As anyone who reads this blog knows, I think Trump would make a wretched President. Hard as it is to imagine, however, I think Carson would be even worse. As a result, here is some unsolicited advice for The Donald as to how to deal with Big Ben at the next debate:
1. Don’t attack him personally. It doesn’t work with this audience.
2. Don’t comment on his lack of energy, because it is obvious to everyone. Given the vast difference in the two personalities, the best analogy that I can come up with is watching John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg play tennis.
3. Don’t say anything about his religion, because that is a fight you are going to lose.
4. Do point out how incoherent his positions are on entitlement programs and taxes.
5. Do make it clear that your qualifications for the office, while negligible, are better than his, which are non-existent.
6. Do continue to tap into the anger of your constituents. It is the fuel that runs your campaign.
