It s was the GOP's eighth presidential candidates' debate and the fifth just since Labor Day, full of shouting, interruptions and personal acrimony. As state parties battle over where the voting should start, what's happening to the Republican Party?

To the Point
Is the Republican Party Losing Its Cool? During last night's debate, Newt Gingrich warned other presidential candidates against bickering as a way to get to the White House. But bicker they did, with yelling, interruptions and charges of lying and "hypocrisy." Attacks on President Obama were almost an afterthought. Last night's Las Vegas audience cheered some and booed others, but sober observers are asking, "Is this good for the Party?" In the meantime, New Hampshire and Nevada are battling over which state should go first, and there could be some voting as soon as December.

Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey’s truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we’ll go behind the “velvet rope” for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.

Is the threat from Russia missing from the Russia meddling probe? There's much being made about the Trump administration's possible ties with Russia. But the bottom line is Russia's effort to influence American democracy. Do the President and his aides care enough to take action before voters go back to the polls?
