Last week, U.S. officials announced new steps for a strategic "pivot" to Asia and the Pacific that included plans to deploy 2,500 troops to a base in Australia's northwest outback and "unprecedented" initiatives to build alliances and agreements across the region. How much of this has to do with China? Should the U.S. move even more troops to the Asia-Pacific region? Or, should there be an entirely new Pacific realignment? Beyond rhetoric, what else will be required for the U.S. to make this pivot?

On Nov. 12, National Journal and CBS News are hosting a Republican primary debate focusing on national security and foreign policy. What should the moderators ask the GOP presidential candidates? How would you rate the contenders' performances on national security and foreign-policy issues during their respective campaigns? In judging the candidates' fitness for the presidency, how important is experience in these issues? In your opinion, is there one candidate who's emerging as the best nominee, based on foreign-policy and national-security issues alone? Please weigh in on these or any related topics.
