On Tuesday November 10th, the 4th Republican debate took place in Milwaukee. After the 3rd debate with CNBC, the RNC (Republican National Committee) suspended the February GOP debate on NBC. The reason stated was because, as the Chairman of the RNC said, CNBC moderators were “conducting the debate in bad faith.”
The 4th Republican debate was an actual debate compared to the previous ones. The moderators were classy Neil Cavuto, WSJ Editor in Chief Gerard Barker and Maria Bartiromo. Millions of people watched it on the FOX Business News channel.
There were actually two debates. NJ Governor Chris Christie lost numbers in the polls and was demoted to the 1st round to have debate with Bobby Jindal and Mike Huckabee. Christie was focusing on cyber war between China, Pacific Pact and mainly Clinton. Jindal was going against Mike and Christie about how they led their states and how he led Louisiana in a better way. Christie repeatedly wanted to talk about “how to cut government spending.” But Jindal was pushing his buttons by giving facts about how he governed his state. In my opinion, Christie looked like a winner for the first round.
In the 2nd round, most of the candidates talked about minimum wage, cutting income taxes, and how to pay our $19 trillion debt by cutting government spending. The winner of the debate was Marco Rubio; according to Glenn beck, John Kasich was the “total loser.” Kasich had opposing ideas with Rubio saying his plan will “fail.” Rubio’s $2,500 child tax credit is a different plan compared to the other candidates. But his 33% income tax rate is not too different than Jindal’s, said “liberal” Chris Christie. Trump talked about going into Syria with Russia and wiping out ISIS. To conclude from the historical facts, that is the best way to help the Syrian refugees, said Trump.
Ted Cruz with his 10% income tax rate looks like the best candidate for United States of America if you look at in a conservative way. But the poll numbers show the opposite. The next Republican debate will take place on December 15th in Nevada.
