TV debates of presidential contenders

In the US - the televised debate of candidates for the presidency of the Republican Party.

Eleven applicants are taking part in them to become a presidential candidate from the Republican Party. However, almost all discussions on the run-up to the debates concern only one of them - Donald Trump.

An eccentric, scandalous businessman who unexpectedly for all became the favorite of the Republican race.

Today’s debate should help to answer this question, but so far Trump is confidently moving towards this: according to polls, he is ahead of his opponents, with whom he, incidentally, doesn’t particularly stand on ceremony. So everyone is waiting for Trump to say something shocking today.

From trump got, it seems, to all his opponents. For example, he questioned the achievements of his rival, the famous physician Ben Carson. About his opponent Carly Fiorina, he said: look at her face, can she be elected president?

In the run-up to the debate in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, located near Los Angeles, one of Trump's competitors, Senator from Kentucky Rand Paul, called him a "fake conservative." Other candidates point out that Trump’s views, today or in the past, are more in line with the liberal principles of the Democratic Party and far from the views of the main electoral base of conservative Republicans.

Trump's rhetoric against Washington, demands to send 11 millions of illegal immigrants from the US and ridicule his opponents helped him to take first place in Republican polls. A CBS / New York Times poll this week showed that with 27% support, Trump is ahead of another political freshman, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, whose rating is 23%.

None of the other candidates who will be on stage today with Trump and Carson received a double-digit support during the poll.
