Recapping the GOP Presidential Debate

The Takeaway

Last night, eight GOP presidential hopefuls gathered at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California  for the fourth Republican debate  this year. It was the first presidential debate for Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who was in the lead in a recent poll. Perry and Romney sparred over their job creation records and other issues, often overshadowing the six other candidates. Todd Zwillich,  Takeaway Washington correspondent, and  Republican political strategist  Ron Christie,  CEO of Christie Strategies and former special assistant to President George W. Bush, recap last night’s events.
