Television
date: The next GOP primary debate is tomorrow, Feb. 13 starting at 9pm, live on
CBS, that’s Channel 4 in the greater Cleveland Time-Warner cable network. Moderator
is John Dickerson, with panelists Major Garrett and Kimberley Strassel. The
field is down to six: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ben Carson,
and John Kasich.
The
venue in Greenville, South Carolina holds under 2,000. Audience members are allotted
tickets based on their allegiance to the party establishment. Via Sundance:
The New Hampshire debate
audience was Old School Republicans who cheered Jeb Bush and jeered the
‘next-in-line-jumper’ Marco Rubio. However, South Carolina has already
shown their most preferential candidate in the North Charleston debate, where
party insiders were majority Rubio supporters. Expect Greenville to be
more like the latter than former.
I always thought Newt had a better idea: let the candidates debate amongt themselves: "No moderator, only a timekeeper.”
