The fourth Republican presidential debate is tonight in Milwaukee on the Fox Business Network and FOXBusiness.com.

The prime time debate will run from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern Time. Click here to find your Fox Business Network channel.

The candidates who made the prime time stage averaged 2.5 percent or higher on the four most recent national polls. They are, in the order they qualified: Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Rand Paul.

The debate, at the Milwaukee Theatre, will be moderated by Fox Business Network's Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo and Wall Street Journal Editor Gerard Baker.

Four other candidates, who averaged at least 1 percent in the polls, will participate in an earlier debate at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. They are Chris Christie, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Bobby Jindal.
 

Maria Bartiromo! Once known as the Money Honey when she did financial reporting. I just might tune in!
 
Thanks! She could have been in the movies with her looks. Haven't seen her quite awhile and I hope she has held up well...

Click on her name above and it brings up her career. She has been around a long time and that includes CNBC, Wall Street Journal, and doing her reports from Wall Street Exchange. I always liked her positive ways and her looks too. I hope she does well this evening. A lot better than the CNBC group last time.
 
Not much new to share

1. Cut taxes on the Rich and on Corporations.. Increase them on the poor and middle class

2. NO increase in the minimum wage... in fact.. do away with it. People need to work REAL HARD to support their families

3. Kick out all the immigrants.. build a wall... (except Kasich want a path to citizenship)

4. Raise retirement age... cut benefits... privatize medicare...repeal Obamacare, replace with nothing..

5. Hillary SUCKS

6. Obama sucked even more

I watched the first hour.. and went to bed
 
I don't think there were may surprises.. Carson stayed pretty quiet and flew under the radar on policy issues.. but then he has none anyway

Kasich played the "sane" Republican card.. but of course that didn't go over very well with THAT crowd.

Trump stuck to his immigration.."round up and deport 11 million" routine.

Rubio wants to spend on family credits and increased military and had a fight with Rand Paul who doesn't

Poor Jeb.. He is just lousy at the debating stuff

Cruz is Cruz... mean spirited and evil.

Fiorina looks took all the same old talking points and tried to make them sound innovative only more nasal..
 
Now from a conservative person, I thought it was a pretty well run debate. Not any questions about personalities and other dumb questions like the last one at CNBC. Mostly on business questions that may or may not have interest to all. So yes, I felt it was a good debate. Lots of applause from the crowd for many of the points brought up. Especially when commenting on our leaderless current government.

Maria Bartiromo is a Very Intelligent, Sophia Loren, "lookalike". CNBC lost their best reporter when she moved over to FBN...IMO.

Agree or disagree, with the candidates...at least last nights debate was conducted in a more Adult manner, by the FBN moderators, than the last CNBC debate. The effort last night was concentrated on the Issues, rather than Personalities.

The debate I will be interested in...if/when it occurs...will be a face to face confrontation between the eventual Republican candidate, and Hillary Clinton...who will most likely be the Democratic candidate.

Yes.. I do agree last night's debate was handled better. At least we got to hear the candidates' positions on various issues whether we agree with them or not. The last debates were horrible.. this was better
 
I thought the moderators did a professional job, and instead of trying to focus on themselves, they put the debate focus where it belongs on the candidates positions on issues and their idea's on how to solve them. The moderators treated the candidates with respect, as they should be treated. I thought it was interesting, and I learned more about the candidates positions then in earlier debates.
 
I didn't watch the whole debate, but it's good to put the moderators in check when they need it, supposed to be a debate to learn about a possible next President, not a circus side-show. This was the best run GOP debate so far, IMO. I think Trump's insistence on rounding up all of those people in America and kicking them out is unrealistic. Kasich and Bush had a more reasonable attitude on the topic of illegal immigration. Did Rubio give his plan for immigration, I don't remember hearing his resolution to the issue?
 
Carson doesn't like it when the "media" tells lies about him, but the cons have been calling Obama a Muslim and a Kenyan for eight years.

The cons don't like "gotcha" questions, but spent million$ on 13 hearings on trying to get Hillary in "gotcha" questions on Benghazi. Didn't work, did it. What goes around, comes around.

Rand Paul had the best line last night, when he asked Rubio, "What's conservative about spending another trillion dollars on the Pentagon?"

Kasich sounded the most realistic of the bunch, declaring that deporting eleven million illegals was impossible. After the debate, he said that the aliens would be "assimilated"....by the Borg?

Does anyone really believe the Mexicans are going to pay for the wall?

Does America really want to live like Israel?

Does anyone really believe the IRS will be eliminated? The department of Education?

Cruz had his Perry moment with Commerce...twice.

Fiorina interuptous....Trump calling the kettle black...

War with Iran, Syria, Iraq, Russia, and China...a winning issue?
 
War with Iran, Syria, Iraq, Russia, and China...a winning issue?

Don't forget North Korea... I think Trump would like one with them for good measure.
 
The argument for keeping a large and alert military was to avoid it becoming a war. That worked for many years, but now as pointed out, China and Russia are again making expansion moves and that becomes a threat to many of our agreements to defend neighbors if attacked. Keep strong and that should make the aggressor types a bit more reluctant to be so aggressive to their neighbors. How big and how strong will be up to our government to determine. Whomever that may be.
