Second Gop debate

Here's what I've been reading ahead of the second Republican debate

First Read: What Has Changed Heading Into the Second GOP Debate

Summary of where we are and what's changed from the first debate

Jeb Bush vows to come out swinging in next U.S. Republican debate

Can't help but think that this is a high-risk strategy for a man who seems to struggle with debates. Swinging at Trump could badly backfire

Showdown Between Carly Fiorina and Donald Trump Expected at Republican Debate

With Donald Trump on the card, CNN eagerly awaits Round 2 of the GOP 'bout'

CNN is expecting its biggest audience ever. And we all know who's responsible....

So the upshot is that the last TV debate made little difference to the state of play.

Donald Trump vs. the Party: Why He's Still Such a Long Shot

Ultimately Donald Trump's candidacy is a test of how much political elites still control the nomination

The GOP debate: 5 things to watch

This debate will be an hour longer than the first one: That means hydration strategies and toilet breaks
