Fifth Republican Debate: Trump and Cruz Starring

On the evening of Tuesday, December 15, in Las Vegas, Nevada, the fifth and last Republican debates took place this year. They were conducted by CNN.

After the attacks in Paris и San bernardino This was the first meeting of nine candidates. The main topic, as expected, was the issue of national security and terrorism. The discussion, including, turned around a conceptual dilemma: is it possible to preserve the privacy of the privacy of Americans or is it worth sacrificing for the sake of successfully combating terrorism.

For each of the potential candidates for the main chair in the White House, this was a particularly important public appearance. In two months, the Iowa caucuses will be held - party meetings at which the primary nomination of presidential candidates will take place. In fact, they will kickstart the electoral process. Therefore, the leaders of the Republican race tried to consolidate their positions as much as possible, and the outsiders tried to strengthen them. As a result, the debates turned out to be one of the most interesting this year.

Winners and losers

The winners of the fifth political battle among the Republicans of CNN immediately named five candidates: Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie.

Actually, this is not the first time for Donald Trump. The controversial businessman and politician has recently made so many resonant statements that during the debate, the presenters repeatedly asked other candidates to comment on his words. As a result, questions with the wording “What do you think about this or that statement by Trump?” Trump himself was tired. The businessman even called “unprofessional" debate from CNN, finding it "very unfair that almost everything comes down to Trump."

Ted Cruz, who is catching up with Trump in national polls and has already surpassed the billionaire in the Iowa poll, has had many discussions with the third number in the Republican race, Marco Rubio, in particular regarding the solution to the issue of illegal migrants and the fight against the Islamic State. And both candidates with Cuban roots performed quite well during the debate.

Jeb Bush, with a national 3% rating, yesterday was quite active in discussions and somewhat aggressively attacked Trump. And the inconspicuous before that, the Governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie constantly appealed to his experience a lawyer who had previously represented US interests in terrorism trials, stressing that none of the other claimants had a practical background in combating terrorist threats.

CNN listed the remaining four as losers in this debate. Thus, Ben Carson, who is already constantly losing ground in the ratings, during the debate was unable to demonstrate a clear vision of how to deal with external threats. Carly Fiorina once again repeated a set of points that she voiced during previous debates. John Kasich did the same thing. And all the attempts of the libertarian Ren Pole to provoke the leading contenders into a discussion ended in vain - the Republicans used the time to respond to his attacks to voice their positions, and not to discuss Pole’s statements.

Muslim issue

The debate began with the theme of the anti-Muslim statements of the favorite of the presidential race, Donald Trump.

A few days after the shooting at San Bernardino, he proposed temporarily close the American borders for Muslims. Jeb Bush, ex-governor of Florida, whose campaign with a bang failed, pounced for it on the multimillionaire: “Donald, you good at making jokesbut you are the candidate of chaos. And you will be the president of chaos. You will not be the commander-in-chief we need to guarantee the security of the country. ”

He didn't mince his words. “Jeb doesn't really think I'm crazy. He says this simply because his campaign failed. This is a catastrophe. No one is interested in him,” quotes the applicants Euronews. This exchange of “courtesies” set the tone for further discussion.

However, Trump did not refuse his scandalous statement, but stressed that his proposal included not about religion, but above all about security.

Ted Cruz, main rival Trump did not resort to harsh criticism of the billionaire, but to some extent even supported him, saying that he would "fight not with religion, but with a political and autocratic ideology that wants to destroy us."

The topic of Trump’s statements was soon closed, since the rest of the debate participants did not develop it much, especially since the streams of criticism had already spilled out on a businessman earlier.

Trump and Party

Donald Trump put an end to the question of his possible nomination as an independent candidate if the Republican party does not support his candidacy for the primaries. With this he frightened the party members who had attacked him, in particular after stating the need to impose a ban on entry for Muslims. During the debates, he unequivocally reaffirmed his commitment to the interests of the Republican Party, saying that he would not become an independent candidate. This means that if the Republican Party does not nominate him as a single candidate for the primaries, he will not continue to fight for the presidency.

However, in the case of Trump, it may not be a point in the question, but only a semicolon. In September, for example, he also stated that he would not be the third candidate in the presidential election, and then changed his position.

Ted Cruz vs. Marco rubio

At the last debate, the rivalry between Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Florida Senator Marco Rubio was most evident. Raising the topic of national security, Ted Cruz said that if he is elected, America will not be politically correct and will stop terrorist attacks before they happen. “We will completely destroy the Islamic State,” he practically vowed, and later added: “The Islamic State and radical Islamic terrorists will have no enemy more determined than me.”

At the same time, Cruz condemned the current government, saying that the White House’s foreign policy campaign is more like posing for the press than a real fight against terrorists.

At the same time, Rubio criticized Cruise for underestimating such a factor in the fight against terror as collecting data on extremists. A noteworthy point was the discussion by the two senators of the recently suspended program of the US National Security Agency for the mass collection of data on telephone conversations of Americans. Cruz just voted against this program.

“Now we need more tools, not less,” defended the program Rubio. “We lost the metadata collection program.” It was a valuable tool that is no longer at our disposal. ”

Cruz countered: the NSA's surveillance system is stronger today than before. “Marco knows that what he says is not true,” writes Voice of America.

Sunset ben carson

If in October, Ben Carson, a neurosurgeon who was the first in the world to divide the occipital Siamese twins, represented a serious threat to Trump, now his chances of winning are low. According to a recent poll by ABC News and Washington Post, Carson's rating fell to 12% compared to Trump's 38%.

Republican debates on defense against foreign threats and terrorism have only made his position worse. When the host asked Ben Carson, a pediatric neurosurgeon, if he could order bombings that could kill hundreds or thousands of innocent children, he went on to extensively compare the fight against the Islamic State to removing a tumor from a small child's head. “So you are okay with the deaths of thousands of innocent children and civilians?” — the presenter asked in surprise to the disapproving roar of the audience. Carson had nothing to oppose.

Carson gave an equally bizarre answer to the moderator’s question about whether the neurosurgeon could be the commander in chief. In response, Ban Carson stated that he had command experience and once ran a scholarship program. However, this answer did not become the most strange this evening.

When the presenter asked Ben Carson how he would interact with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the former doctor gave an even stranger answer, in which he suggested restraining Putin with the help of Kim Jong-un and making Europe dependent on the United States in matters of energy supply. It is unlikely that after such a performance, Ben Carson should count on the growth of his rating.

Recall, the official candidate for the presidency of the United States from the Republicans will be named at the National Congress Party 18-21 July 2016, in Cleveland (Ohio).
