No one in the GOP who attacks Trump comes out the winner which is why you may see them all demur from attacking him tonight even if the conventional rules of the primary say that's what they should do.
Trump has totally shocked conventions so whether this holds tonight remains to be seen. From my point of view I hope it will-as this would make it an exciting night. Trump claims that he will not attack anyone unless they go after him first.
This would actually follow conventional wisdom on debates. If he really is as good as his word then to make this an interesting debate we'll need his opponents to follow conventional wisdom for those trailing which says they have to attack the frontrunner.
Will they have the guts to do that though? If they don't it will be a very boring night. However, if they do it will be a great night.
Trump will say more things like he said about Scott Walker-who's campaign did instigate it y calling Trump 'Dumb-Dumb.'
"On Saturday Trump went for the hat trick, gleefully insulting Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker because one of Walker’s fundraisers called the billionaire real estate mogul “Dumb-Dumb.”
“ Finally, I can attack!” Trump said at a packed rally at Oskaloosa High School. “Wisconsin’s doing terribly. It’s in turmoil. The roads are a disaster because they don’t have any money to rebuild them. They’re borrowing money like crazy. They projected a $1 billion surplus, and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion. The schools are a disaster. The hospitals and education was a disaster. And he was totally in favor of Common Core!”

You know who else has had to borrow a lot? Scott Walker himself:

You know who else has had to borrow a lot? Scott Walker himself:
"Gov. Scott Walker has two credit-card debts of more than $10,000 apiece on separate cards and is paying an eye-popping 27.24 percent interest rate on one of them, new federal financial documents disclosed on Monday show."
"The Republican presidential candidate has cast himself as both a fiscal conservative leader and a penny-pinching everyman on the campaign trail, often touting his love of Kohl's, the discount department store. His newly published financial disclosure shows that, like many Americans, Walker has few assets, some major debts (including more than $100,000 for student loans for his children), and a punishing interest rate on his credit-card obligations."
"Walker incurred one credit-card debt with Barclays in 2014, according to the financial disclosure form, and owed between $10,000 and $15,000 at a 27.24 percent interest rate as of July 2015. Most financial advisers recommend shedding credit-card debt as quickly as possible, especially when paying interest rates that high."
"Walker, who has spent his adult life in elected office, is among the poorer Republican candidates for president. Donald Trump is worth billions. Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, and Ben Carson are all multimillionaires. All told, Walker listed only six investments worth between $1,000 and $15,000, a whole life insurance plan worth between $15,000 and $50,000, and a deferred compensation plan from Milwaukee County worth between $15,000 and $50,000."

He's also a career politician! Usually the GOP hates career politicians. Trump on the other hand has never been in politics. He's a career non-politician.

It gets better with Walker. He also-despite denials-was target of a probe in 2011. Just like Chris Christie.
"Gov. Scott Walker was under criminal investigation in 2011 for misconduct in office — even as he insisted he wasn't — over a proposed real estate deal when he was Milwaukee County executive, according to records filed Wednesday in federal court."
"The Republican governor — who is running for president — was never charged with a crime, and the investigation was closed two years ago."
"Wednesday's filing shows the governor was at the center of the probe, contradicting Walker's repeated claims at the time that he was not a target."
"Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf declined to comment when asked whether Walker or his lawyers were informed that Walker was under investigation."
"I submit that there is probable cause to believe that Scott Walker, John Hiller and Andrew Jensen, in concert together, committed a felony, i.e., Misconduct in Public Office..." investigator Robert Stelter wrote in his 2011 request for a search warrant.
"It was after getting the search warrant and the resulting evidence that prosecutors decided not to issue charges."
"The wide-ranging inquiry resulted in charges and convictions of six Walker aides and associates for matters that included campaigning using taxpayer resources and stealing from a veterans fund. Prosecutors did not ultimately charge anyone over the real estate deal, and they shut down the probe in March 2013."

Well if Tom Brady gets 4 games for not turning over his cellphone what does Walker get for lying to the people of Wisconsin?
Yet you hear all this talk about Hillary's emails.
