    Ramaswamy will pwn any debate stage. Trump is tactically wise not engaging one on one with him.

    Education is extremely important.

        Trump Plans to Skip G.O.P. Debate for Interview With Tucker Carlson

        https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/18/us/politics/trump-debate-tucker-carlson.html

        Former President Donald J. Trump plans to upstage the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday by sitting for an online interview with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, according to multiple people briefed on the matter.

        In the past 24 hours, Mr. Trump has told people close to him that he has made up his mind and will skip the debate in Milwaukee, according to two of the people briefed on the matter.

        Mr. Trump is notoriously mercurial, and left himself something of an out to change his mind with an ambiguous post on his website, Truth Social, on Thursday. He wrote that he’s polling well ahead of his rivals and added, “Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate?”

          I think it unwise on his part. People watching may decide they don't miss him after all and there are some very smart candidates.

          I certainly hope so.

                The fact that Vivek would pwn the debate stage, speaks more to the quality of the other candidates. A guy like Obama could have held his own, rhetorically.

                  Ooops - Debate training document for Gov. DeSantis found on line

                  QUOTE
                  The debate "memorandum" sets out four "overarching goals" for DeSantis to achieve when he first takes on his GOP rivals.

                  These are to
                  attack Joe Biden and the media 3-5 times,
                  state his "positive vision 2-3 times,
                  hammer Vivek Ramaswamy in a response" and
                  defend Donald Trump in absentia in response to a Chris Christie attack."
                  UNQUOTE

                  I dont understand how defending President Trump is something that would help a debate candidate. Someone help me with this.

                    Nothing surprising there. They spend a lot of time prepping for debates and strategizing.

                    Except Joe. He gets to use TOTUS. It’s rather like a handicapped parking pass on your car.
