“Having Donald Trump on the Republican debate stage come August, which is when the first presidential debate is scheduled, would be a total nightmare for the Republican party,” according to The Fix.

“Here’s why: Donald Trump will say almost anything to get a rise out of people.  He is in the entertainment business, a professional provocateur of some renown.  The business he is not in, of course, is politics.”

“Trump has the potential to blow up those well-laid plans. He will interrupt, bully and seek to dominate the  debate in ways that will make it impossible to get a word in edge-wise. And, if past is prologue, the sorts of things he does say when he gains control of the debate floor will be stuff that appeals heavily to the Republican base and turns off, well, almost everyone else.”
