Thats where fox fives rachel moore is live with democrats reaction to the debate. About three dozen voters watched inside and throughout the debate you could tell when they paid close attention to whenever a candidate mentioned Hillary Clinton as well as when they talked about National Security a major issue on the minds of voters right now. Neal matzkin, democratic voter i think that the biggest problem is that they think everything is very simplistic. Simply put, las vegas democrats were less than impressed with the republican president ial candidates who took the stage at tuesdays debate. Inside the nevada state democratic watch party, the some laughs, played a little gop debate bingo, and scoffed at most of the answers the candidates gave. Roberta lange, chair, nevada state Democratic Party i would like them to just have a substantive discussion. I think were all interested in the same types of things. Theres is more rhetoric. Ours is more content. These voters are particularly concerned with some of the plans the candidates vowed to implement if elected. Jacqueline johnson is a retired nurse, and is disturbed by the fact that all of the republican candidates want repeal the Affordable Care act. It really bothers me that these people come in week after week trying to vote it out. They have no idea. They have no understanding of what theyre doing if theyre done with the Affordable Care act. But what seemed to be the main the topic of discussion in the debate and in the watch party was National Security. Many of these voters say frontrunner Donald Trumps promise to temporarily ban nonamerican muslims from the country is ridiculous. Andres ramirez, voter its very obvious that these republican candidates are still focused on policies in creating fear among americans by alienating immigrants, by alienating people who live in this country.

This is fox5 news at 10. Local. Las vegas. Here at the venetian the crowds are on their way out heres a live look our lvacs camera. Lets go now to Elizabeth Watts. She is live in the studio with some local news for us tonight. A Clark County School district employee is arrested accused of committing sex acts at school involving a teachers property. Fox5s Miguel Martinez valle joins us live in the newsroom with the details. The investigation that led to 42 yearold custodian michael skeltons arrest monday night started last week, after a teacher reported finding a wet substance on her personal items. Clark County SchoolDistrict Police followed up that report which ended with skelton in jail. Michael skelton was arrested monday night after being accused of committing sex acts at a las vegas school. This including leaving a wet substance on a teachers personal items, like her clothes and her lip balm. The teacher, from Harvey N Dondero elementary school, had wet substance on her things to police before. Skelton is now being charged with poisoning or adulterating food, water or medicine, open and gross lewdness, and malicious destruction of property. Its something that really concerns me, that we have people around our kids that are acting like that. Skelton had worked as a floating overnight custodian for the School District for about 18 years, this meaning he moved from school to school around clark county. While officials are saying the lewd acts happened after school hours and he was alone in the classroom at the time the acts were commited, some concerned parents are asking how someone who would behave like that would even be hired into the School District to begin with. I think they have to put more attention on when they hire new people for the schools, they need to check the background and all for the people. I think that clark county has to really get involved on the backgrounds for people that they hire, because i know this is not the first time that a quick search of skeltons criminal record came up blank, which is likely what the School District would have seen when they hired him. A spokesperson from the School District told fox5 all district employees, excluding ccsd police, go through the same metro Police Background check. As of now, skelton is listed as absent without authorized leave at work. Hes currently being held at the clark county detention center. The School District told us that hell be placed on suspension without pay as soon as hes released from the detention center. Miguel martinez valle, fox5 news, local las vegas. School District Police stressed that skelton commited these acts long after students left the school. Classes were cancelled for nearly 700 thousand students in the los angeles unified School District. After receiving an emailed threat. More than 900 schools were closed the threat sent from overseas was received by a School Board Member. The l. A. Police chief says the threat was very specific. And they refused to take authorities said they received a similar threat. Here in clark county. The School District says it is constantly updating its security measures to keep students safe. Ccsd preparing for possible threats and emergencies by making a Crisis Response plan and making sure staff is trained to detect and respond to the threats. Capt. Young we never say that it couldnt happen here. Our motto is to prepare for anything that does occur. We are always anticipating that we could receive this type of a threat and we prepare accordingly ccsd also has an automated messaging system that allows School Officials to get information to parents quickly and put out a Community Alert for the larger public.

