The two-tiered debate hosted by Fox News on the 6th was qualitatively different from the C-SPAN forum held on the 3rd, for at least three reasons: it was a debate rather than a forum, where candidates were allowed to challenge each other, not just speak one at a time sequentially; it was divided into two tiers based on national polling numbers, only a subset of the candidates were on-stage (during each of the two distinct Fox News airtimes); and finally, <a href="/wiki/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a> and <a href="/wiki/Mike_Huckabee" title="Mike Huckabee">Mike Huckabee</a> were participants in the primetime tier, but did not appear at the C-SPAN forum.<a href="#cite_note-20150803cnn-32">[32]</a><a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a> The candidates in the main debate were Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and John Kasich.<a href="#cite_note-FoxClevelandLineup-34">[34]</a> The moderators were <a href="/wiki/Bret_Baier" title="Bret Baier">Bret Baier</a>, <a href="/wiki/Megyn_Kelly" title="Megyn Kelly">Megyn Kelly</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Chris_Wallace" title="Chris Wallace">Chris Wallace</a>.<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> Seven candidates who did not qualify were invited to participate in the 5 p.m. forum; these were Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina, Jim Gilmore, and George Pataki; the moderators for this debate were <a href="/wiki/Bill_Hemmer" title="Bill Hemmer">Bill Hemmer</a> and <a href="/wiki/Martha_McCallum" class="mw-redirect" title="Martha McCallum">Martha McCallum</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FoxClevelandLineup-34">[34]</a> Because of a rule-change announced<a href="#cite_note-politico-30">[30]</a> by FOX one week before the debate-invitations went out, Graham, Pataki, and Gilmore were allowed to participate at 5 p.m. despite averaging below 1% in the five selected polls.<a href="#cite_note-20150804wapo-36">[36]</a> (Former IRS Commissioner <a href="/wiki/Mark_Everson" title="Mark Everson">Mark Everson</a> was excluded from the 5 p.m. tier,<a href="#cite_note-20150804wapo-36">[36]</a> along with other relatively unknown candidates who did not meet the updated invitation-criteria of "consistently being offered to respondents in major national polls as recognized by Fox News.")<a href="#cite_note-politico-30">[30]</a> The five selected polls<a href="#cite_note-20150804wapo-36">[36]</a> were conducted by <a href="/wiki/Fox_News" title="Fox News">Fox News</a>,<a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a> <a href="/wiki/Bloomberg_Businessweek" title="Bloomberg Businessweek">Bloomberg</a>,<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> <a href="/wiki/CBS_News" title="CBS News">CBS News</a>,<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a> <a href="/wiki/Monmouth_University_Polling_Institute" title="Monmouth University Polling Institute">Monmouth University</a>,<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Quinnipiac_University_Polling_Institute" title="Quinnipiac University Polling Institute">Quinnipiac University</a>.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a><a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a> In the main event, Trump was afforded the most time to speak at the debate by the Fox moderators (at 10 minutes, 32 seconds) followed by Bush (8:31), Huckabee (6:40), Cruz (6:39), Kasich (6:31), Carson (6:23), Rubio (6:22), Christie (6:10), Walker (5:51), and Paul (5:10).<a href="#cite_note-20150806umnEdu-43">[43]</a> The debate itself was viewed by 24 million people at its peak, setting records for the most-watched presidential primary debate ever and the highest-rated non-sports telecast in cable television history.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> The two different debates received rather different analyses in terms of the performances of the candidates.

Trump also clashed with two of the moderators – Kelly and Wallace – on the issue of sexism with Kelly, and the issue of illegal immigration with Wallace (specifically, Trump's claims that the Mexican government was deliberately sending criminals into America illegally).<a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a><a href="#cite_note-48">[48]</a><a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> The lower tier debate was the first and only debate appearance of former <a href="/wiki/Texas" title="Texas">Texas</a> governor <a href="/wiki/Rick_Perry" title="Rick Perry">Rick Perry</a>, who dropped out of the race less than a month later, after he failed to qualify for the second primetime debate and said that this was damaging to his fundraising abilities.<a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="September_16,_2015_–_Simi_Valley,_California">September 16, 2015 – Simi Valley, California</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2016_Republican_Party_presidential_debates_and_forums&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: September 16, 2015 – Simi Valley, California">edit</a>]</div> The second debate took place at (and was co-sponsored by) the <a href="/wiki/Ronald_Reagan_Presidential_Library" title="Ronald Reagan Presidential Library">Ronald Reagan Presidential Library</a>, which previously hosted two of the <a href="/wiki/Republican_Party_presidential_debates,_2008" class="mw-redirect" title="Republican Party presidential debates, 2008">Republican debates in 2008</a> – the first and penultimate ones.

