TiVo Announces Paul Correcting Trump on China as the Top Watched Moment of Last Night's Presidential Debate San Jose, CA Nov. 11, 2015 TiVo Research and Analytics, a subsidiary of TiVo Inc., today announced the top moments from last night's Republican Presidential primary candidate debate aired on Fox Business Network and co-hosted with Wall Street Journal. Held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the debate focused on key issues in America including foreign policy and the economy. However, the top moment was when Paul corrected Trump on his statement about China's role in the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), saying China's not part of this deal. Continued analysis of more than 30,000 anonymous households across the United States allows TiVo to analyze what Americans most re-watched during the debate between the current Republican candidates including Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump.
Here are the top moments from the event:
TiVo Top Moments of the 2015 Fox Business Network & Wall Street Journal Republican Presidential Debate
#1 - Paul: "We might want to point out China s not a part of this deal."
10:12 p.m. - After Trump responded to a question about the TPP with a condemnation of China s role in the world economy, Paul chimed in with the fact that China is not, in fact, part of the TPP.
#2 - Trump: "It s something where the Democrats and the Republicans both agree--it s the only thing I can think of.
11:02 p.m. - Trump responded to Cavuto s question about his plans to get companies to bring money they have parked overseas back to the U.S. by pointing out that both parties desperately want the same thing. Where previous plans to keep corporate money in America have failed, Trump promised his plan would cause money to "pour back in to the United States."
#3 - Trump: We cannot let Hillary Clinton, who is the worst secretary of state in the history of our country, win this election.
11:16 p.m. - Trump's closing statement touched on plenty of sound bites including his personal success, campaign funding, and putting up a strong fight to win the election. His jab at Clinton managed to pique viewer interest.
#4 - Bartiromo: "If [Clinton] is indeed the nominee, you will be facing a candidate with an impressive resume."
10:58 p.m. - Bartiromo asked why the country should trust Rubio over Clinton, a woman who has been closer to the office of the President. When Bartiromo stated that Clinton had an "impressive resume," it elicited boos from the audience.
#5 - Rubio: "So tonight, I ask you for your vote and I ask you to join us at my website, marcorubio.com."
11:15 p.m. - Rubio s impassioned speech about wanting to "reach more people and change more lives than ever before" ended with a plug for his website. He managed to charm the audience into applause. Even Bartiromo commented, "He s funny." Trump referenced Rubio s plug in his closing statement, saying "I don t have to give you a website because I m self-funding my campaign."
The Republican candidates and debate moderators alike tried to keep this a policy-driven debate, stated Jonathan Steuer, Chief Research Officer at TiVo. "However, Trump dominated the debate's top moments, engaging audience attention with broad comments about his plans for America."
