Last night on the Fox Business Channel, nine lucky Republican Presidential candidates gathered to in South Carolina for a debate in hopes of taking down Donald Trump.
So, on today’s BradCast, we try to make some sense of it all. Wish us luck!
I’m joined today by our returning champions, Heather Digby Parton of Salon and Digby’s Hullabaloo blog and Fred Karger, former longtime GOP political consultant and 2012 GOP Presidential candidate (the first openly gay candidate from either major party).
And, of course, we offer you some of the smartest (and, occasionally, snarkiest) post-debate analysis and insight you’ll find anywhere, as Trump and Cruz (and a few other folks) face off just two weeks before the first votes of 2016 are finally cast and, maybe, counted in Iowa…

It was not exactly a secret that President James Buchanan was, in today’s terminology, obviously a gay man. He was basically a widower in office, his life partner Senator William Rufus King having passed away before Buchanan made it to the White House.
