Bobby Jindal uses his closing statement to stress his commitment to shrinking government. His tax plan would certainly do that: It would raise between $9 trillion and $11 trillion less in federal revenue over the next 10 years, according to the Tax Foundation.

There is a small upside to being in the JV debate: You actually get to answer questions. In tonight’s one-hour debate, everyone got to tackle more questions than any of the debaters in Oct. 28th main-stage debate (twice as long as tonight’s undercard one). Candidates got between seven and nine questions, meaning that they nearly all got more than twice as many as Bush, Christie, Cruz and Fiorina were asked last time around.
