I think the debates will not be a success for Trump because he will have a very short period of time to get his point across and he’s tempermentally unable to do it. He goes off on so many tangents and random thoughts that his time will run out half way to the point he was trying to make.

I’ll bet Cruz is cool as a cucumber. This is right up his alley. I wish he could break the top tier and get in there.

I predict you'll see Cruz in the top tier after people see his debate performance.

Fist—Don’t Debate Donald! Tell America what you would do to save the nation. Answer the questions but stay above the mud! Be like Cruz. Have good answers and some good one liners to steal Trumps bomblastic words—like “If I get the nomination—I will select so and so—for VP.” Or “On day one in the White House—right after the parade—I will cancel all of Obama’s “Excutave Orders”. or “On day one I will meet with my ‘Shadow Cabinate’ before the parties—and set up a new vision for America—I will hit the ground running!” You can’t be Trump—but you can show how you are the leader America wants.

Doubled his total thanks to the Donald. Now up to 2%, which will qualify him for the kid’s table.

10 candidates on stage .. 2 hours (120 minutes) debate time for questions/answers, commercial breaks, etc.
Divided equally that is 12 minutes per candidate. Now take out all the activities and ultimately
each candidate will have less than double digits of time to answer, imo. So how many questions will
each candidate be asked and answered? Not many....

"The fear is palpable."

They're genuinely afraid of this guy.

Certainly it's because he'll call them out on their betrayals of the GOP Primary base voters.

And that will be devastating for all of them.

They need to be...EXcept for Cruz, they all agree with each other...They've all got the same plan...

Trump will do what he's already doing...Pointing out that they all failed and his plan is 180 degrees from theirs...
