2. Second Republican Debate Turns Focus Away From Politics

The Republican party had its second debate of the Presidential campaign season Wednesday night. As reported by CBS news, at the start of the debate many of the politicians did not introduce themselves by referring to their current position. Much of the non-political debate occurred between GOP frontrunner Donald Trump and several of the other 10 candidates that were on the stage for the debate. Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina argued back and forth about business records, while Bush even asked Trump to apologize to his wife for comments he made about Bush’s wife Columbia.
