CNBC Undercard Republican Debate: Live Coverage

Yes, a couple of Republican presidential candidates have dropped out of the race, but there are still 15 contenders left. That’s a lot. And so here we are, live-blogging a debate among Rick Santorum, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Bobby Jindal. Can any of these candidates break through? Is that just a rhetorical question at this point? Programming note: We’re trying something a little different tonight. We’ll start a second, separate live blog at about 7:30 p.m. EDT for the main-stage debate. But in the meantime, send us your questions via Twitter @FiveThirtyEight, or leave us a comment here.

We’ll be responding to questions and comments all night — tweet @FIVETHIRTYEIGHT or leave a comment.
