GOP Candidates Debate Security and Foreign Policy

The Takeaway

The GOP presidential candidates  discussed foreign policy and national security  during yet another  debate  on Tuesday night. The candidates attempted to subtle distinctions between each other in policies on Afghanistan, Pakistan,  the  Patriot Act, Iran, and Israel. Newt Gingrich, the current front runner, made waves when he suggested the party should not adopt an  immigration policy  that “destroys families that have been here a quarter-century.” Todd Zwillich, The Takeaway’s Washington correspondent, and  Ron Christie, Republican political strategist, CEO of Christie Strategies, and former special assistant to President George W. Bush, give their analysis of last night’s debate.
