9. IDK. Trump is a terrible on stage against other people

He only crushed in 2016 because Bush, and Cruz didn't understand the audience and ignored Trump as the light weight he really is. The wasted time attacking each other and allowing Trump to basically skate through their confrontations. There's no way his GOP opponents will treat him the same way . . . right? Trump is easy to beat in a debate, see Biden's thorough destruction of him, and there's reason to believe most major GOP backers are going to also go in for the kill. Trump isn't the outsider anymore. He has a long track record of complete failure and his opponents speak the same MAGA language as him. Only they're smarter, younger, and out for blood. The primary will be ugly and FOX news won't have Trump's back.
