A veteran GOP strategist with decades of presidential campaign experience says that there's a lot on the line for the Republican White House contenders who will take the stage Wednesday at the second primary debate.

The debate, which will be held at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, will be televised on the FOX Business Network (FBN) and UNIVISION from 9-11pm ET on Wednesday.
