The Republican Debate: What to Look For
via The New York Times
“Donald J. Trump has won three nominating contests in a row, and Thursday night’s face-off in Houston is the last best chance for his rivals to slow him down before Super Tuesday next week, when 12 states will vote. We asked New York Times political reporters what they would be looking for in the Republican debate.
Mr. Trump is clearly sensitive about the charge from his rivals that he cannot win support from a majority of Republican voters. I’m curious whether he will do anything in the debate to appear like a leader who can unify the party and appeal more broadly to the different Republican factions. Is he capable of elevating his debate performance and appearing more presidential, or will be continue to act like the toughest guy on the stage?”
