Whether you love them, hate them, or fall somewhere in between, presidential debates have become a huge part of our political process. Here’s how to watch the first GOP debates of the 2016 presidential season.
The first Fox News debate begins at 5;00 PM EDT, with the seven Republican candidates who did not make the top ten cutoff, as determined by Fox News. Those candidates are Rick Perry, Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, Carly Fiorina, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki, and Jim Gilmore.
The main event will begin promptly at 9:00 PM EDT. The top ten candidates are:
Trump
Bush
Walker
Huckabee
Carson
Cruz
Rubio
Paul
Christie
Kasich
Fox News is tightly guarding access to the debates, which means unless you are a cable customer, you are out of luck watching them live.
You can watch the debates live on your TV, or on Fox News online‘s debate page, or on a mobile device. For all, you will need to login with your cable account information if you’re not connected to your regular cable provider.
NCRM of course will be providing updates throughout the evening and recaps and analysis tomorrow – if you can wait that long.