Fox5s ophelia with what those amongst the audience in the venetian theater thought. We asked who came out on top it seemed an overwhelmingly number of people were pleased with marco rubio 2nd place was a mix. I think marco rubio continues to show that hes got the best overall message among hispanics among generational voters among young people. I think jeb bush did an unbelievable job we call him a cat becase we got 9 lives this was his last chance he did and unbelievable job he had some great responses he talked about how serious he is as a candidate rubio no questions. I think rubio made it clear that he should be our next candidate and i think that chisty did a fabulous job i came here with an open mind but i was really impressed by marco rubio and his whole stance on everything. Well i think marco rubio did a great job i think jeb was more comfortable this time than hes been in the past he has some really really strong statements to make i think a few others had great responses christy. When asked about trump some actually thought he wasnt as out of line as they expected. Then who was the most offensive we got rand paul for a few responses. We also asked them if they thought cnn asked the right questions reaction was mixed with some who had hoped for a broader range of topics. One thing everyone agreed on it was an entertaining debate. Right after the debate i was able to get a oneon one interview with president ial candidate Carly Fiorina. She expressed the importance of winning a state like nevada and why we stand out to all the contenders. In nevada, we saw the democratic debate here. We saw the Republican Debate tonight. And next year were getting another debate, the final president ial debate. How important is nevada overall to this election . The fourth state, its a very diverse state. So it represents america in a different way then say iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina. Nevada is a large diverse state. And its fourth, so its really important. Fiorina isnt the only candidate i spoke with. Coming up at 11. Hear what president ial hopeful dr. Ben carson had to say about nevada. We spoke to jacob thompson, who coaches unlvs Award Winning debate team, on how he thought the candidates did. Bushs attack on trump was the standout moment of the debate to me. Bush going on the offensive for the first time, in an attempt to revive a faltering candidacy. And if nothing else, even if these attacks dont help bush, they will help trump. Thompson says he marco rubio, and Chris Christie all came off well. While ben carson and Carly Fiorina did not leave a strong impression on him. Earlier tonight. The bottom four candidates in the polls took part in the undercard debate. Participating in that debate South Carolina senator lindsey graham, former pennsylvania senator rick santorum, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and former new york governor george pataki. Some of the hot topics terrorism. And women in the military. If they dont have that ability to do the job and were doing a social promotion as oppose to whats good for the fighting force and for the will change that policy. Butt to this is america and we have made enormous progress and i dont care if youre a man or a woman. I care if youre good and capable of doing the job. In just seven weeks the 2016 nominating race gets underway at the iowa caucuses. Nevada is a swing state for multiple reasons. Rural counties and those in northern nevada have traditionally been more conservative. While Southern Nevada voters tend to be more liberal. Take a look at how the parties break down in clark county. Nearly 357 thousand voters are registered as democrat. Thats about 100 thousand more number, nearly 170thousand people dont affiliate themselves with any party. And nearly 49 thousand are in the other category. We wanted to see how these numbers may have changed over the past six months. As the caucus process requires you to be a member of the party you caucus for. The numbers only changed slightly, and that may be for a variety of reasons. The democrats have gained a few thousand registrants, and so have republicans. But the same can be said for nonpartisan voters. Which has also increased by more than 5 thousand. These numbers, again, for a variety of reasons, including active voters becoming inactive and the reverse. The total number of active voters in clark county is more than 832 thousand people. When it comes to active voters, make primary voting even more challenging. Caucuses are scheduled for february. The democratic february 20th, a saturday, followed by the on tuesday, february 23rd. So what is a caucus . At the caucus, delegates are chosen to represent the states interests at the National Party convention. Prospective delegates are identified as favorable to a specific candidate or uncommitted. After discussion and debate an informal vote is taken to determine which delegates should be chosen. The price for candidates to file and even be considered in the caucus is also substantial, and they have to pay that in every state where they want to be considered. In nevada, that fee to the gop is 12 thousand500 governor brian governor Brian Sandovals name has been mentioned as a potential Vice President ial candidate. We caught up with the governor. And asked him about the possiblity of the position. laughs oh no, i love my job. I am the most blessed man in the world to be able to serve as the governor of this great state. Governor sandoval has yet to official endorse a candidate for president. Governor sandoval tweeting out tonight that he has signed the proclaimation convening a special session of the nevada legislature.
