GOP Republican Debate Post- KS

The theme of last nights GOP Republican Debate was primarily fueled by the media and audience. The questions were not on the issues of foreign policy, the economy or healthcare as one would expect, but were rather provocative and pointed. This was simply because of the media forum and style of debate (commercialized and drama filled) and the entertainment value that it added, as the audience saw the candidates character come to light. Catherine O’Connor, a Wake Forest freshman from England expresses her thoughts, opinions, and concerns about the said debate by stating, “The candidates were not entertained by the moderators questions and were pinned against each other when they would have rather talked about the issues.”
