Well folks it's that time again for another GOP primary debate. The debate will be hosted by FOX Business channel. The main stage debate will be at 9PM. This time there will be 7 candidates on stage, Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, Bush, Carson, Christie and Trump. So hoping this means they will give the candidates a little more time per question.

Interesting developments in the race lately. Trump has as predicted brought Cruz's ineligibility being a non-natural born citizen to the forefront of the campaign as the two are forced to break their truce to contest each other being perceived as the frontrunners. Bush has been somewhat on the offensive lately in hopes of regaining the favor as the establishment champion which Rubio and Christie seem to be trying to take over. Carson has vowed to embarrass himself publicly, which ought not be hard. For real why Ben Carson still even allowed on the stage, but not Rand Paul? Rand Paul being maltreated by the GOP base has decided to boycott the undercard debate; a risky gamble that may get him enough attention to stay in or may backfire on him and lay his campaign into the ground.
Kasich has seen a small resurgence in New Hampshire which has helped him stay in the dark horse seat on the main stage, so hoping my good servant will be a little more assertive tonight. Kasich has been highlighting his economic and Christian conservative record a little more noting his strong record on cutting taxes and creating jobs highly fiscal conservative policies, and has done great things helping the poor his Christian conservative policy.
This debate should be a good one as the first primaries are just around the corner so the candidates ought be a bit feisty as this is one of their last chances to try to climb up the hill, or in the frontrunners' cases push the others back down. Also it comes on the heels of the State of the Union address. Interestingly Trump was indirectly referenced in both the State of the Union and the GOP rebuttal by Nikki Haley (a favorite for the VP slot) so we may see some allusions to that. All ready Trump being a sharp one has taken to it.
Lastly, to consider the Democrat side of things Bernie Sanders has been rising as having a real shot to usurp Hillary. This ties into the GOP primaries as Hillary has been a main focus and topic of the GOP debates, and the GOPers, besides Trump, have largely ignored Sanders. So we may see a little more focus fire on Sanders from the other candidates.
Should be a good one for sure. Love how far this topic has come and I have noted how a lot of what we debate and discuss here ends up in their campaigns not long afterwards which proves we have the power just by speaking and agreeing or disagreeing to influence the race.
