The first GOP presidential debate is about two weeks away,
candidates are preparing responses for tough questions about their policy
proposals as well as attacks from other candidates up on stage with them. Over the past month, Donald Trump has
practically provided certain candidates with advice on what they need to do to
win the debate. Donald Trump has shown
the intellect, competency, and overall potential to serve as president of
several fellow GOP candidates. The only
other candidate that has been on the same intellect level has been Ted Cruz
Now Establishment Republicans are requesting that Trump tone it down a few
notches or exit the race. Their most recent attempt to get Trump to drop out
may have gone too far, however. According to a report by The New York Times,
large donors and officials at the Republican Governors Association have
proposed for leading candidates such as Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, and Marco Rubio
to boycott any debates that Trump is permitted to attend.
Per the report, "the thinking, according to a
Republican involved in the conversations, was that the lesser-funded prospects
who have been eclipsed by Mr. Trump would follow suit, and the TV networks
airing the debates would be forced to bar Mr. Trump in order to have a full
complement of candidates."
Many believe that having Trump will actually force
candidates to be on their toes with regard to policy, as Trump's willingness to
say nearly whatever he wants whenever he wants would lead to a more polarized
debate between the candidates. This
debate may also cause Trump to expose some of the candidate for who they really
are, Democrats in Republican clothing.
