What many throughout the nation saw as a mistake in Fox News’ first Republican debate this past August has been remedied this go ‘round: Fox Business will live-stream the event online, for free, so that those who don’t have cable or satellite will be able to view the debate. Good move, Fox. You’ve learned your lesson. So, eschewing unnecessary fanfare, here are the down-and-dirty specifics on how to watch:
What: Fourth GOP Debate, in partnership with the Wall Street Journal, at the Milwaukee Theater, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
When: Tuesday, November 10th, 2015. 7:00-8:00 pm ET for the Undercard Debate, and 9:00-11:00 pm ET for the Main Event.
How to watch:
Debate Focus: Jobs, taxes, and the general health, or lack thereof, of our economy, as well as domestic and international policy issues.
The Moderators for the Undercard: Trish Regan, Sandra Smith and Gerald Seib:
Regan: “A moderator must be a fair, informed questioner. My goal is to make the debate about the issues, the candidates and our country.”
Smith: “We are going to do our own thing…we have an opportunity to show what we can do with this debate. We’ll host a professional, informative debate about the issues that matter most to the American people.”
“The undercard forum will be moderated by Gerald Seib, who is the Washington bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal. Seib has had a long and storied career in journalism, nearly all of which has been spent with the Wall Street Journal.”
The Moderators for the Main Event: Neil Cavuto, Maria Bartiromo, and Gerard Baker:
Cavuto: “We’re going to talk about money into Washington, money leaving Washington, the size of the government, how much you want to give in taxes. These are basic bread and butter issues that I’m quite comfortable exploring, and I think our audience is as well,” says Cavuto.
The goal, he said, is to be substantive but not arcane, to “keep it to English” and “keep it to big picture.”
Bartiromo: “I’m not interested in a fight. I’m interested in a conversation about moving the needle on growth, about moving the needle on jobs.”
“This will be the fourth debate and we still don’t have a clear idea how these guys plan to deal with the most important issue on voters’ minds — and that is jobs,” she says.
“Gerard Baker is the Wall Street Journal‘s Washington Bureau Chief. He served as Deputy Editor-in-Chief between 2009 and 2013. Previously, he was U.S. editor and an assistant editor of the Times of London.
Mr. Baker holds a degree in philosophy, politics and economics from Corpus Christi College, Oxford University.”
And, finally, a few things to look for in tonight’s debates, from Fox News and the Wall Street Journal:
Here’s hoping the Main Event proves to be far more substantive, far more adult, and far less overtly biased than its predecessor over at CNBC. With a bar that low, the only direction to go is up.
