A big change and last night s debate, the center of attention on the main stage was not donald trump. We will tell you who was in the spotlight and topics candidates did not discuss. You would think a big public to view would be exciting, not so much for this panda. How he fell asleep during his big moment in the spotlight. A night of fireworks as Top Republican contenders face off for their final debate of the year. Today, we are taking an in depth look at the gop debate and breaking down the big take away. I was entertained and thought it was a good debate. Probably the best so far. There were indepth answers and they were pretty feisty. For more than two hours they actually talked about terrorism and foreignpolicy. Ted cruz got the most airtime, follow by rubio and then trump. Fight night in las vegas. Jeb bush swinging at donald trump. Marco rubios winking at ted cruz. And, during all of it, in this ring, donald trott refusing to swing at all. At closest challenger, ted cruz. And refusing to carry on his long fight with the Republican Party. Are you ready to reassure republicans that he will run by republicans and abide by the decisions . I really am. In the first debate since the terrorist attacks and San Bernardino shootings. For more than two hours to focus is mostly on terrorism. If you think this is tough jeb bush may have had the biggest moment. And ted cruz may have had his biggest moment, while defending himself on immigration. He was fighting to grant amnesty not to secure the border. I was fighting to secure the border. I have never supported legalization and i do not intend to. Ben carson and Carly Fenner Reno had little camera time. And Chris Christie used his time to secure his feedback here at the main table here but, in the end, it may have been donald trump who may now be one step closer to that oval office. Hillary clintons name was used 31 times last night, a third from ted cruz alone as the Democratic Front runner she tweeted out little. Our first direct reference was when she retweeted this, someone else say two hours of bluster and fear. We still have a whole bunch to talk about, foreignpolicy. This was the third mostwatched debate. Apparently, people are still engaged in paying attention. Republicans are definitely engaged, probably because of all these controversy over controversial comments. Since his comment about banning muslims from entering the country . Absolutely. I want to bring in our political analyst. Donnie, i want to start with you with the chaos candidate asked mister bush said during that debate. I think he double down on what ross was saying about his proposal to temporarily banned muslims from coming into the United States. How do you think donald trump performed last night . I do not know if there were any winners last night. Trump did no damage to himself. The other strategy that you saw happening were really jeb bush and donald trump. Jeb bush is trying to prove that he is actually stronger enough to take on and bring down donald trump. Then he has to prove to the rest of the Republican Party that they should vote for him. The other storyline, ted cruz and marco rubio are both playing a long game. They are not trying to win the week, they are saying trump will fall on its own gravity and jeb bush will never succeed at picking himself up and one of the two of us will be the nominee. That is why you saw that other subplot of rubio versus cruz. A lot of different chess pieces last night. I agree. No clear winner, but some big wins. Jeb bush was strong for the first time and i think he actually made a big impression. Ted cruz had an incredible night. He was under attack from marco rubio, he chose to not attack donald trump. I really think he may great points and did himself some big favors. Let me bring in brian. Sometimes i felt jeb bush didnt look president ial. If you had jeb bush against trump, who do you think won the battle . Frankly, jeb put in his strongest performance last night. I thought that at times he had trump on his heels. That foretells what he may be able to do, but may be too little too late. Actually, i thought one of the very interesting things to watch last night was the debate between cruz and rubio. There was substance there, but then chris pointed out it was like a debate on the senate floor. To quote him, his eyes were glazed over. The reason that trump continues to resume resonate with people is because he speaks in common terms. When you Start Talking about in depth policy issues the American Public gets lost in the weeds and tend to gravitate towards people who can speak clearly and distinctly about things. You saw elements of that on all aspects last night. Do you think jeb bush was trying to convince the voters, yes, i am good for the country . Or was he trying to convince the gop and donors . One thing at a time, if he doesnt convince the donors and the gop establishment that he is a strong candidate, they are not going to give him any money or support and they will start going to look for someone else. Then, jeb bush, if he can accomplish proving that he is worthy of more donors he has to convince the voters. He has a very tough twostep path that frankly he didnt have. I think bush and cruz has the same strategy, to let the extreme candidates burn themselves out. We have are received carson fall down in the polls. Many have forecasted that donald trump will tumble as well. Jeb bush has enough money to wait this race out. Ted cruz has flat out said that is his plan. You do not drop out because you are not getting votes, you drop out because you are running out of money. Jeb bush and donald trump have a lot of money. Brian, i want to take us back to 2008, before that election will be giuliani was leading the way similar to donald trump. We know that Rudy Giuliani lost to john mccain. I am not quite sure on the history, what do you think the forecast is in regards to trump standing strong come 2016 . That is the history, what will happen is in february when you have the iowa caucus, a New Hampshire vote, south carolina, nevada, now people are being forced to actually say this is the candidate that i want to support. By the way, this is the candidate is nominated, will be the gops president ial aspirant. That is a huge question. While we are really entertain right now by comments, what will be interesting to see is rather the folks in iowa decide to back a cruise or a trump. Frankly, the profile for ted cruz in iowa, conservative christians give him the edge. Let me add one thing, when we get down to the voting in iowa, south carolina, having caught name recognition is important. But if you do not have Campaign Offices on the ground in most of those counties and paid staff analysts of thousands of and lists of thousands of volunteers that have been trained on what to do, you are going to lose. We have to leave it there. Brian, thank you very much for come again. I always like to think of it as college football. You have an Undefeated Team and everyone else has one loss. You know the Undefeated Team will be in the championship game. Were going to see who is going to be the one. Coming up, it was long expected, but today the Federal Reserve decided to raise Interest Rates. The bay area in the clear right now, coming up, the areas that will be near the freezing mark first thing tomorrow morning and rain chances in your fiveday. A quick look outside, that is 680 northbound, not looking good. Southbound is okay on this update. We will be right back. The Federal Reserve decided to raise a key Interest Rate by a quarter point. Analyst seymore rate increases are likely. George, i noticed some of the big banks all jumping on the bandwagon and announcing they too would increase their prime rate to print a half percent. What does this mean for people who have car loans, credit cards or were looking to purchase . The market enjoyed the rate increase today, but it was minimal. That really affects more the shortterm rates like auto loans, credit cards, not long term rates. It is only after we get around one percent until we see increases and longterm mortgage rates. Why baby steps . To help labor and the economy grow. It is like a train coming out of the yard, if you push it too fast it is hard to come back. If you push too hard it could cause inflation. True or false, todays news Means Nothing for folks looking to buy home . Absolutely nothing. I am talking from the perspective of a baby boomer. Rates are incredibly low right now and have been three times as high back in the past. I think a lot of firsttime home buyers forget or dont know that. What is really hurting the first time homebuyers, that is that San Francisco is on fire and housing costs are going way up. Even though mortgages are low, it is the cost of purchasing that is what delaying is delaying people. What about down the road, how high are we going to go . Today, we saw about 25 basis points and we expect about a sixmonth pause. Perhaps in june, another 25 basis points and a rate increase three months later and at the end of the year, putting us all land at about 1. 12 . That only gives us halfway there. In 2017 we would expect another one percent, getting us to the 2 . That doesnt mean it is going to happen though, right . She is going to watch the labor reports. We have been on fire. She is going to be watching our credit, how much that we are taking on, growth of wages and all of those factors. It will be very methodical. Savings accounts, they play a role in this at all today . They are bad enough, it is like. 078 . Do i need one . It is a safe way to lose money. Right now, the fixed income rate is extremely low. It is really contentious on inflation. Thank you, george.
