Presidential Debate 2016 – Suyash Keshari
The Presidential Primary Debate saw senators saw the Republican candidates go head to head in a heated debate. The event held at North Charleston, South Carolina. While the Secondary starts at 6 pm, the main segment began at 9 pm. The debate was moderated by Neil Cavuto and Maria Bartiromo. Each candidate had 90 seconds to answer the question asked by the moderators and 1 minute for a follow up response.
The debate from the starting barraged President Obama. Donald Trump remarked “our country is run by an incompetent president,” and Chris Christie said “there’s a lot that the next prez will have to do to clean up the mess created by Obama.”
While each candidate had something to pick at with respect to President Obama, they did not leave their counterparts unheeded. Mark and Trump for instance went head to head, with both offering each other the VP spot and Trump furiously reacting very skeptically that “there is a a 2-4 percent chance of him doing well.”
Alexine Carr, a student from Wake Forest University watching the GOP debate said “it would be so interesting to find out what Obama has to say to all of this” while Collin Stuart, also a student at Wake Forest University remarked that “I did not like their stance on gun control.”
