• Music Times Matches Republican Debate Candidates (Trump et al) with Opening Acts

    The Republican Debates will air tonight on FOX, and many will be tuning in to hear what Donald Trump will say...versus actually trying to educate themselves on who the best candidate for the right side of the aisle might be.

Check out our reasoning below, with the candidates ordered just as FOX has them ranked heading into the big event.

    Rand Paul has announced his candidacy for president during the 2016 election, making him the second member of the Republican Party to throw his name into the ring.

On Tuesday (April 7), the GOP candidate for Commander-in-Chief released a campaign video featuring the John Rich song "Shuttin' Down Detroit," and the uncleared song automatically got pulled from YouTube.
