How to watch tonight’s South Carolina Republican debate

The coming Iowa caucuses will likely winnow the GOP field and the debate airing tonight might do the same. Hagenbuch. “For instance, if we use vulgarity or profanity to describe what another person has said or done, there’s a good chance our hearers will remember us as being vulgar or profane as much as they’ll remember what we’ve suggested about the other person”.

CHARLESTON, S.C.-The Republican debate stage may be smaller Thursday night, but it figures to be as heated as ever. Paul is boycotting the event altogether after failing to meet the national and early state polling threshold for entry. “But I do think it’s important that the conservative party nominate a conservative, and someone that understands the role of America in the world”. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, two darlings of Christian conservatives. One of them called Trump “a NY liberal pretending to have conservative values”. The biggest change that will benefit the victor from Iowa is that Iowa is a month later this year, and there are a lot of primaries in socially conservative states that occur in the weeks immediately following.

Remaining on the main stage are frontrunner Donald Trump, Sen. “Alas, he admits, comprehensive plans on things that matter “don’t resonate in the age of insult.”The solutions are there… but you’re not going to do a wonk-a-thon in 90 seconds”. He’s anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, but not antigay.

Bush isn’t often asked about his position on abortion while campaigning in New Hampshire.

Sen. Ted Cruz speaks at Charlie’s Steakhouse on January 4, 2016, in Carroll, Iowa. He has won the endorsements of the most notable anti-gay names in Iowa, including Congressman Steve King and Bob Vander Plaats, the head of the leading antigay organization there, The Family Leader.

At a separate campaign stop in New Hampshire last week, Bush told a town-hall questioner that he referred to Trump as a “jerk” because of his apparent mocking of Kovaleski.

While issues specifically affecting LGBT Americans have largely been in the background this election cycle, that won’t last for long.

Jeb answered that the government should be much more efficient, compact, nimble and respectful of the people they are serving. That’s especially true if you assume voters who continue to support Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and the rest are more favorably disposed to Trump and Cruz than to Rubio or anyone else in the “establishment lane”. He’s not competing with Trump and Cruz for voters – he’ll never win over that wing of the party. That could push Trump in that direction, too.

“I’m just telling you he’s got unserious views on serious subjects”, he added.

The former Florida governor also doubled down on calling Trump a “jerk,” knocking the businessman repeatedly during a swing across Iowa. The young Florida senator is entering the debate after weeks of fending off attacks on everything from his choice of footwear to his credit cards to his shoddy attendance record in the Senate.
