morning from Washington as Cleveland bustles with preparations for the first debates of the 2016 election season. Fox News moderators are looking to keep the top 10 candidates on their toes as they wrangle in prime-time, while the seven other candidates will have their say hours earlier. For each group, the preseason is over. The stage is set. The lights are ready. The candidates have crammed. And the political world is counting down the clock. The heavily hyped, first sanctioned Republican presidential debate will air at 9 p.m., co-hosted by Fox News and Facebook. The selection process for which 10 candidates would make the stage was executed with all the buildup of an episode of “The Apprentice,” the reality television show that Donald J. Trump helped create. The main question for Thursday night is whether the debate, too, will seem like an episode of “The Apprentice,” with the candidates ringed around Mr. Trump, who, as the front-runner in the polls, will be at the center podium. The candidates who have all been drowned out by the deluge of Trump news in the last two months will do whatever they can to break through. Mr. Trump is one of two men to watch closely. The other is Jeb Bush, who stumbled Tuesday on a question about Planned Parenthood before a culturally conservative audience and who will have to soothe the jitters among his supporters about his performance over the long term. As for the candidates who only just made it in, the debate offers Gov. John R. Kasich of Ohio the chance to introduce himself, while Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey, who was praised for his web video criticizing Hillary Rodham Clinton this week, can use his minutes to remind people of his moxie as a fighter.</div> </div> <div class="hide-from-wordpress hide-from-text-version" style="text-align: center; color: #999; font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; padding-bottom: 10px;"> View <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=InCMR7g4BCLMQnpkk5MvplGHjZHVWFYy37Fha1nkmwg=&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61301&segment_id=75685&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329">First Draft</a> on the web | Add <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> to your address book </div> <div id="hed" class="hide-from-wordpress" style="border-top: 3px solid #000; padding: 5px 0 15px;"> <div class="desktop-display-date hide-from-text-version"> <table width="100%"> <tr> <td style="font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align:left;">8/6/2015</td> <td style="font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align:right;"> <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=InCMR7g4BCLMQnpkk5MvplGHjZHVWFYy37Fha1nkmwg=&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61301&segment_id=75685&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329">nytimes.com/firstdraft »</a> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="branding" class="branding hide-from-text-version" style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=InCMR7g4BCLMQnpkk5MvplGHjZHVWFYy37Fha1nkmwg=&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61301&segment_id=75685&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/images/nytint/projects/firstdraft/email-logo-260x75-2x.png" width="260" height="75" border="0" alt="First Draft"></a> </div> </div> <!-- end #hed --> <!--[if gte mso 12]> <div style="font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;"> </div> <![endif]--> <div id="photo1" class="section photo" style="border-top: 1px solid #000; clear: both; padding: 20px 0; text-align: left;"> <div> <h2 style="font-family: nyt-franklin, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 18px; margin: 0 0 10px 0;"><a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=4z5Q7LhI+KVBjmEgFdYACKQh1JEPAsZdfyc9wlrSq35yzYtU4heo62Iq8M/MIr5y&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61301&segment_id=75685&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329" style="text-decoration:none; color:#000;">Republicans Gather Under the Lights to Talk Amongst Themselves</a></h2> <center> <a href="http://p.nytimes.com/email/re?location=4z5Q7LhI+KVBjmEgFdYACKQh1JEPAsZdfyc9wlrSq35yzYtU4heo62Iq8M/MIr5y&campaign_id=7779&instance_id=61301&segment_id=75685&user_id=30a142167a399d9be2c1b7c32e192bd2®i_id=63304329"><img src="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2015/08/05/us/politics/05firstdraft-newsletter/05firstdraft-newsletter-jumbo.jpg" style="max-width:100%; height: auto; background-color: #ccc; margin: 0 auto; border-style:none" width="600"></a> <p class="caption" style="font-family:georgia,times,serif; margin: 10px 0 15px 0; color: #777; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; max-width: 600px; text-align: left;">A lectern during a walk-through in Cleveland for the first Republican presidential debate of the election season.
