You had a couple of “needs” in your post and I don’t not agree. But with the way he has been hamstrung since 2015 forward and only able to fight back, even with his own party, is when he had the final say and ability to direct the action.
On a level playing field, he would pick them apart. But it won’t be a level playing field and even the left can learn what to do when he starts to take control just like has been done in the past to cut him off. They will interrupt his answers, cut him short, and MIS Summarize his answers putting words in his mouth and cutting his mike. I’m even willing to bet they would try the same thing they did to Bush in his debates with Gore when they had Gore’s body appear bigger on screen than Bush’s body mass. They will stop at nothing.
You have the right idea, but I am not as trusting in that the debate won’t be turned into a hit piece. And at this point, the libs don’t even have an idea who they actually want to run. They just want to scuttle Trump any way they can. And screwing him in front of a national audience is exactly what they would love to do.

{;^) - Please think of those "needs" simply as mechanical requirements of a successful campaign.

Quite right, I think a "hit piece" is exactly what the left will attempt and IMO be exactly what Trump would wish to use to his benefit. (At least if after the screwing they allow him even just a final one-sentence conclusion - one can easily imagine what it would be.)
Primarily, such an overt attempt to screw Trump in front of the entire nation will provide a dramatic opportunity for him to further demonstrate his capability to effectively face off with powerful opponents.
Perhaps more importantly, the debate no matter how rude and unbalanced could well provide an excellent opportunity to underscore for undecided voters the immediate domestic and international threats our nation faces.
Have a nice Sunday!
