Political debates are about ideas, positions and policy, not life experiences...

You know, to flesh out if if your ideas have merit and are thought out, positions that are acceptable, policies that work....

Cruz has that down pat, maybe even too nicely packaged...

Trump doesn’t even know how to articulate his own positions or policies...

I am not knocking him for it, that’s simply not Trump strong point or style...

Nope. It’s about emotional persuasion.

Check out this clip of Reagan, which is probably his most remembered moment of his debates:

See anything about ideas, positions, or policy there? It was all about insulting Mondale in a funny and backhanded way. It’s all emotion.
