the middle of the debate he did a little better, the end he sucked and couldn’t cobble together his thoughts for a relevant response heeming and hawing over what to say.
Still no rehearsal necessary if he is well informed and has a conservative solution.
