Do you think Donald Trump can brag his way to become Commander in Chief? [View all]

I'm going to call his demise the Sarah Palin effect. If he does win the primaries, how will he fair in a one on one debate , a town hall meeting, serious questions about foreign and domestic policy. Healthcare,the military, education, infrastructure, employment and unemployment, etc. Could you imagine him doing a state of the union address?
