Trump looks out on the horizon, looks at what he does for a living, and sees what is going on right now globally as a threat to his business. The threat is from his own government. The USG is the origin of the threat world-wide.
Guy probably looked at all the options and decided even if he didn’t win, what he knows about communications may be enough to at least change the debate and slow the decline.
Turns out he likely underestimated how pissed off everybody was. Luck meets preparation and guts.
That is likely what happened. Now it is probably his to lose.

"Someone post a comment at the site suggested Mark Stein.I would pay to see that."Lets put out wish list. It Team Trump, Cruz, Carson etc are not lurking here they are smoking crack.
My guess is they are, so lets give them a list, feel free to add to it.
Dr Thomas Sowell, Dr. Walter Williams, David Horowitz, Dennis Prager ( great guy for cultural questions ), P.J. O'Rourke, Mark Stein, Jeff Kuhner, Howie Carr, a must is Mark Levin, Larry Kuldow ( maybe ) and Ben Stein. Yes Laura Ingraham, so please add more!

Open the debate with a statement from Trump to the RNC, “You’re Fired!”

Mark Levin could handle the entire thing himself.

The gathering is being organized by advisers to the campaigns of Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Bobby Jindal and Lindsey Graham, according to multiple sources involved in the planning. Others who are expected to attend, organizers say, are representatives for Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Rick Santorum. I wonder why Cruz isn't mentioned in this initial set of candidates?
To: Amntn
This will be helpful, but it does not address the far more egregious practice of allowing the Democrats to set the table and name the terms of the so-called "debates" for the general election.
The "Republicans" on the Presidential Debate Commission are a bunch of spineless eunuchs, and like the RNC, they also need to go. Our position, in the interest of restoring something at least remotely resembling an honest debate should simply be these two conditions:
- The candidates themselves write the questions they want to ask their opponent. And the candidates themselves ask their opponent their questions.
- The "moderator" is nothing more than a director in the control room whose sole function is to cut the microphone of the debater who doesn't currently have the floor, and to cut the microphone of that debater when his time is expired.
He is not to be seen, not to be heard, and not to inject himself into the debate in any way, shape, manner, or form.
Two simple rules. That's all that's required.
It's long past time to continue to allow the national agenda to be set along the lines of what "progressives" want to talk about, while our issues are not even raised, let alone explored. It's long past time that lib/prog candidates get softballs and "why are you better than him" questions while we're subjected to an endless barrage of "have-you-stopped-beating-your-wife?"
And, it's long past time that people who do nothing but read news from a teleprompter are FORCIBLY stopped from injecting themselves into the process. They have no place in the the debates and don't belong there. Their presence as "moderators" lends them an aura of "neutrality" that extends far beyond the debate forum among the LIV's, giving them the impression that these progtards are "referees" while they're spewing their constant bias at 6 PM every night.
They aren't. It's time to stop pretending they are.

"Even if they were willing, for mercy sakes, DONâT include the Blaze Glenn et al have been hideous to Trump!!!!!"I don't disagree, but I was thinking in terms of the number of viewers ( 250,00+ ? ) that will watch it. Some of Beck's BFF's will be on the dias, so letting him simulcast cast it I am ok with. Hosting it and or running it from his TX facility? I am not sure, holding this in an arena/auditorium that can hold a good number of people works for me. Broadmoor Hockey Rink works for me (stunning facility IMHO). Look up who owns the "Broadmoor Hotel" same family. YUGE Conservatives....

Greta and her husband are FOBs going way back [for those who've forgotten: Friends Of Bill.] National Review did a story about it when she was still at CNN. However, unlike most Democrats, I find Greta to be quite fair and to take the requirement of impartiality seriously, and I would trust her as a moderator. But a better approach would be to get rid of mods altogether.

IF he gets the nod, and we are still a long way off, he will pick a black guy, a woman, or a Latino. He isn't going to pick Sessions.

I don’t think he will pick someone for political reasons. I think he will pick someone that will help with the job.
