SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwired - Aug 7, 2015) - TiVo Research and Analytics, a subsidiary of TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO), today announced the top moments from last nights prime-time Republican Presidential candidate debate. While it was highly anticipated that Donald Trump would have a lot to say, it was his closing statement after more than two hours of debate that caught Americas attention the most.
The analysis of over 30,000 anonymous households across the United Sates allowed TiVo to capture what resonated most with Americans during the at-times heated banter among the Republican Presidential hopefuls, including Donald Trump, Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Chris Christie and John Kasich.
Here are the top moments from the event.
TiVo Top Moments of 2015 Prime-Time Republican Presidential Candidate Debate
#1 - Trumps closing statement
11:04 p.m.: Our country is in serious trouble. We dont win anymore. We dont beat China in trade. We dont beat Japan with their millions and millions of cars coming into this country in trade. We cant beat Mexico at the border or in trade. We cant do anything right. Our military has to be strengthened; our Vets have to be taken care of. We have to end Obamacare and we have to make our country great again, and I will do that. Thank you.
#2 - When did you actually become a Republican?
10:26 p.m.: Megyn Kelly points out that Trump has changed his position on key issues, such as abortion and assault weapon bans, in recent years. The crowd erupts into applause when she follows up by asking, When did you actually become a Republican?
#3 - Governor Huckabees closing statement
11:01 p.m.: Governor Huckabees closing statement asserts: It seems like this election has been a whole lot about a person who is very high in the polls, who doesnt have a clue how to govern, a person who has been filled with scandals and who could not lead. And of course Im talking about Hillary Clinton.
#4 - Youre having a hard time tonight.
9:26 p.m.: Paul accuses Trump of advocating a single-payer health care system. Trump retorts with an insult: I dont think you heard me. Youre having a hard time tonight.
#5 - Walker responds on Russia
10:41 p.m.: Answering Bret Baiers question about how he would respond if Russia started a campaign to destabilize NATO allies, Scott Walker responds: Well first off, for the cyber-attack with Russia the other day, its sad to think right now, but probably the Russian and Chinese government know more about Hillary Clintons e-mail server than do the members of the United States Congress.
#6 - Governor Huckabee responds on the US deal with Iran
10:17 p.m.: Governor Huckabee, in response to a question on the U.S. deal with Iran: Ronald Reagan said trust, but verify. President Obama is trust, but vilify. He trusts our enemies and vilifies everyone who disagrees with him. And the reason we disagree with him has nothing to do with party. It has to do with the incredibly dangerous place that this world is gonna be as a result of a deal in which we got nothing. We didnt even get four hostages out. We got nothing, and Iran gets everything they want.
#7 - God has blessed us.
10:53 p.m.: Senator Rubio, in response to a question on hearing the word of God and what hell do to help veterans. Well, first, let me say I think God has blessed us. He has blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates. The Democrats cant even find one.
#8 - Bush comments on education
9:52 p.m.: Bret Baier gives Bush the chance to defend his position in support of Common Core education, and Bush takes the bait, passionately defending his belief that education choices should still be made at the state level: I dont believe the federal government should be involved in the creation of standards, directly or indirectly, the creation of curriculum or content. It is clearly a state responsibility.
#9 - Christie disagrees with Paul on cutting foreign aid
10:46 p.m.: Christie describes his approach to expanding the military and why Pauls proposals to cut foreign aid are wrongheaded: I dont disagree with Senator Pauls position that we shouldnt be funding our enemies, but I absolutely believe that Israel is a priority to be able to fund and keep them strong and safe after eight years of this administration.
#10 - An impassioned speech from Kasich
10:01 p.m.: Responding to Chris Wallaces question about how he will face off with Hillary Clinton, Kasich wraps up an impassioned speech about how the winning nominee must balance economic growth with helping people living in the shadows: America is a miracle country, and we have to restore the sense that the miracle will apply to you. Each and every one of the people in this country who is watching tonight -- lift everybody, unite everybody, and build a stronger United States of America again. It will be and can be done.
With a record number of people running for our nations top office, this debate is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting election, said Frank Foster, Senior Vice President and General Manager of TiVo Research.
