Trumped up: Greatest GOP debate God ever created will be huge!

America! Are you ready?

On Aug. 6, 2015, at 9 p.m. Eastern Time, airing live on Fox News from the Quicken Loans Arena in downtown Cleveland, the most colossal audience in cable news history will view the first Republican debate of 2015, the political event of a lifetime.

If you’re Donald Trump.

The current face of the Republican Party will command center stage – owing to his status as leader of all national polls – for what some observers believe will be the high-water mark of his quixotic candidacy, or what others say may be the first milestone on the road to his coronation as party leader.

A bestselling author and chief executive of a New York marketing and management firm doubts the debate will live up to the hype – the format is too constrictive for Trump to be Trump. His company counsels clients on the sort of things that Trump is great at, like branding, online presence, business strategy and public relations.

“Everybody gets, what, two minutes?” said Mark Stevens of MSCO, alluding to the short response time each candidate will have. “I don’t think he’ll blow everybody away like some people are expecting.”
