Trump's atrocious debate behavior is discreditable. He has been able, however, to take advantage of a crowded stage to turn multiple debates into mud wrestling contests. Trump hurls an insult, says something idiotic, tells a lie, changes the subject, interrupts, or talks over everyone else ... and the event flows on, in a degraded kind of way, because there are multiple candidates fighting for time instead of one opponent who can focus on the imbecility of the moment.
To this point, whenever Trump drops a bomb, we get crosstalk, and the moderators move on with new questions. It will be a different game when a single opponent can press the point.
I would not be surprised if Trump refuses to participate in one on one debates, because he is not well enough informed or quick enough on his feet to hold his own in a setting where he can't simply hurl an insult and change the subject. Cruz will utterly destroy him one on one, if we get to that point. But Trumpsters needs to understand that so will Hillary, and even Bernie, who is also a fool but who has better manners, better delivery, and better lines, and who know a lot more than Donald.
I would pay good money to see Cruz debate Trump one on one.
He manages to get through multiple candidate debates by constant babbling. The debates have been run so badly.
It’s obvious that Trump does not have the self discipline to stay quiet while others are talking so there should be a way to cut off his mike.
Trump, aided a bit by Rubio, has made the debates an embarrassing circus saved only by Ted Cruz calm, reasoned points.
Breathe Trump, breathe.
