This past Wednesday the candidates for the Republican party nomination gathered once again for the second GOP debate. Overall, each candidate made great points, and there was no fighting between the candidates this go-around. Everyone I have spoken to about the debate have said the same thing: the Republicans did great, but CNBC did not. The moderators of the debate were not fair and impartial, and it was clear to America that instead of discussing issues they wanted to see cat fights break out on stage.

They did not have their questions or facts together, and were not professional with the candidates and allowed the debaters to take over the running of the event. Not knowing their questions and facts well enough caused America to become confused, and the candidates to become annoyed. At the first Republican debate, FOX had their act together, but the nominees did not. Now, the candidates seem united and the commentators a hot mess.

One thing the GOP candidates only mentioned one time (that I caught) was Bernie Sanders. Sanders is leading the Democratic party polls, but the Republicans still attacked Hillary Clinton as the nominee. It seems some Americans do not want Clinton in office, and apparently some Democrats do not either, which means maybe the Republicans keep attacking her to gain popularity. With Sanders steadily on the rise, however, the GOP candidates should consider him a threat as well.

All in all, the GOP candidates were much more posed and professional at this debate. Carly Fiorina and Rand Paul were both able to drive home great points, and Ted Cruz had a few great moments as well. The CNBC debate gave a chance for the candidates to shine, and the network to lose some merit.
