Welcome to Home & Away. Lots to report and reflect on. Here at Home, I will start with the Republican presidential debate. This second gathering of the presidential hopefuls was only slightly smaller than the first (former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson did not make the cut) but like the previous one did not include the frontrunner, Donald Trump. There was a greater willingness on the part of some to criticize the former president, but all in all it was a case of too little too late.
