Tonight is the fourth GOP presidential debate of 2015 and the candidates are gearing up for the big event. The main event starts at 9:00 p.m. Eastern and will air on Fox Business Network. The undercard debate featuring the second-tier candidates will take place at 7:00 p.m. Eastern and also air on Fox Business Network.
Trump, who has led the national polls throughout the election season thus far, is likely to face a barrage of attacks from the other candidates in the main debate. In the first debate, Rand Paul was really the only candidate to fire back at him and he has no plans to slow down. In the second debate, Paul fired at him again several times. The third debate, however, was a little easier on Trump, but it was a mess with everyone yelling and talking over each other.
Since the first debate, candidate Jeb Bush has dubbed Trump’s immigration plan as “unrealistic” and the two even got into a little altercation on Twitter.
As for what Paul has had to say, he told the Daily Caller: “I think ultimately when voters fully grasp who he is and what he supports, I think they’ll run away with their hair on fire.”
Another candidate who may come under fire is Ben Carson because he recently was reported to have lied about receiving a scholarship from West Point. Politico reports that:
Carson said he received a “full scholarship” from West Point, in writing and in public appearances over the years — but in fact he did not and there is actually no such thing as a “full scholarship” to the taxpayer-funded academy.
