Is inexperience hurting Donald Trump’s Republican Presidential candidate bid?

Each rating point equals 1 percent of the 116.4 million USA television homes tracked by the company. In most cases, that meant attempting to show an even temperament in a tiff with frontrunner Donald Trump.

2) Mr. Trump started strong, asking why Rand Paul was on the stage with the rest of the front-runners.

He also repeated remarks made directly after the three-hour debate that “nobody did poorly”, naming Carly Fiorina and Jeb Bush as coming off particularly well.

Mr Trump recently insulted Mrs Fiorina’s appearance, saying: “Look at that face!”

“I thought he was going to push me harder to apologize to his wife,” Trump told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe“. But just about all of the candidates forgot about the Gipper when it came time to talk about immigration.

Bush defended his choice, joking that he had been speaking English throughout the entire debate.

The front-runner grabs attention again as 10 other candidates try to raise doubt about his fitness to be president. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., Sen.

“I will know more about the problems of this world by the time I sit (in the White House, )” Trump said, noting that he didn’t know as much about worldwide affairs because he doesn’t have the experience that Rubio does as a member of the Senate.

Trump got laughs when CNN debate moderator Jake Tapper asked the candidates what their Secret Service codenames would be if they could select them.

On the issue of substance abuse, Fiorina, who lost a stepdaughter to drugs, said, “We need to tell young people the truth: Drug addiction is an epidemic, and it is taking too many of our young people“. In the debate’s early moments, Bush tried to challenge Trump directly but was repeatedly interrupted. Jeb Bush said his brother, often criticized for his decision to invade Iraq in 2003, “kept us safe” after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Trump did share a tender moment with Ben Carson over opposing the Iraq War.

In the months ahead, as the marathon continues and the field begins mercifully to narrow, one can only hope that there’ll be more substance and less foolishness. Trump winced as the question was asked. Love stated that those records should “come into play”.

He the reminded voters about his compelling personal story, including his parents’ move to the United States from Cuba – and his grandfather who idolised Ronald Reagan.
