“You said that all Cruz had to do was agree with Trump”
Yeah. That’s only saying that when Trump puts these issues on the campaign map by making “controversial” statements that get the media to go nuts, Cruz has the benefit of already having those positions, and merely having to agree (or not disagree), and can completely avoid the firestorm that Trump goes through.
“I’m concerned about Trump in a debate with Hillary. He has survived the debates thus far on his popularity, not on his ability to argue the issues.”
Debates dont mean as much as people think (as this primary season is showing). As long as you dont pull a Mondale and say you are going to raise taxes, spend time looking at your watch, look like a Gore-bot or say that you wouldn’t want the death penalty if your wife was rapped, they usually dont sway many.
I hope you are right about the debate issue. Frankly, I like Trump and think he would make a good leader for the country, but he does not have an in depth knowledge of many of the issues. It shows in some of the debate questions.
Hillary is a professional liar and B.S. artist and can come across as knowledgeable to voters not informed enough to know she’s wrong.
If Trump is in the debate, the audience size will automatically be greatly increased. Unless he gets up to speed on the issues, that could be a problem.
