tl;dr
That’s a wrap, folks. Now you can watch the end of Game 2 of the World Series. Or, if you’re reading this after the fact, you can start at the bottom of this live blog, scroll up and experience the joys and heartbreak of the third Republican debate in real time.
Or, if you’re a person who likes to skim, here are a few highlights:
- The ancient art of criticizing a legislator for missing votes while running for president was on full display. The target: Marco Rubio.
- Rubio and Ted Cruz (and many other candidates) went after the mainstream media. That’s a smart political move: Republicans, and all Americans, don’t like the media.
- The labor force participation rate was debated.
- As were nitty-gritty tax plan details.
- Nate argued that Jeb Bush’s struggles aren’t simply the result of negative media.
- Oh, and there was an undercard debate; we live-blogged that too.
