I have been pondering that point--can Trump be concise--and think that just because he speaks in a rambling style doesn't mean that he can't also be concise.

When has he ever shown it? In all his speeches and all his interviews he has rambled and bragged and made wild promises, generally over the course of a few minutes. What passes for debates in our presidential election cycle are like nothing he's ever done before. He will be on stage facing an audience, a sizeable percentage of who don't think he has the gravitas to be president, and have to deliver a clear, concise message in a short period of time. I don't think he can do it. I fully expect Trump will demonstrate that lack of stature for the office for all to see. And I fully expect Ted Cruz to blow the doors off the place. And come August 7 then I think you'll see Trumps numbers dropping and Ted Cruzs numbers shooting up.

You may be correct, but Trump might hold his own.

As a former New Yorker, I've seen him in many, MANY interviews over the years and he can be brief when he has to.

I wouldn't predict with any certainly that he will go one way or another in the debates.

It will be interesting to see how his stage presents compares to other candidates. I don't remember seeing him actually share the stage with anyone else.
