My guess? He gets the best Debate Coaching / Mentors money can buy, heck a lot of them will volunteer for free, aka Mr. Newt, Rudy and Christie. IMHO his kids won't let him flub either especially Eric and Ivanka.
His big weakness will be not going in the gutter and sticking to policy and it's benefits. If he can sneak in a quick Reaganesque quip, like Reagan did at Mondale, that might seal the deal...
BTW one more coach he needs is Denesh D’Souza. If anyone can give DJT a look into her gestalt, it would be Denesh. I wouldn’t be surprised if DJT have a team of Psych-OP types giving him a profile of her and perhaps a perspective of her weak points to exploit....
It will be interesting to see what results they finally come up with the day AFTER the election.................and excuses..............
Hillary currently may have 72% of the black vote, that doesn’t mean she’ll get the turnout of black voters that Obama got. On the other hand, black voters for Trump will enthusiastically get out for him.
Hillary can’t get 50 people to show at a rally.
Trump gets tens of thousands.
Trump's supporters are extremely enthusiastic and excited about his candidacy, as can be seen from the size of his rallies. Hillary's candidacy inspires and enthuses virtually nobody, except for a small contingent of aging lesbian harpies who just want to see a female President. The rest of the Democratic base is about as excited with Hillary as we were "thrilled" by Romney or McCain's candidacies.
Another observation today unfortunately through listening to Glenn Beck is that the TPP basically has one third of the 6000 page document deals with trade the other four thousand Pages deal with a new world Constitution where other companies can see our us companies but we cannot see them. Even the Heritage Foundation turn Glen down to be interviewed about it. It gives away our sovereignty.
Those planning to vote for Johnson need to reassess their priorities and realize their votes are only helping Hillary into the White House. Is that what they really want?
Otherwise they need to get their act together and support Trump. We definitely need new leadership in the White House. Someone who will truly focus on getting the US back on its feet — Trump, to “make America great again.”
The reason many think that Trump apparently won most of the Republican debates even if he didn't. I watched the debates from the get-go knowing that I was for Cruz or Trump. Even so, I came away from some debates thinking Rubio had the best night, or Carson, or Cruz. Nevertheless, many voters thought Trump won almost every time; and considering how the primaries worked out, I guess he did.
A great thing about the debates is that Trump can make a point and register a win before the media can develop a meme to squelch him.
This is probably about accurate for right now.
Rasmussen may lean a little to the right, but Trump also probably has more of that undercounted, occasional vote this year.
Wouldn’t hurt for him to stay a little out of the news for a while as surrogates work to keep a negative light on the domestic and foreign record of Obama and Hillary.
Then he’ll be primed to really make an impact in the debates, presuming he’s adequately prepared for them.
Johnson is likely taking 6 of his 9 percent from NeverTrumpers, RINO-leaners, and Cruz supporters.
I think everyone is putting too much hope and expectations into the debates.
I think the debates will not matter and won’t change anyone’s mind.
But a lot of other factors matter — turnout is one of those.
Also -— people need to focus and not throw their votes away on 3rd party candidates.

Johnson and Stein ran in 2012 as well and combined for about one percent of the vote. I don’t think they will be a big factor this race as well. Sure, it’s fashionable for people to say they are for them now, but when they get in that booth, most of them will know it’s a wasted vote and will vote for either the Republican or the Democrat.
Johnson is a selfish spoiler. He’s a weasel faced nerd.
Finally a creditable poll.
Unless You’re a Republican living in a state like Massachusetts and you never liked Trump in the first place so you don’t mind throwing your vote away by voting for Johnson.
Hillary is falling and she can’t get up.
In most recent Presidential elections, Third Party candidates wind up polling ten times higher than what they wind up getting on election day. I'll be surprised if Gary Johnson gets much more than 1-2% come November, and Stein won't get more than a fraction of one percent.
As for these being wasted votes, if they aren't in swing states, these 1-2% of voters don't count for much anyway.