This change was made due to an unexpected scarcity of polls taken after the August 6 debate, which would otherwise have been particularly disadvantageous to Carly Fiorina, who had significantly increased her support in polls taken after that debate but who would otherwise have been kept out of the primetime debate due to her minimal support in the large number of polls taken before the August 6 debate.<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a> Eleven candidates participated in the prime time debate: <a href="/wiki/Jeb_Bush" title="Jeb Bush">Jeb Bush</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ben_Carson" title="Ben Carson">Ben Carson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chris_Christie" title="Chris Christie">Chris Christie</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ted_Cruz" title="Ted Cruz">Ted Cruz</a>, <a href="/wiki/Carly_Fiorina" title="Carly Fiorina">Carly Fiorina</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mike_Huckabee" title="Mike Huckabee">Mike Huckabee</a>, <a href="/wiki/John_Kasich" title="John Kasich">John Kasich</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rand_Paul" title="Rand Paul">Rand Paul</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marco_Rubio" title="Marco Rubio">Marco Rubio</a>, <a href="/wiki/Donald_Trump" title="Donald Trump">Donald Trump</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Scott_Walker_(politician)" title="Scott Walker (politician)">Scott Walker</a>.<a href="#cite_note-apsept10-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> The candidates in the undercard debate were <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Jindal" title="Bobby Jindal">Bobby Jindal</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lindsey_Graham" title="Lindsey Graham">Lindsey Graham</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rick_Santorum" title="Rick Santorum">Rick Santorum</a>, and <a href="/wiki/George_Pataki" title="George Pataki">George Pataki</a>.<a href="#cite_note-apsept10-55">[55]</a> Rick Perry had been invited to the undercard debate but suspended his campaign on September 11, effectively ending his candidacy.<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> Former governor Jim Gilmore did not qualify for either debate.<a href="#cite_note-apsept10-55">[55]</a><a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> The undercard broadcast took place at 3 pm PDT, while the main card broadcast took place at 5 pm PDT.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> The two-tiered CNN broadcasts were consecutive, with the primetime debate immediately following the second-tier broadcast.<a href="#cite_note-20150811hewitt-60">[60]</a> The moderator was <a href="/wiki/Jake_Tapper" title="Jake Tapper">Jake Tapper</a> of <a href="/wiki/CNN" title="CNN">CNN</a>, with participation by <a href="/wiki/Hugh_Hewitt" title="Hugh Hewitt">Hugh Hewitt</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dana_Bash" title="Dana Bash">Dana Bash</a>.<a href="#cite_note-61">[61]</a> The primetime debate, like the first on Fox News, was a massive ratings success with nearly 23 million viewers, roughly 1 million less than the previous debate, and setting the record for the highest-rated broadcast in CNN's history.<a href="#cite_note-Deadline-22">[22]</a> The primary focus of the debate was on <a href="/wiki/Carly_Fiorina" title="Carly Fiorina">Carly Fiorina</a>, the one and only candidate who rose from the "undercard" tier of the previous debate into the primetime debate this time around.

Priebus explained that CNBC had conducted the October 28 debate in "bad faith", arguing that "while debates are meant to include tough questions and contrast candidates' visions and policies for the future of America, CNBC's moderators engaged in a series of 'gotcha' questions, petty and mean-spirited in tone, and designed to embarrass our candidates.

Cruz also attacked Trump on his record of giving to Democrats as well as the polls, and attacked Rubio on illegal immigration and his vote to confirm <a href="/wiki/John_Kerry" title="John Kerry">John Kerry</a> as secretary of state. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="March_3,_2016_–_Detroit,_Michigan">March 3, 2016 – Detroit, Michigan</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2016_Republican_Party_presidential_debates_and_forums&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: March 3, 2016 – Detroit, Michigan">edit</a>]</div> The eleventh debate was held on March 3, 2016, at the <a href="/wiki/Fox_Theatre_(Detroit)" title="Fox Theatre (Detroit)">Fox Theatre</a> in downtown <a href="/wiki/Detroit" title="Detroit">Detroit, Michigan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-153">[153]</a> It was the third debate to air on Fox News Channel.<a href="#cite_note-politico-debatelist-154">[154]</a> Special Report anchor <a href="/wiki/Bret_Baier" title="Bret Baier">Bret Baier</a>, The Kelly File anchor <a href="/wiki/Megyn_Kelly" title="Megyn Kelly">Megyn Kelly</a> and Fox News Sunday host <a href="/wiki/Chris_Wallace" title="Chris Wallace">Chris Wallace</a> served as moderators.<a href="#cite_note-155">[155]</a> It led into the Maine, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Idaho, and Hawaii contests.
