This figure is based on text analysis of the first Fox News Republican presidential primary debate conducted on August 6th 2015. The nodes in the network include the ten Republican candidates who took part in the main GOP debate (in red), the three moderators (in gray) and the Democratic candidates (in blue). The ties in the network are based on number of explicit mentions. The more times a candidate or moderator said someone's name, the thicker the arrow that connects them would be in the figure.
