There is a small upside to being in the JV debate: You actually get to answer questions. In tonight’s one-hour debate, everyone got to tackle more questions than any of the debaters in Oct. 28th main-stage debate (twice as long as tonight’s undercard one). Candidates got between seven and nine questions, meaning that they nearly all got more than twice as many as Bush, Christie, Cruz and Fiorina were asked last time around.

Chris Christie has a lot of Republicans to beat, but he’s spent the most time going after Hillary Clinton. Santorum’s one “Clinton” mention is actually for Bill.

Someone in my family has fought in every war from Iraq/Afghanistan (both wars via one of my cousins) to Vietnam (two uncles) and on and on, back to the Civil War. But as someone who gets to listen to veterans around the dinner table, I can tell you they too have disagreements about policy. They all deserve our honor and respect, first of all, and the respect of being listened to and not being spoken for.
