We knew there was going to be fireworks. And we got them with no big surprises with The Donald in the house.

Donald Trump:

The debates started with a bang with Trump not agreeing to pledge to support the Republican candidate should he not make the nomination. Moderator, Megyn Kelly also challenged Trump and his temperament towards women and if it was that of a person with a desire to run for the office. Trump defended his brash behavior and remarks with “this country does not have time to be politically correct.” The challenging questions continued to keep Trump on his toes from his openly pro-life stance in 1999 to the 2009 bankruptcy of Trump Entertainment Resorts with Megyn Kelly finally asking him-“When did you actually become a Republican?” Trump continued with his bombastic behavior with a lot of the same strategies we have seen before-name-calling, finger-pointing and not a great number of solutions.

Jeb Bush:

As former governor of Florida, Bush called himself “Veto Corleone” for vetoing line items while in office. He is in favor of a 4% growth strategy and stated that the left’s new normal of 2% is dangerous with the net result yielding lower wages and fewer jobs. Bush plans to cut short the Iran Agreement and believes Obama abandoned Iraq. Bush stated a need to control our borders with e-verify, eliminating sanctuary cities and dealing with illegals who overstay their visas. He is in favor of a path to legal status and not amnesty. As former governor of Florida, Bush stands behind his pro-life stance; he defunded Planned Parenthood and ended partial-birth abortion in Florida. He also expressed his support for Common Core Standards in schools with educational curriculum reform at the local and state levels.

Scott Walker:

Walker stated that Iran was not a place to do business and is in favor of tearing up the Iran deal. He expressed his concern that our country is leading from behind right now and urged leading from the front and focusing on rebuilding and fortifying the relationship with Israel and our allies in the Middle East. Walker also stated his position of national security with this classic remark:
“Russia and China government know more about Hillary’s server than we do.”
He also agreed that an unborn child is in need of protection. Walker also is in favor of training law enforcement personnel from the beginning and throughout their employment. He stated that in terms of the Obama/Clinton era there has been “more mush than push.”
