Alan Dershowitz: 'Trump Is Going to Win Any Confrontation'
NewsMax.com ^ | 08/04/2015 | Greg Richter

Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz said the the nine GOP presidential candidates who will take the debate stage Thursday with frontrunner Donald Trump will be wise not to take him on.

"Donald Trump is going to win any confrontation," Dershowitz said Tuesday on "CNN Tonight."

"He's a populist," Dershowitz said of Trump. "He doesn't have to worry about what he says."

Republican voters love the billionaire real estate developer because he doesn't have speechwriters, and anyone who takes him on is going to lose, Dershowitz said.

"Trump hasnt locked horns with the lawyer from texas yet.. Be wise if he steered away from that confrontation.. Super-Cruz.. would roll over him like a speed bump.."

Dershowitz was Cruz's law school professor and is well aware of Cruz's formidable debate skills, having praised them highly in the past.

The accuser is a nutcase. She also accused Prince Andrew. Dershowitz filed suit and the judge struck his name off the list of accused.

That situation has come up before; a nominee worth his salt will know how to deal with it.

Trump will be offered something he would like, with a promise of support for a future Presidential run. It can be done. I believe it has been done in the past, many times.

That's how Bush Sr. got to be Veep.

A full year before anything ‘important’? The Primaries start in 7 months and there’s a major debate about every month.

I agree with those who say Trump and Cruz won’t confront each other.

At this point, I think Cruz is happy to have Trump, and Carly and Jindal all attacking the Establishment- whatever draws the line between the GOP-e and the regular folks.

If Cruz has to confront trump in the future— no contest.

See Tom Cruise in “A Few Good Man”.. -:)

Alan Dershowitz is like many other folks. He's yet to grasp Trump is just stating the truth. Yes he's using his own style, but what you see is pretty much the real thing with Trump. It's his personality. It can be somewhat abrasives but the man is used to getting big things done. Hard to do that with a tinkerbell demeanor.

Dershowitz can't grasp the concept of truth. Trump says what he feels. He don't ask permission. How do you attack or debate against that? Unfortunately for the other guys they can't say the real truth about every issue. What about those lobbyist$ ?

Fine line for them.

As others have pointed out, those two aren’t going to clash.

Cruz is going to be the best technical debater onstage, Trump the most persuasive debater.

As with the contest so far, the debate isn’t going to be won on technical points.

Trump is a counter puncher. I don't expect Cruz to throw any punches his way. Cruz will take on the GOPe and the Democrats. The losers will take their shots at Trump and... lose.

“Rubio is a deceiver”

Rubio lost me when he yammered on about our long history of racism and the loss of economic opportunities for minorities.

I wonder if he ever noticed that we have a black man in the White House.

I hope people will be over confident and underestimate Trump. Trump will clean everyone’s clock. As long as they do not take him seriously, Trump will have all the time to eat everyone’s lunch.

>>>Trump will be offered something he would like, with a promise of support for a future Presidential run. It can be done. I believe it has been done in the past, many times<<<

Trump is 69 Years Old. What “deal” could they give him?

He is Richer than Rich, has a Beautiful Young Wife and a large Family. If he pulled off being elected POTUS, he would lose much more than he would win. The exact opposite of Obama the Community Rabble Rouser.

Gee Donald, when you’re 100 we’ll give you a shot. LOL

Gee Donald, we’ll let you rent out The Capitol Building on the weekends. LOL

Gee Donald, we’ll let you build a Golf Course on the Mall. LOL

Deal maker Preibus would Pee his Pants if Trump yelled Boo.

I swear, the Trump FR Conspiracy Theories are rivaling DU.

Yes, which is why he doesn't bother to prepare for the debates.

BTW, in the debates, watch for Mister Trump to use Mister Perot's refrain to any and all difficult questions...

"It's simple" followed by some specious generalities.

Also watch for Mister Trump to attack the GOP frontrunners, so as to damage the primary leaders as much as possible.
