guy benson co-author of "end of discussion." guy, donald trump, what does he need to do?ld trump is in first place so he just needs to maintain. right? he doesn't have to do all that much in this debate. if he deflects to the fighting of other candidates, that benefits him the most. the fans generally appreciate and satisfied by everything he says and does and if he has a status quo debate, success for him. >> can anything hurt him? >> i'm not convinced anything can. right? he's sort of acknowledged this. he said jokingly i could shoot someone in the middle of manhattan and not lose me a vote and he's sort of right about that so i suppose there's something that he could do, really stumble in a bad way but if he turns in a typical performance for him, i think he's definitely in the driver's seat. >> ted cruz, what does he need to do? engaging in the back and forth with donald trump. donald trump we just went through it. the tweets he sent out today, it seems to just be a constant back an forth between cruz and trump. >> yeah. cruz has a more complicated task than trump doe
