The Republican Presidential primary candidates gathered once again. Last night, the candidates duked it out in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for another round of debates that aired on Fox Business and was co-hosted by The Wall Street Journal. This time the main topic of the debate revolved around issues such as foreign policy and the economy. The candidates that were invited into the ring are Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump.
TiVo® Research is here to give you the top five most re-watched moments. Although Trump is working his way back to top moment domination, it was another candidate that took that title last night. Check out below to find out who bested the Donald for most re-watched moment!
#1 – Paul: “We might want to point out China’s not a part of this deal.”
10:12 p.m. – After Trump responded to a question about the TPP with a condemnation of China’s role in the world economy, Paul chimed in with the fact that China is not, in fact, part of the TPP.
#2 – Trump: “It’s something where the Democrats and the Republicans both agree–it’s the only thing I can think of.”
11:02 p.m. – Trump responded to Cavuto’s question about his plans to get companies to bring money they have parked overseas back to the U.S. by pointing out that both parties desperately want the same thing. Where previous plans to keep corporate money in America have failed, Trump promised his plan would cause money to “pour back in to the United States.”
#3 – Trump: “We cannot let Hillary Clinton, who is the worst secretary of state in the history of our country, win this election.”
11:16 p.m. – Trump’s closing statement touched on plenty of sound bites including his personal success, campaign funding, and putting up a strong fight to win the election. His jab at Clinton managed to pique viewer interest.
#4 – Bartiromo: “If [Clinton] is indeed the nominee, you will be facing a candidate with an impressive resume.”
10:58 p.m. – Bartiromo asked why the country should trust Rubio over Clinton, a woman who has been closer to the office of the President. When Bartiromo stated that Clinton had an “impressive resume,” it elicited boos from the audience.
#5 – Rubio: “So tonight, I ask you for your vote and I ask you to join us at my website, marcorubio.com.”
11:15 p.m. – Rubio’s impassioned speech about wanting to “reach more people and change more lives than ever before” ended with a plug for his website. He managed to charm the audience into applause. Even Bartiromo commented, “He’s funny.” Trump referenced Rubio’s plug in his closing statement, saying “I don’t have to give you a website because I’m self-funding my campaign.”
