The Trump Card

Donald Trump will be on unfamiliar ground in the debate. Trump is not a politician polished by years of experience in earlier debates. Unlike some of his rivals, Trump is not an attorney who has performed before juries and judges. Trump has been on reality TV, but that is not real, but slickly produced, with moments where Trump may look bad left on the proverbial cutting room floor. Trump will seem like a fish driving a semi compared to Ted Cruz who is a champion debater and who has argued cases all the way up to the Supreme Court. There is also likely to be pile-on with almost all the other candidates aiming their barbs at Trump because he leads the rest of the field in early polls. I do not know how Trump will stand up to the pressure. It is also not relevant to me because I will never vote for Trump in the primaries.
