Yes . If I were Trump I wouldn't go to that debate. let those loser politicians and others that want to just enrich themselves and advance their political career cry to each other at that stupid debate

strategically Trump doesn't need to be there. it's a set up.

Trump needs to heed Sun Tzu’s “Art of War” and its principles. For indeed, he fights a war. He can be victorious only if he knows himself as he knows the enemy.

I am waiting for the Hugh Hewitt gotcha question to Trump about Dirkastan’s foreign minister’s favorite breakfast cereal.

Since Hewitt signaled that is what he will do, they have all been forewarned and it will be interesting to see how they handle him. I'm guessing Cruz will be prepared to make Hewitt look the fool he is acting like and Trump will manage to add some fun to the mix. It should backfire on Hewitt and make the two he really dislikes shine brighter than the rest.

GO CRUZ!!! Keep it up Trump!!

Good points.

But, in this debate, there will be some professional agitators poking and prodding him- trying to get him to explode.

Even if he does, it may still help him. He's allowed to walk back statements with no accusations of flip-flopping that stick. He's also assumed to be speaking hyperbolically as needed. He is benefitting from 30+ years in the public eye, where he has crafted a mercurial persona (he is, after all a Gemini) that he can now draw upon.
