What Went Down At The CNN Republican Debate

Trump cites the polls more than any other candidate — which isn’t surprising because he’s leading in so many of them. Less surprising: He cites ones that are more favorable to him than the polling average.

Trump has three times referenced his net worth of $10 billion, and twice said he is worth more than $10 billion. As has been a theme during his public life, his claimed fortune is far more vast than others’ estimates of his fortune.

In non-Republican news, a WBUR poll just came out showing Hillary Clinton leading Bernie Sanders in Massachusetts, which votes on March 1. Other polls of Massachusetts have shown Sanders ahead, but Massachusetts is one state that Sanders will need to win to have a credible shot at the nomination. Trump has a big lead over Rubio — 40 to 19 — on the Republican side of the WBUR poll.
