Three of the casket

Although nine candidates made it to prime time, the “soloists” have already been determined. This is Donald Trump, who is leading in the ratings, and his two main rivals - Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.

It is expected that the main topics of discussion will be the fight against terrorism and national security.

Trump will be remembered for his anti-Muslim remarks that outraged not only America, but also Europe.

Republican strategists warn: Trump is not stupid and his attacks will only provoke him. He is “too smart, too ruthless, he loves a fight, he loves to counterattack,” says former House Speaker and Presidential Candidate (2012) Newt Gingrich.

Ted cruz recently burst out in first place in Iowa and is in second place in a national poll, which upsets Trump.

Odious billionaire speaks insultingly and disparagingly about his rival - says he is behaving «a bit like a maniac»and warns that Cruise does not know how to work in a team.

Criticizes Cruz and Marco Rubio, “number three” in the ratings - for his vague position on the issue of national security. It is possible that Rubio during the debate will take the side of Trump and will actively attack Cruise.

All other candidates are desperately hoping that for them after the debate, something will change for the better. First of all, this concerns Ben Carson, whose ratings have fallen recently.

The results of the debate are likely to affect the outcome of the vote on the New Hampshire 9 February 2016 primaries, and outsiders will have to think about whether they should remain on the list of candidates, writes Voice of America.
