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.
Cruz just casts a spell on Kasich. Kasich confused. Cruz out parsed him. Then the moderator slit his neck.
It’s the first time he has been really honest about who he is. He’s toast.
Kasich slit his own throat. Cruz just handed him the knife.
Didn’t Clinton help in this too? Just wondering....
Carly hitting a home run on how the government through FannieMae and FredddieMac created the real estate boom / bust -[I support Cruz, but am realistic that Trump is the likely candidate].
Trum never used the words “self deport.” I wish he had. BTW, I’m a Trump/Cruz supporter.
Kasich defends praises Obama.
Kasich tells the moderator ‘This is what Jeb meant’
Kashich ONLY ATTACKS Trump and Cruz.
Meanwhile, Trump is setting up his next rally for 10,000 supporters, anywhere, anytime. Trump is in Boss Mode.
I trust him. I trust Cruz too. Have my doubts about both, or course.
The candidates are running the debate, not the moderators.
It’s 250K.
KaSick.
Not sure this debate is any better than the others. We haven’t had the personal attacks from moderators, but it has bounced around so much and seems very disorganized. Not a lot of coherent statements from the candidates on any particular issue. An occasional good line or two, but lots of noise.
These recycled Snarly stump speeches are boring
I thought it was a great putdown. She started it - as usual - by being Snarly Carly and making a sarcastic comment about his “good deals.” Both my husband and I thought she was interrupting like crazy, filibustering while those silly, childish bells went off.
Carly’s voice attacks my spinal column. Gaaaaa. She is most annoying.
Kasich won’t be around for the next one although he might be next to Bernie Sanders.
Well, they had help from the WSJ!
Carly is grating, but some of her points are spot on.
Cruz could have DESTROYED Kasich if he just said, “No, John, the people are covered under FDIC. BOA fails, and the safety net we agree on does its work.”
I am done with this debate
I don’t think so. He took Rubio with him.
I think Bush took his ball and went home.
