Republican candidates debate on Thursday night to show one point that they all agreed on that the U.S. was dealing with an extreme existential risk from Islamist jihad. President Barack Obama said on 12th January, the IS became “not an existential danger’ to the U.S. however the Republican aspirants rejected the argument.

Frontrunners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz attacked each other with ferocity unseen until now, in advance of the Iowa caucuses on February 1 with which the candidate choice manner will formally begin.
