For the first time in the 2016 election cycle, the same team of debate moderators will get a second shot to question the Republican presidential candidates.
Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo will once again take the stage, this time without Wall Street Journal editor-in-chief Gerard Baker, to question a smaller group of candidates just a couple weeks before the first primary states begin casting their ballots. While their first go-around was considered a successful first presidential debate for the business network, the moderators took a safer approach to questioning after a raucous and chaotic CNBC debate. In this second go-around, the seasoned moderators said in separate interviews that they plan to be more aggressive by not only broadening the topics to issues such as gun control and immigration, but also plan to work harder to get the candidates off their talking points and actually answering their questions.
"Last time we let it breathe in terms of making sure the candidates talked to each other and had an open dialogue," said Bartiromo, adding that their goal was to make sure they heard each candidate's plan.
This time around though, Bartiromo said she and Cavuto will be better prepared with a stricter list of "must ask" questions.

I’m guessing “sticker list” is code for GOP establishment questions to demean Cruz and Trump and make Jebito look like a real American.
Sigh...
Are they taking questions from we the people. If so please give contact information
What I'm afraid of is them badgering him, not allowing him to complete a sentence.
Hopefully Cavuto's crew is better than that.
Oh goodie. She gonna ask Trump about Megyn?
Whatever.
I doubt it. Their get their marching orders from Network.
“...will be better prepared with a stricter list of “must ask” questions”
So EVERY question will be about Trump rather than every other.
Yeah, just because your first debate was good, don’t stick with that.

“I’m guessing “sticker list†is code for GOP establishment questions to demean Cruz and Trump and make Jebito look like a real MEXICAN “
Fixed it : )
Are they planning on forcing Trump to walk offstage if they don’t like what he says? After all, that was Bret Baier’s brilliant idea.
Cavuto is the king of interupting people. He is unwatchable on his show.
From my perspective, opinions have already been formed and the complete losers (Jebito, Christie, Kasich) have been identified. Let’s get with the primaries and be done with this nonsense. I won’t be watching it.
How can I watch it online/radio?
Damage to Establishment has already been done. See my post 13
“I doubt it. Their get their marching orders from Network.”
Yeah......Paddy Cheyefsky’s “ Network “
Meet the new Network (Murdoch)
Same as the old “Network” : )
I agree.
My wife was an AVID! viewer of Fox News Network. NIGHTLY for hours upon hours. That tart Megynnnnnnn changed that. She hasn’t even turned the TV on since then. She instead found a link that puts Trump’s events on live (as is possible) and watches that on her iPhone. I’m not a Trump fan as first choice (Cruz is) but I don’t discourage her in her preferences.
We shall see what will be soon. The chips will fall where they may. But I expect Republican Establishment will be shitting their britches in any event.
They are idiots.
They don’t even know what getting aggressive means.
Snarky shallow sniping and intellectual dishonesty is what they think aggression is.
They don’t do their job because they do not know what their job is or understand their job.
They are know nothing above-average IQ mediocrities
Reminds me of an old sonh
