#IowaDebate – GOP Candidates Looking To ‘Close The Deal’ in Iowa Debate – Politisite Team Debate Coverage
This is it. The Republican presidential candidates will have one last chance on the national stage Thursday night to make their case to voters before the frantic season of caucuses and primaries gets underway.
