It is now set; the candidates have been named on who will participate in the first Republican presidential debate for president in 2016.

Yesterday evening, Fox News the sponsor of the debate announced the lineup will consist of 10 candidates from an average of five recent national polls will be:

Real estate magnate Donald Trump; former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush; Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker; former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee; retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson; Texas Sen. Ted Cruz; Florida Sen. Marco Rubio; Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul; New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie; and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

The other candidates who didn’t make the top ten will have a separate debate earlier in the evening on Thursday and they will be:

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, Business Woman Carly Fiorina, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, and finally former New York Gov. George Pataki.

Now that the candidates are set, the question will be who will standout and who will stumble out of the gate. Will Donald Trump bring his fiery rhetoric or will he confine himself to what serious policy proposals he would implement if he becomes president?

How will Jeb Bush perform when he will be right next to Trump on the stand, will he attack or confine himself to the difference in policies from Trump and the other candidates?

The other questions will all the candidates discuss the serious issues plaguing this country, such as how to jump start the struggling U.S. economy, how to ensure Americans have access to quality jobs, how to help small businesses across this country who are reeling from the polices of Washington.
Finally, how will each of these candidates address the challenges posed by ISIS, Iran, conflicts throughout the Middle East, a resurgent Russia and an expansionist China?

The American people want answers and not campaign rhetoric.
