In what will be the first debate since the Paris attacks in November, and the last one of 2015, nine leading GOP candidates will take the stage for the main debate tonight on CNN. Candidates are expected to discuss foreign policy and their proposed responses to global terrorism. All eyes are on Donald Trump and Ted Cruz's seemingly amicable relationship.

NPR's lead political editor Domenico Montanaro joins Here & Now's Eric Westervelt to see what to expect.
