I think a level playing field is one thing, but why debate if you're the leader, and the moderator is out to make you look bad? I think you go with you gut. It's a win win for Trump.

Name a softball question that was thrown at Cruz the last debate. The first two question were gotcha questions from hades. The debate that Trump first took issue with Kelly had just as tough questions thrown at all the candidates. Nobody but Trump complained. Just a fact of life, conservative get the tough questions because democrats just hee-haw lawyer talk when asked anything beyond what type of underwear they prefer.

It's a win win for Trump.

It may be, Trump is no wiz at debating, he is constantly getting booed this year. That hurts an egomaniac and he tends to just get mad and lash out. His fans may love it, but it does his favorability numbers with other voters no good. It may be a win win situation. Time will tell.

CRuz is professional debator. Trump is a novice. He goes with his gut... he runs the risk of saying something stupid.

As far as the art of the debate.. Cruz and Rubio are far an away better. BUT people, like my brother, think that the best debater should be president...That’s crap.

Another terrible debater in his later years was Reagan.

I agree with you, and it’s another reason why he should not debate. I personally had some concerns about the debate a few days before Iowa...and Fox tries to make him look bad... and they could with the questions they throw at him...

I was worried to the point I was thinking not watch..

Also, you’re winning. Why debate your opponents ON THEIR TURF if you’re winning? Makes no sense.

Let them debate themselves....

The General Election will come down to a few swing states — Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Colorado, maybe Nevada or New Hampshire.

If anybody can explain how Trump’s antics will help him carry those “purple” states, I’m all ears.
