Jeb Bush, in his strongest performance to date, traded blows with frontrunner Donald Trump. Bush's right hook at Trump: "Donald, you know, is great at the one-liners, but he is a Chaos Candidate and he'd be a Chaos President." The uppercut from Trump: "All right, you're a tough guy Jeb. You're real tough. Well, let's see I am at 42 [percent] and you're at 3 [percent] so, so far I'm doing better." In addition, we counted at least four times (over NSA surveillance, defense spending, Libya, and immigration) when Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio squared off against each other. And Rand Paul and Chris Christie battled over foreign policy, with Paul landing a jab on Bridge-gate. Yet despite all of those punches, the two heavyweights going into last night -- Trump and Cruz -- didn't even touch each other. In fact, we saw more of a bromance between the two than a debate.  Click for more.
