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.
Watching FBN live stream. So far, so good. At commercial break right now.
“I like Jindals wanting EVERYONE to have skin in the game.”
Yeah, I also like that, think it would change the way some on the dole think about government.
ice cubes?
Meh...on the red head.
My catty comment of the evening? Why or why do the cosmetic mavens of FOX insist on the 1960s paint brush fake eye lashes. Reading must be like tunnel vision...

Every presidential election cycle, we have a few who bring up flat-tax plans. I doubt those will ever happen because too many have too much invested in the massive tax code the way it is.
Remember 9-9-9?
Me too - just 2% but enough
Bluto: Okay, Shorty, the Oyls are gonna be double taxed! Triple taxed! Quadruple taxed! Surtaxed! Exercise taxed! Overtaxed! AND THUMB TAXED!
Norma Shearer ?
I’m 83 and she was before my movie going time.

Thanx, Gran....but the FR bros think she’s hot...so she gets a pass.
I liked that too. Actually, several of them have said good things and made good observations. Even Huckabee has been right on target on some things. The only one who is dismal, IMHO, is Santorum. He was dismal four years ago and he’s holding his own.
But both Jindal and Christie have good and reasoned ideas, whether I agree with them or not.
A bit but I just figured it was my local connection.
Really, bumper stickers?
And "intense." Perpetually furrowed brow. Might just be the way he looks all the time, but it translates into unease or feeling pressure.
But Jindal is right on government spending. The only way we can cut government spending is entitlement reform.
I know, I know!
Like we can’t tell they have Fuller brushes on their lids when they look down...
Like Little Nell in Dudley DoRight!
Good on Christie...he wants to audit the Fed.
Thanks very much, Kristinn!
I’ve been watching from the beginning.
Jindal trying to too hard to be forceful and to start fights.
Christie trying too hard to be gracious and trying with all his heft to be funny and the most knowledgeable. I didn’t want to count the number of times he was going to say “new Jersey,” so I haven’t.
Huckabee seems strained and can’t seem to relax enough to be folksy.
Santorum has already run over his allotted time twice and admittedly whatever he’s said, has gone in one of my ears and straight out the other.
At least Christie is ragging on Hillary Clinton.
