+1,000 Trump served a purpose he’s fun to watch when he destroys GOPe squishes, but the man has a very liberal history and an abrasive nature that will not work on the national stage.
So you missed the Fox News/Facebook debate on TV the other day?
I believe we could call that a "national stage." 35 million viewers.
Trumps numbers increased after that.
I believe there are reruns on Fox News of the NATIONAL STAGE debate that you can watch to catch up.
