Debate Brings Fire Power, and More Trump

DETROIT – Donald Trump is in a good spot.

The businessman had another grand performance during last night’s GOP debate in Detroit, criticizing the other’s foreign policy plans and methods to improve the economy, while continuing his rhetoric to personally insult fellow candidates.

The debate, which was held at the historic Fox Theatre, saw a stage of four republicans in desperation mode to impress voters and win states. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz made more potent insults toward front runner Donald Trump, while John Kasich, the fourth place underdog candidate, tried to impress the audience with his economic plan, backing it up with the experience he had working in Washington.

Ben Carson, the fifth place candidate, whose hometown is Detroit, chose not to attend the debate after saying Wednesday that he did not see a path to the presidency. Carson will address the media later on Friday about the future of his campaign.

The debate brought fiery comments from all sides of the stage concerning immigration, rebuilding the economy, fraud in Washington, and abortion.

Underdog candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio brought up the personal insults they have received from Trump, trying to vie for their own airtime with Trump caught off guard.

Trump even made nice with Fox News anchor Megan Kelly, who moderated last night’s debate. During the first republican match-up in August in Cleveland, Trump got into a feud with Kelly, after she asked him about why he called women sexist names.

Kelly and Trump were in a feud until last night, when they subtly complimented each other about how well they looked. The humorous exchange of words was at the expense of the audience, who has not seen a Kelly-Trump  showdown since August. The last Fox News debate Kelly was moderating, Trump skipped, afraid that a bad performance would possibly hurt his chances in the Iowa caucus.
The next states to vote in Democratic and Republican primaries are Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Maine, who will vote this Saturday to hand out their delegates for a potential nominee. Trump leads the polls in all of the states going in for the republicans
