Republican Presidential Debate: Live Coverage

We’ve been tracking how many times the candidates have attacked each other. So far, this has been a fairly cordial debate (possibly because the moderators have been receiving a lot of the candidates’ ire). Last debate, the GOP candidate attacked the most was Trump at 21 mentions. So far in this debate, Trump is still in the lead for the GOP but with only two attacks, while Hillary Clinton has been attacked seven times.

The Tax Foundation actually finds that under Jeb Bush’s tax plan, the biggest tax cuts will go to the wealthiest Americans. Ditto for Donald Trump’s plan. That isn’t just true in dollar terms but also in percentage terms. Their plans would eliminate taxes like the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax that primarily affect the wealthy. CORRECTION (Oct. 28, 10:40 p.m.): A Tax Foundation analysis concluded that under Marco Rubio’s tax plan, the biggest cuts (in percentage terms) would go to the poor, followed by the wealthy. (The middle class would get the smallest cut.) An earlier version of this post said the largest cuts would go to the rich.
