Debate shows how strong the GOP field is this year

James Campbell, professor of political science, was interviewed on SiriusXM Radio’s The Midday Briefing with Tim Farley for a story on last night’s GOP debate. Campbell says the debate showed that the Republicans have a strong field of candidates this year and the likely effect of the debate is to level off some of the polling differences. He also said Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Mike Huckabee helped themselves the most, while Donald Trump had his moments, but was on the defensive and testy at other times.
