That's brilliant.
Especially the part about how Trump earns himself attention by twitter responding real-time with wise cracks and eye-brow raising retorts to the answers of the other candidates on stage.
Also brilliant how making an enemy of FoxNews draws the attention of those on the left that have a seething hatred of FoxNews, possibly even peeling (in time) a few of them off of the eventual zany democrat candidate.
"If FOX doesn’t budge, and Trump skips the debate, he will tweet the entire mess like it is
Mystery Science Theater 3000.
The next day, the news will interject his tweets with their commentary about each participant. Obviously Trump’s tweets would include his usual eyebrow-raising insults and claims, and draw all attention his way. And unlike the people in the debate, he can “twitter-interrupt” them at any point with his counter-punches and clever insults. The media will insert his tweets in just the right place to make their stories compelling."
and
"Now let’s say you are Donald Trump, the scariest Republican that any Democrat has seen in ages. What is the one best thing he can do to separate himself from the Republican machine and show that he can be a deal-maker for everyone? Answer: Punch FOX News in the mouth. Right in front of you.
Democrats are watching. Trump is framing himself as an
enemy of their enemy. (Democrats hate FOX News.)
Trump’s setup here is pure genius. He doesn’t know how it will end, but he is making sure he goes where the odds are deeply in his favor."
