Things to Watch For in GOP Debate

With the CNBC debate not going the way anybody wanted it to, tonight’s debate is going to be hosted by Fox Business.

With at least seven more debates scheduled, networks have an opportunity to do this right – to direct each debate toward the candidates and issues.

The format of Tuesday night’s debate should benefit the candidates participating in the prime-time event.

The network’s handling of the debate caused the Republican National Committee to suspend their relationship and any future debate arrangements.

Bartiromo echoed Cavuto’s statement and said, “After that [CNBC] debate, I realized, I knew my marching orders”.

That’s a stark contrast with CNBC – but maybe also a low bar.

Do you think Gov. Chris Christie should have been included in the Fox Business Network main stage debate Tuesday night?

The unusual exchange came just before the second commercial break, when Wall Street Journal Editor Gerard Baker asked Donald Trump about his opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade agreement among the United States, Canada and 10 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. Donald Trump has received (and has taken) much of the credit for an extraordinary surge in viewership. If you think walls don’t work all you have to do is ask Israel.

Bush tried his best to look more feisty and engaged, but even Trump seemed sorry for him.

Candidates routinely ignored the Fox bell that was meant to cut off long answers, nearly to the point of parody. The GOP’s response following the CNBC debate drew scoffs, ire and punch lines from politicians and candidates.At a press conference to promote his latest book “Crippled America”, the billionaire developer and White House aspirant repeatedly went after CNBC’s John Harwood, one of the moderators at the GOP debate.

Aides to four of the eight candidates said they had no major objections to the moderators’ questioning. “Thanks for including me in the tax debate”.

Cavuto noted a “stylistic” change from the real estate tycoon, where he allowed others “to mix it up and get nasty with each other” while holding back and not engaging.

Neil Cavuto, of the Fox Business Network, appears during a segment his program in NY. That is more than enough time to cover candidates’ thoughts on domestic and foreign policy.

Likewise, third-running U.S. Sen.

Unsurprisingly, Fox’s owner Rupert Murdoch was happy with what he saw.
