The latest Republican Presidential Debate 2015 takes place on Tuesday night on the Fox Business Network, and front runners Donald Trump and Ben Carson and other GOP candidates will be trying to convince Republicans and the American public why they should be the next president of the United States. The debate takes place from the Milwaukee Theater with an undercard debate having a start time of 7 p.m. ET, and the main Republican debate taking place from 9 p.m. ET. The debates can be watched on TV on the Fox Business Network or online through live stream via the link below.
The moderators for tonight's debate will be Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo, and they have promised to ensure the spotlight remains squarely on the candidates and their policies rather than on side issues.
In the last debate, hosted by the CNBC network, the moderators were heavily criticized for asking inflammatory questions and were accused of trying to make the event into a cage match instead of focusing on the real issues that American voters are interested in.
Many of the questions and commentaries by the CNBC moderators in the last debate were rebuked in the aftermath for being argumentative and not objective. That meant that in the days after the event, many analysts and political commentators were talking about the conduct of the moderators, and about how future debates should be managed, rather than the actual issues central to the candidates' campaigns.
Cavuto has said that he will stick to business and economic issues mostly and will remain objective. He said, "My goal is to make myself invisible. That I'm not the issue...That we're not the issue. The answers to what we're raising become the issue."
He added, "We're business journalists. We're nerds, we should embrace who we are, we want to stick to these subjects."
Bartiromo also said, "After that [CNBC] debate, I realized, I knew my marching orders. It was clearer than ever what my marching orders are, and that is to help the viewer, help the voter better understand what each candidate's plan is; is it a realistic plan, can it work and how is it different from the next guy or gal, and that's what I plan to focus on."
