This is where Trump is at his best. He& #39;s killing it at tonight& #39;s debate, railroading Wallace and Biden. Whoever prepped Biden should be fired.
Trump is the master of chaos every college debater hoped desperately never to encounter. You can& #39;t debate plans and policy. It doesn& #39;t work. You have to prep to frustrate, undermine confidence, to get under their skin.
I& #39;m not endorsing Trump, by the way. This is an observation of his performance at this debate tonight. What are the goals of a modern presidential debate? Exert power, energize the base, get air time, dominate tomorrow& #39;s headlines. Not dissemination of policy.
I was a nationally ranked debated in college (and competed for 4 years in high school). There was a guy who debated like Trump we all dreaded. The only way to win was to make him feel uncomfortable, make him lose his confidence. In doing so, I& #39;d make myself look bad. I hated it.
