“When I campaigned in Texas, I told voters in Texas that I would oppose the federal government having the authority to detain US citizens permanently with no due process”, he said. “It’s not as clear as just reading what he said”, Burr said. “And I’m at No. 1 by a lot….”

“You should see the eyes of some of those children when I say to them ‘We’re going to have to open your head out and take out this tumor, ‘” he said. This proposal was slammed from numerous other candidates last night.

“The Kurds are the greatest fighting force and our strongest allies”, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said.

“Donald, you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the presidency”, Bush said.

Asked if he disagreed with Trump because he was too broad, Cruz quipped amid laughter: “Well, you know, I’m reminded of what FDR’s grandfather said”.

Days after saying he’d “close” parts of the Internet to battle ISIS propaganda, Trump in the debate said that what he really wants is “getting our smartest and getting our best to infiltrate their Internet”. Trump is scheduled to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” on ABC7 at 11:35 p.m. PT.

Democratic candidates for president will debate this Saturday night on WBKO. And in second place is CNN’s Republican debate from September 16.

During the Tuesday night debate, Cruz noted that the NSA’s old program allowed the agency to check only 20% to 30% of phone numbers for terror ties, but that the new program reportedly encompasses almost 100% of phone numbers. Rubio came in third with 15 percent.

Also appearing in the main debate are New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Ohio Governor John Kasich, U.S. Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky and former corporate executive Carly Fiorina.
