CBS Republican Debate: Live Coverage

This Trump performance has been … Trumpian. Was this his strategy?

One more thing on Trump. People seem to think he’s invincible and … um, well, maybe they have a point? But he was punished a bit by voters for his angry and somewhat uneven performances during the first two Republican debates, each of which slightly (although temporarily) lowered his numbers in national polls.

An analysis by the Tampa Bay Tribune’s political director went point by point through Jeb Bush’s legacy as governor of Florida. Among the points it explores: how impressive Bush’s job creation numbers were (no better than the four preceding Florida governors’) and a rise in debt during his tenure from $15 billion to $23 billion.
