So many of these republican candidates are trying to use this debate to jumpstart their own candidacies. Theyre doing their own strategies to go after the frontrunner donald trump. But its a perilous task. Should they go after him forcefully or should they let him implode on his own . Thats what Republican Leaders believe and hope he will do ultima ultimately. There is no sign of that. He is leading this race the frontrunner. Center stage on wednesday night. Jeff zeleny, cnn, california. Reagans name is expected to come up a lot during wednesdays Republican Debate. Its being held at the Ronald Reagan president ial library. They might just disagree with the stance on immigration. In 1986 reagan signed a sweeping Immigration Reform bill into law. The immigration n. And control act beefed up Border Security and added strict penalties for employers who knowingly hired undocumented workers. But it also granted amnesty to nearly 3 million Illegal Immigrants then in the u. S. Something no current republican candidate supports. Its not just immigration. President reagan closed tax loopholes in his own words made it possible for millionaires to pay nothing. He successfully pushed for an assault weapons band, signed a law which stops hospitals to give he doubled the size of medicare. And he talked to americas enemies, the soviet union, to reduce the stockpile of Nuclear Weapons. Would he will conservative enough for Todays Republican Party . What would he think of the mud slinging . One of our political commentators joins us from new york. Tara, we can talk about this stuff for days. I guess what id like to speak to you about is the tone and the nasty way this primary is playing out and the negativity, especially from donald trump, what would reagan think . I think that president reagan would be appalled at the turn that the campaign has taken this summer by the entry of donald trump and antics which are classless. President reagan was honorable and a gentlemen. He was not approved of the kind of disrespect that donald trump has brought really to the office of the presidency that he is seeking by behaving this way. Hes behaving like a reality shore Jerry Springer ca eer cha this is what trump wrote about reagan in his book the art of the deal. You cant con people at least not for long. You can do wond pul pro pegs and gets press and throw in hyperly. If you dont deliver the goods people will catch on. Reagan is so smooth and so effective a performer that completely won over the American People. Only now nearly seven years later, are people beginning to question whether theres anything beneath that smile. Are republicans able to say mean things about president reagan . I think some would argue that donald trump is not a republican. Hes a republican now because its expedient to him. He doesnt hold very conservative values. This whole thing about how comparison between donald trump and Ronald Reagan is asinine. Theres nothing about them similar other than they both came from the entertainment industry. For donald trump to now all of a sudden invoke reagan and im going to make America Great again which is something reagan said in 1980 i think is shrewd politics and political expedient because Ronald Reagan is the standard bearer of modern day conservatism. I think its ironic that donald trump is trying to align himself with someone who he threw an insult at right there in his own words in his book. After last night when i had a mani pedi, i kicked back to watch the miss america pageant. I think donald trump is an entertainer. I think he says whats on a lot of peoples minds. But i think the Republican Party should be absolutely terrified of all the attention that he is taking from incredible candidates like jeb bush and Chris Christie who would absolutely do the job of president of the United States. And if i were a republican i would absolutely be terrified of that. Thank you. Thank you so much. The wisdom of fourth running up miss alabama and ill throw a question to you. Should the Republican Party be terrified right now . I dont know if its that its terrified. I think it should be a wakeup call. It really should. For the people in washington and what theyve been doing and the lack of leadership and disappointment the American People who voted these folks in in a wave election, you know, the American People came out. They voted in republicans because they were upset with the disaster of the Obama Administration and what the democrats have done and in power and what is the Republican Leadership done . Theyve rolled over. They havent stood. For anything. They have not lived up to any of the promises that got them elected. When it comes down to brass tax and time to vote and who is going to be the best person to be the commander in chief, do we really as americans want donald trump there occupying that . I dont think so. I hope not. We will find out. That terrifies me. Appreciate it. Thank you. Any time. And lets check out the days other political headlines. Republican jeb bush has released a new campaign ad and, once again, he is speaking spanish. The ad celebrates hispanic heritage month and features his wife who was born in mexico.

