If The Answers Frighten You, David, Then you should cease asking scary questions

Now try to imagine Mr. Brooks lasting five minute on stage with Donald Trump. Or with me. Or with you.

We know that the reason real Liberals are not allowed on teevee is because we would answer actually answer this question.

driftglass: Why is the GOP establishment just sitting there, doing nothing? Because they have gotten so dependent on winning elections by manipulating the basic bigot/paranoid/rage-drunk "Blame Liberals For Everything" operating system they created decades ago to, that they never anticipated that an even more agile and ruthless predator might hack their proprietary software and turn it against them. Because neither the GOP establishment nor anyone at this table is going to risk ruining their careers by admitting that Liberals have been right about the Right all along.

The only reason Trump would win any exchange is because he would drown any opponent under a series of nonsense that the GOP base would take for serious arguments.

That Brooks loses to Trump is a sign of the dysfunction of the GOP, not necessarily a sign of Brooks' weakness. For the rest, I would agree with driftglass that Brooks is a poor debater, but please, no need to include Trump in the discussion.
