The two Republican presidential debates on the Fox Business Network are scheduled for 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. EST tonight. They are being held at the Milwaukee Theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The 'kiddie table'at 7 p.m.: Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
The main event at 9 p.m.: Donald Trump of New York, Dr. Ben Carson of Florida, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina of California, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, and Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
FBN described the debates and moderators:
The first debate will be one hour in length and moderated by FBN anchors Trish Regan, Sandra Smith & WSJ's Washington Bureau Chief Gerald Seib.
The second debate will span two hours and be moderated by FBN anchors Maria Bartiromo, Neil Cavuto and WSJ Editor-in-Chief Gerard Baker.
The debates will focus on the most important business and economic issues facing the United States including job creation, social security and taxes.
Exactly.
Not just China. Any country can join TPP later. It’s supposed to be a living agreement that eventually includes all of Asia.
Rand Paul is just being dumb.
Not concerned. Just disappointed. We all want our guys to do well....
I believe those long, flowing blond locks Megan had, were extensions, fake and phony...and she had them removed...no way did she grow those long locks...
this cut is more like she use to have years ago when she started her night show ‘Kelly Files’
Many of the Fox chick have artificial extensions added...just like foot ball players...
I agree that Rubio is the better talker but isn’t that what we’ve had for the last eight years? He would be no better than Obama because he’s essentially working for the same people.
Im Trump all the way, Cruz in 2nd, and no one in 3rd. All else for amnesty.
While not a loser per se, poor DT did not have a great night IMHO. This is for several reasons. It is not that he made a major flub or any kind if ass out of himself so no major damage, but he did not help himself and got three good rounds of boos. It is that his broken record delivery (platitude-laced Trump Stump soeec) which is so predictable and always a rehashing, was pale in comparison to most of the others who outshined him. Again, no, or weak/non-compelling/poor OPERATIONAL specifics nor actionable plans that would work to solve various problems. Vague. Rude on a few occasion fir no good reason, and the crowd clearly picked it up. Very poor closing with nothing new. No passion such as with The Cruzinator, Rubio ir Fiorina level.
Trump runs the biggest vulnerable danger of his novelty wearing thin. Here precisely is where Cruz can ascend with passion, specifics, delivery and track record to point to. Civil manners and class, too. Not bombast. Carson quite boring but sincere. Jeb! really pathetic. In the JV tourney, Christie ran away with it with Huck a close second (not my favorites) but I try to call it as I see it.
You are incorrect.
Cruz’s complete remarks are as follows:
There should be no pathway to citizenship for those who are here illegally. I don’t support amnesty. And I find it really striking at the Cleveland debate, that divide was evident for all to see. Let me step back for a second. Let me talk about the amnesty issue. Because I actually think the amnesty issue is broader than just another policy issue on which people can disagree. President Obama famously said his goal was to fundamentally transform the United States of America. And one of the critical tools he is using to try to do that is to allow millions of people to come here illegally. There’s seven billion people on the face of the planet, and an awful lot of them would like to come here. Now if they want to come here legally and follow the law, great. You and I both come from immigrant families who followed the law.
But the Obama plan is to allow millions to come in illegally and try to grant them amnesty, grant them a pathway to citizenship, and they believe they’ll vote Democrat in perpetuity to keep the big-government Democrats in power. It is a transformational policy, if amnesty goes through. It changes who we are as a country, if Obama and the Democrats succeed in this. And what’s striking in Cleveland, is a majority of the candidates on that stage have advocated amnesty, and not just advocated amnesty, but advocated it for years. Many of them vocally, vigorously, publicly. As you mentioned, you heard my friend Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)
80%
join Chuck Schumer in authoring the Chuck Schumer amnesty plan. In doing so, he was enthusiastically supported by Jeb Bush. In doing so, he was enthusiastically supported by Scott Walker. And President Obama.
Both CNN and Politifact did fact-checks of my statement that a majority of candidates on that stage have supported amnesty, and both of them concluded, yep, it’s true. They went through the records of one after the other after the other. And let me tell you why that matters so much. We remember back in 2012, where we nominated a candidate, Mitt Romney, a good man. But someone who had proposed Romneycare. And the problem was, when it came to the general election, when you have a candidate who’s been an advocate for health insurance plan almost exactly like Obamacare, our nominee wasn’t able to make the election about Obamacare. He wasn’t able to challenge Barack Obama effectively on Obamacare, because he had written a proposal just like it.
The same thing is true in this instance. If we nominate a candidate who’s been a vigorous, vocal, and aggressive advocate of amnesty, then the Republican candidate won’t stand up and challenge Hillary Clinton on amnesty, and certainly won’t do so effectively. Because anyone who tries to do so, the response will be: Gosh, just a couple of years ago, before you were running for president, you agreed with me [that] we should grant amnesty.
I have never supported amnesty and never will support amnesty. I believe in the rule of law. You know, at the end of the day, these principles aren’t complicated. When it comes to immigration: Legal, good; illegal, bad.
That too.
I’m sure it’s just more hack jobs from left-wing press but GOPe will jump in too.
<<<< YOU SURE SEE THE CROWDS THAT TRUMP GETS...WHERE IS CARSON’S??? >>>
In his book line. :D
HORSEFEATHERS !
One would think! This means Carson is probably in trouble, Amntn.
<<<< YOU SURE SEE THE CROWDS THAT TRUMP GETS...WHERE IS CARSON’S??? >>>
This is the where all the lies fall apart. None of these other candidates can fill a room much less a stadium.
That wasn’t at all what he was saying. He was questioning Gasperino because they’ve had numerous discussions about TARP and bail outs and they often challenge one another. He wasn’t willing to let Charlie get away with a simplistic answer without considering deeper ramifications.
Cavuto was never for TARP. In fact, he was one of the few who never wavered in his opposition to bailouts.
Yeb? Ive seen worse candidates with little to offer (Howard Baker and Bush in 1980 — worthless!!) But he has some good political instincts.
Kasich is a fine executive and a good man...His policies are often cringe worthy, but he has some worthwhile experience (armed services committee.. etc.) He’s been pretty good for Ohio to boot.
So yeah...They could all have a place in the next administration.
We are pretty lucky this cycle.
Stirewald and the Slut are like peas and carrots.
Taxidermy fits with the Clintons. But for a couple of minutes here or there Vince Foster might have ended up in a secret trophy room at Chappaqua.
CNN has picked up on that stupid exchange already. We are going to have to be on our toes to straighten the drapes on it too.
Trump did NOT say China was a part of the damn TPP. He said they ALWAYS come in the “back door”. He believes the thing was “designed” that way, so they could.
Hang in there, sunny!
The 2016 Republican ticket?
