Trump wins, hands down doesn’t matter how he does in the debate, just the sheer fact that almost all the candidates have adopted some form of “making America Better” as a theme is his win.

Exactly, all the others have co opted Trumps platform.

But, everyone knows the GOPe will say anything to get elected, then execute the exact opposite.
With Trump, you have to rely on him to execute

....”doesn’t matter how Trump does in the debate”....

Oh yes it does .

I am a big Trump supporter, but I was disappointed with his performance. He needs to do his homework and be ready to answer anticipated questions with a solid reply. His failure to answer the "how can you deport 11 million people" well is a missed opportunity. Enforcing the laws (he got that right) and mandatory e-verify to shut off the job magnet. Attrition thru enforcement. The sad part is that it is all in his immigration position paper.

That said, the Time and Drudge polls have Trump winning handily. If Trump continues to hold his big lead in the polls next week, the rest of the field is in big trouble. Despite being the main target and a mediocre performance the Trump juggernaut rolls on.
