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.

Well, explain to me how he "counter-punched" his way from NOWHERE into the position of poll-leading candidate in a matter of weeks.
I ripped it off from the sidebar at PJ Media, who got it from a twitter-er.
My understanding is that this will not be a true debate, but rather statements by each candidate. I hope they will be able to make more than one statement so we can see how they rebut other statements. Here is a link regarding flubs by debaters recently in New Hampshire with videos of five candidates:

Here is a link for the times for both the major debate and the runner up debate. So far as I can tell they are on Fox and the major starts at 9 pm (ET? Is that Daylight or Standard?) and the minor from 5 to 6 pm. ET:

Doesn’t matter. Trump’s the guy in the news.
Soon people will bore of Trumpistics...
After a few more truth tellings..
people will just say THATS Trump.. like they did with Perot..
Remember Perot’s “listen hear the giant sucking sound from Mexico” well it came true.. except the sound came from China and pretty much everywhere ELSE including Mexico...
People didnt care and still DON’T.. they might now.. I say MIGHT...
News won’t really matter for a few more months..
Wasting money now is a mistake.. unless you have it to waste..
Trump is going Rino and donkey hunting and he is a dead aim. It will be a turkey shoot and Trump has the only working gun.
If Cruz wants to break out and get more support he needs to hammer the GOPe establishment hard. It is open season on career politicians and Cruz needs to sell quickly which side he is on. If he speaks with bold truthfulness exposing the Washingtonites like he did about McTurtle on the floor last week, people will take notice and his support will grow.
The rest of them are Rinos and losers and none of them has got anything worth saying I want to hear.
Trump hasnt locked horns with the lawyer from texas yet..You mean the sleepy-eyed one with drooping shoulders that likes to hear himself talk.
I watched the video of him talking to an empty chamber and a bored "Madam President" when he accused McConnell of lying to him and 54 members. He made gestures as if he was referring to other members there, when no one else was there.
What he was really doing was publicly making excuses for his stupid votes on the trade bill and the Cornyn bill...Unfortunately some of you were fooled by it as something different.
I'm pretty sure he wrote in his book how the Senate and leadership works. But suddenly he's shocked he was lied to? It's all fake.
Ted Cruz will not be the nominee.
“I cant think of Dershowitz any more without picturing him getting into a sixteen year olds pants. Her memories were pretty descriptive. If he cheated on his wife with an adult, Id be able to listen to the content of what he says.”
And I can’t think of dershowitz without thinking about how this great legal mind compared the nsa having all our phone records to a postman seeing the adresses of letters we mail. Rightl Ten letters (calls) adressed to a local oncologist. Wonder (don’t need to, it’s obvious) what those calls are about.
I’m pretty sure he wrote in his book how the Senate and leadership works. But suddenly he’s shocked he was lied to? It’s all fake.
He was being nice Louie.... too fool the democrats...
The democrats require republicans to be nice..
While Mitch was in the closet getting his grits packed..
Jealous?
They are friends.
The guy who was arrested for pedophilia, the Clinton buddy Epstein, with his Perv Island, etc, had one of his girls, 16 and 17 years old, have sex with him several times. She has come out about it. She was pimped to Prince what’s his name, Charles’s brother, and there are photos of him with his arm around her. She was naming names and she said she was introduced to Alan and they spent intimate time together on airplanes and in homes all over the country. Dershowitz says she is lying but she remembers exactly where and when...
I was actually shocked to hear he was doing such things.
If Cruz wants to break out and get more support he needs to hammer the GOPe establishment hard.
I agree with that.. Cruz needs to up his game..
being mealy mouthed is not the way to go... Jeb got that covered..
Pointed direct assaults on republican upper management is the way to go..
Makes you “ seem “ democrat even if you’re not.. to democrats.. and RINOs..
A few RINO votes can never hurt.. who knows maybe a few democrats..
Would get me clapping my hands for sure.. saying Bravo..
Even democrats love when republicans are assaulted..
And to be honest they need it badly...
I say strip them naked and laugh at their weenies..
especially the Rino girls from Maine.. who have a hard on for Obama.. so it’s artificial.. even funnier..
The girl who was underage at the time has confessed Dershowitz wa switch her several times over a period of a couple years. Epstein’s little kidnapped runaway. I’m not sure Dershowitz was ever on Perv Island. I think his statutory rape took places on Epstein’s plane and some private homes.
They are friends.
He’ll have to live that down after the election...
Poor... Sarah Palin still carries the stink of John McLaim on her.. a bit..
And I’m a Sarah guy..
The “accuser” did not come off as a nutcase at all. She was an all but abandoned teen at home, and worked at some spa or other where Epstein grabbed her up, since she didn’t have parents caring much about her. She was 15.
He is in jail for the second time for pedophilia and underage porn etc. his homes and Perv Island, where he always let underaged girls around, were filled with cameras so that he could “have something” on the rich and famous he brought over.
She isn’t so much of an accuser as a Victim. it’s not ok to kidnap teen girls and push them into having sex with men. Sheesh. She came off as very credible to me. Poor girl. (She’s much older now, but still. That is not ok.)
But Cruz wont take on Trump, and that is the smart thing to do right now.
**************************
Cruz is (I think) the ONLY candidate who has not said anything denigrating the other GOP candidates. (ref. Reagan rule) ...Cruz sticks to his message and criticism from the others just rolls off of his back like water on a duck. I don’t believe he’s forgetting the attacks from others; just waiting for the proper time to respond.
Trump has socked others only after they have bashed him or his supporters.
What if Trump asks Cruz why Cruz wants to steal the best jobs from Americans and give them away to foreigners with H1B visas.
...”why Cruz wants to give H1B visa’s to the best and brightest coming here”....
For the same reason Trump , Rubio, and heck even Ann Coutler wants the best coming here over that of the low income people....or would you prefer the low level employees?...were not talking H1Bs for ‘IT’ Workers as you’ve referenced in the past.
It would be an increase in the number high-skilled jobs to people who earn advanced degrees in science, technology or math at U.S. universities....If you look at the past... increases to the H1B visa had often been offset with ***’decreases’ in the number of other types of visas issued****such as the co-called Green Card so I’ll take that kind of trade off over more of the lower end visas.
Also we do live in a in a globalized workforce and if we don’t bring them here we’ll loose them to other countries...I want the best and those at the top of their game right here... thank you..that’s good for our country.
Cruz needs to tie GOPe and Democrats together ... as corrupt as hell... both beholding to the same masters. It is all about money and the people already get that, they just want someone to take on the career politicians with boldness. Damm the torpedoes, the truth must be told...we want our govt back ...kind of boldness.
It won’t matter a hill of beans how good anyone’s conservative credentials are if they are only going to go half measures.
