The first Republican debate of the year is tonight! It's on Fox Business Network again. If you don't get that channel on your teevee, then you can watch it online (http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2016/01/11/fox-business-network-to-live-stream-gop-presidential-debates-january-14.html). The main debate starts at 9:00 eastern and the kiddie debate is at 6:00 eastern.
There will be seven candidates in the main debate. Fiorina and Paul were in the main debate last time, but they've been demoted for this debate.
While we wait for it to start, let's ponder the official Republican response to the State of the Union. The official response wasn't about Obama's speech so much as it was about Donald Trump..
A rebuke flung by GOP elites to the party's "angriest" voices -- code for Donald Trump -- in the official response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night only served to highlight differences opened by a boisterous presidential campaign.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley spoke to a national television audience and delivered the most visible and explicit shot yet by party grandees against what many see as the presidential front-runner's disastrously divisive rhetoric.

When the Republican party promised to treat Trump fairly in exchange for his agreement not to mount a third party challenge, was this what they were talking about? An official response that criticized Trump? That's not fair treatment.
