Fox News Undercard Republican Debate: Live Coverage

Rick Santorum, unsurprisingly, spent a lot of time talking about “radical Islam” in response to a question about terrorism. But what you might not realize is that he’s also made it a focal point of his campaign. When we saw him in Iowa a few weeks ago, he spent two-thirds of his remarks talking about foreign policy with most of the focus on ISIS and Iran. One way to interpret this: Islam is the new “culture war” issue on the right, as much as abortion or gay marriage. That may be why Santorum and Mike Huckabee are cozying up to Donald Trump.

Here’s an article from Wired that explains why it’s not as simple as Huckabee makes it sounds to remove ISIS from major social-media platforms.

Carly Fiorina just went after Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the importance of climate change. That’s not really much of a surprise. Just 20 percent of Republicans think global climate change is a very serious problem, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey. That contrasts with the 68 percent of Democrats who think it is a very serious problem.
