Fox News will be broadcasting two "debates" (is the other one a debate?) today, a kiddie table debate (or forum?) and a grownups debate.  The former will take place at 5pm Eastern and last for one hour, while the latter will take place at 9pm Eastern and last for two hours.

Ten Republican candidates will participate in the 9pm debate:

Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie, and John Kasich

Here is what we know of the format:

So Cute !.......

For the Debate coming up in a few hours, I'm rooting for John Kasich. I support him.. so.

Who do you guys think will be the Positive, Hope and Change Guy ? AKA not attacking Donald Trump.

Rubio will try that message but he'll come off a bland and stale if he's anything like how he was at the Forum, which I think he will be.

Paul will also do this and will pick up some moderate Republicans.

Kasich and Walker will probably do this tactic best by touting their successful records as Governors without having to be associated with a political dynasty that Bush is.

"Kill, trump, kill!" Sorry, a little pro-wrestling humor. I can't wait for tonight's debate. Feel like I want to vomit but I can't miss the main show tonight. Hopefully the candidates will go at one another.

Could someone tell me what time the main debate is, CST?

I really want to see Walker and Trump at this, while Kasich is the one I expect to seem presidential. Bush needs to re-gain stability after his... performance at the New Hampshire forum.

85% of those voting in the Fox poll, said Carly won the debate. Amazing really. I am not sure I have ever seen such a one sided vote about a debate.

This game for a two hour Republican debate would lead to alcohol poisoning.

Time to find out whether 10 people in one debate is too many.

Useless, obvious statements in the Fox news 'last few minutes' panel.

Is it just me, or does it seem really tacky to have pundits bloviate about the candidates immediately before the debate in front of the audience?
