Re: Comparing debate styles –
Robinson’s essay was written nearly 3.5 months ago which is an eternity in a primary season. I think he should totally rethink his arguments in light of Trump’s continued gaffes and Clinton’s beautiful gutting of his incompetence this week in California. If by some surprising turn of events, Sanders wins the nomination, he too will bodyslam Trump in the debates. The Democrats are blessed with far superior candidates in this election.
