Veteran strategists and political operators, David Axelrod and Newt Gingrich join the program.

According to Axelrod, none of the candidates broke character or broke down. The man behind both of President Obama’s successful presidential bids, credits the Fox moderators for fostering a quality discussion.

“They acquitted themselves very well. The moderator’s questions were well researched. Fox News did well.”
