Same charcters plus Carly Fiorina. Trump leading big in the polls still, back on center stage
. Will he talk about the issues or take shots at Fiorina face
. Ben Carson rose up to 2nd in the polls, will he get more questions this time around to show his views
or be passed over again. This should be another couple hours of pure fukkery.

CNN has moved its primetime Sept. 16 Republican debate from 9 p.m. EDT to 8 p.m., eliminating the long gap between its main event and the earlier forum for second-tier candidates, the network told campaigns in a conference call Tuesday afternoon.
A CNN spokesperson confirmed the time change.
The earlier debate with candidates who polled at least 1 percent in three national polls will start at 6 p.m. EDT, ending at 7:45 p.m.
According to sources who were on the call, candidates will not give opening and closing statements though they will have a 15- to 20-second window to introduce themselves. Candidates will also have one minute to respond to questions and 30-second rebuttals, if their name is invoked by another candidate.
CNN anchor Jake Tapper, as moderator, will ask the majority of questions, supplemented by questions from CNN Chief Political Correspondent Dana Bash and conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt.
Representatives for every invited candidate, except former New York Gov. George Pataki, were on the call.
Last week CNN changed the criteria of their primetime debate, ensuring that any candidate who falls within the top 10 in the average of polls since the first debate would have a spot on stage. That change cleared the path for the likely inclusion of Carly Fiorina, who experienced a surge in polling after her strong performance in the earlier “happy hour” debate on Fox in earlier August.

"let's stick to the issues" in an effort to grab his supporters in the former, or avoid catching his wrath in the latter. No idea what to expect out of Walker. Maybe he'll promise to see Richard Trumka in a fair one or personally deport Noam Chomsky.
