Fox News Undercard Republican Debate: Live Coverage

So that wraps up our live blog of the undercard debate (check out our live blog of the main stage Republican debate). Tonight’s festivities may be the last undercard debate of this campaign, so it’s worth noting just how amazing it is that we had these undercard contests at all. Could any of the undercard candidates have made more of a run if they’d been given equal footing with the main-stage candidates in all these debates? That’s hard to say, and something that will likely be studied. But using national polls to relegate some candidates in a presidential primary isn’t exactly beyond reproach.
