Republican Presidential Candidates Set For Debate Thursday

Rand Paul representing a segment of GOP voters frustrated with military action overseas and what they see as infringements on personal liberties.

The ever-unapologetic Trump then chastised the country for being too “politically correct”.

As a businessman, before I make a decision, I consult with the smartest, most successful people.

Fehrnstrom said that Trump “brings a lack of order and predictability to the stage”, and the primary debate could “descend into chaos” that would be politically damaging to any candidates drawn in.

Erick Erickson, who moderated a pre-debate town hall, called her the clear victor of the first debate – to applause from the crowd – while panelist Kate Pavlich of Townhall praised her for taking on Donald Trump and for embracing her opportunity in the less debate rather than whining about the requirements for the main one. That will be his biggest challenge of the night.

Clinton has not been accused of any wrongdoing in that probe, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the investigation.

Trump quickly responded: “Only Rosie O’Donnell”.

The debate will be a key test for Trump.

To Trump’s right on the stage will be Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, whose victories over unions in his home state created his national profile.

Somewhere in the night, Mike Huckabee wonders just how much more populist rhetoric he has to spew to be considered a closet Democrat.

“We need to use our technological advantages, because what we’ve warned of is an worldwide guerilla movement”, Mr. Gilmore said. “It is ridiculous and tragic that people are dying because of the fact that local governments are not following the law”.

Much of the debate centered on foreign policy and national security. Several campaign strategists, however, expect Trump to remain on a higher road come debate time, Politico reported.

Immigration and counterterrorism dominated the early stages of the debate, two issues that highlight the deep divisions within the Republican Party.

The open contempt for Trump was on full display at the earlier debate.

And Trump has managed to do so in spite of having stumbled into tar pits of controversy that would have swallowed up the candidacies of practically anyone else.

Former technology executive Carly Fiorina, former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Sen. “At a time when many Americans are demoralized about politics and have given up on the political process, I think it’s imperative that we have as many debates as possible – certainly more than six”.

“How can you run for the Republican nomination and be for single-payer healthcare?” he said, before hitting Mr. Trump on immigration, which the mogul has sought to make a signature issue.

And Trump’s rivals may well have to revolve their answers around his outsized personality as well.

Live streaming will be available at the Fox News website and via the Fox News app, but both require a cable subscription log-in.

“This is going to be a show-me, don’t-tell-me election”, Perry said, adding: “And I think that the record of the governor of the last 14 years of the 12th largest economy in the world is just the medicine America is looking for”.

“They all reflected our values, hopes, and interests, but I particularly felt Carly Fiorina did the best”, she told msnbc.

Later in the debate, Bush cautioned that Trump’s “divisive” language could be detrimental to the Republican Party. “Trump can go in there and feel presidential and the average American can say: you know, behind the strong language and the vivid words, there’s a guy that can be in the Oval Office”.