Ben carson is concerned about the u. S. Accepting refugees from the war in syria. The retired neurosurgeon tells cnn the u. S. Needs to do a better job of screening people before letting them into the country.

Thats 11 00 p. M. In lon on the. 6 00 a. M. Thursday in hong kong. Only here on cnn. Did you see that reception Bernie Sanders got i . Amazing. There is politics to report in australia. The country has a new Prime Minister. Former Communications MinisterMalcolm Turnbull was sworn in just a few moments ago. Turnbull says the government has not been successful in providing Economic Leadership australia needs and many expect he will be more liberal on social issues. He is a part of what abbott had to say in his final remarks as Prime Minister. The great privilege that i have had is to see the wonder of this country like few others. And i want to thank the australian people for giving me the honor to serve. Yes, this is a tough day but when you join the game, you accept the rules. Ive held true to what ive believed and im proud of what we have achieved over the past two years. Really if you listen, listening to the radio, the talk back radio played in australia when i woke up this morning, a lot of blowback not only supported tony abbott but quite angry about this revolving door of leaders that theyve had. Five Prime Ministers in five years. And the joke now is that australia is becoming the italy of the south pacific. There is a real desire in that country or demand for stable leadership. The problem is there wasnt a lot of support for tony abbott early on in his leadership. Most unpopular Prime Minister in a very long time. Yeah. There is a lot of support formal come turnbull but not elected by the people. Thats how t system works. Thats the westminster system. The party elects the people and people elect the party. The party wants to change the leader because things are not going well. Normal process. Checks and balances. The problem Malcolm Turnbull is going to face, progressive on social issues. A lot of support because he is pro marriage equality, he wants to take action on Climate Change me lost the Party Leadership six years ago because on the issue of Climate Change and the emissions scheme. And pro for republican of australia but his own party dont like those positions. Lets go to asia pacific editor Andrew Stevens live in hong kong at this hour. First job for turnbull is trying to unite a divided government. Is he expected to face blowback from abbott supporters . If you read to chat about what he has to do, that unification of the party is number one on the agenda. We saw from that acceptance speech, if you like yesterday, john, that that was a very, very important point for him. Talked about collaborative government, talked about including the cabinet and all the decisions oldfashioned l n liberal government for people who dont know us australia january politics. Liberal is the conservative wing. He was talking about a very inclusive approach to it. But youre right. I mean, there is a very strong right wing in this in this party who have not liked Malcolm Turnbull because of his social policies in particular which is action on Climate Change and on gay marriage. He does have to bring those together. But the bigger picture, oskf course, is electability. Politicians will put up with a lot if hes on the winning side. He is more electable. The party thinks hes more electable than tony abbott. Theyve got until january 2017 before they have to got to the polls. Some people think he may go earlier. About 30 within that coalition who were a bit nervous about their jobs and thought it was better that abbott lose his than they lose theirs. Talk about the big picture. Two Prime Ministers ousted in their first terms. Hasnt happened in australia since world war ii. What is behind this instability . Good question. The parties have both parties come out of touch with voters . Its the back room deals. Malcolm turnbull won in a back room deal essentially. He got the numbers. He got the job as julia did before him. Gilliard pretty much she says hounded out of office and so on. Massive instability at the top which has been revolting to most ordinary australian voters and for good reason, john. Its difficult to see why such a successful economy, this is an xi that hasnt had a recession in 24 years. It is a stable country. Why there has been so many changes of leadership at the top . I mean, as you say, ive heard that word italy as well. Thats a very damning indictment on australian politics. The people will want to see a leader who goes through full term at least, getting back to the not of too distant past. And tony abbott i guess was a special case as youve been pointing out. He failed in the polls. He was below the opposition ranking in the polls for a long time. 60 months some would say. 60 months, sort of 16, 18 monlt months. He was not making any headway in the polls. He was unelectable. The party did what it thinks it had to do. Leaves a bad taste in most australians mouths. Its been a revolving door of leadership. People are growing tired of and, as you said, hoping for a period of stability. Andrew, thank you for that. Live for us in hong kong. And there are reports north korea plans for longrange missiles.
