Detroit Free Press - "Little focus on Flint water crisis during GOP debate"

[TomCADem]

I have to say that I like both of our candidates far better than any Republican candidate. Heck, Rubio actually praised the Governor's handling of the crisis.

he Republican candidates for President addressed a wide variety of topics during their last debate before the Iowa caucuses on Monday.

But one of the biggest domestic issues — Flint's water crisis — got little attention during the Fox News debate in Des Moines, Iowa.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich was the only candidate to get a question on the Flint water issue. He was asked how he would have handled the crisis had it happened in Ohio.

Unlike Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, who have been highly critical of Gov. Rick Snyder's handling of the lead contamination of Flint's water, Kasich declined to bash his Republican colleague to the north.

The lack of Republican discussion over the crisis on Thursday night stood in stark contrast to the last two Democratic debates. Clinton brought up the matter at the end of Jan. 17 debate.
