Tonight’s the night for another GOP fight, this time on CNN. This is your open thread to debate (or agree) with what the Republican candidates are debating.
Jake Tapper is tapped to be the moderator for both debates. CNN’s Dana Bash and radio talk guy Hugh Hewitt will offer additional questions.
The lower-tier presidential candidates will go head-to-head-to-head-to-head. A 15-minute analysis with Anderson Cooper follows. After that, the top eleven candidates will go head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head-to-head in the prime-time debate. Post-debate analysis follows, but you can go elsewhere for that if you want since the other news networks will be dissecting what the candidates have to say.
This is the schedule for tonight’s debate:
6pm ET/3pm PT: CNN Republican Debate part one, with candidates Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, and George Pataki.
7:45pm ET/4:45pm PT: Anderson Cooper 360 with some guy and probably other guys and wimmenz.
8:00pm ET/5:00pm PT: CNN Republican Debate part two, with candidates Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Jeb! Bush, Scott Walker, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, and Chris Christie–in that order from left to right on the stage…like this:
The 2 stages are set for the Sept. 16 #CNNDebate. Who makes the main stage? http://t.co/75Pm4p32nP pic.twitter.com/fuSq6ZiLkW

11pm ET/8pm PT: Anderson Cooper 360 with that guy again and other people, but who cares by that point, am I right?
Those greedy Republican-types who are fortunate enough to afford to have cable can watch the debates on their fancy widescreen LCD/LED/LSD/plasmoid televisions.
Slightly less fortunate Repubz, unaligned civilian Americans, and emotional Demolib kinds with interwebwork highway access can stream the debates on the lines in real time (not that fake time) at CNN’s website, at this thing called CNNgo (whatever that is), or on your fancy non-derp phone with mo-bile applicationaries which can be loaded down from this linkage.
If you can’t stand to look at the faces of the Republican candidates but want to hear them go back and forth and ’round and ’round, ’round and ’round, there’s a good chance you can listen to the debates on your local over-the-airwaves radio station, if any in your area are owned by Salem Communications. In case you don’t know if any Salem radio stations are near you, you can go here to locate them across these United States of America.
So now you have little excuse to miss Trump telling it like it is in your faces, everybody–unless you’re going to be too busy with the facts of life.
You can take the good. You can take the bad. You could take them both, but I don’t care. Because I’m a heartless, selfish, stereotypical Are-Dubya-En-Jay, so I’m led to believe.
And so are you.
Like last time, I request that you guys play nice, you guys. Kaythanksbye.
