I wasn't referring to anyone specific but even she'd make him look silly. Trump isn't a politician. He hasn't spent his whole life in front of national media, debating things like health care and education like most seasoned political figures. The moment he couldn't just throw a talking point out there that someone wrote up for him, and he was made to fend for himself against someone who has made a career out of it, he'd fall apart like a poorly glued together childrens toy.

Anyone can pander to racists,bigots, war hawks etc. Build a wall, send them back, blow shit up, kick ass and take names, make "merica" good again... it's all so easy right now. But again, having to see him talk in depth, on his own, about getting poor people health coverage and health care... that takes skill and he doesn't have that. The guy is playing to a loud minority. To win, you have to play to the majority.. the middle... 

he isnt a warhawk, Hillary Clinton is. He made himself a billionair while Hillary lives from tax payers, he has more credibility 

I don't support Clinton but two points on Trump I'd like to adress. First, he didn't make himself anything. His father did, and he was lucky enough to have been his son. Second, I'm not so sure "billionaire" is what this country needs right now. When you have people living on the street, starving to death and unable to get health care to cure the pneumonia that set in, thanks to not having said place to live, I think worrying about making more money is the least of our problems. When you have kids with high IQs who would otherwise become great members of society if not born into famlies where neither parent gives a shit... again, making boat loads of capital is the probably the least of our worries.

Having said all of this, Trump, again, isn't a politician. Less than a decade ago, the guy was a reality TV personality for crying out loud. He's an entertainer, not someone with the tact or experience to run the free world and solve serious issues. He knows he'd look silly in a national debate. He knows he can't win over rational, middle thinking swing voters. He knows he's not winning the nomination. This is about making money before bowing out.. nothing more.
