The 3-hour debate included the ability for Trump’s many opponents to address the the statements he has made about them over the course of his campaign so far. Lindsey Graham says he’d drink a lot more if he gets into the White House. What did you learn about the candidates that you didn’t know before? And as this was happening, Trump gave money to Bush and the state party during Bush’s 1998 race for governor.

Trump, who says he’ll rely on “the finest team that anybody has put together” to get him up to speed on foreign affairs, said he’d “get along” with Putin.

Donald Trump’s teflon started to wear thin at Wednesday night’s Republican presidential primary debate. When it comes to Trump, that means figuring out how to respond to his bluster and off-the-cuff insults. “I think women all over this country heard very clearly what Mister Trump said”.

GWEN IFILL: Each member of the 11-candidate field took turns trying to break through. “That I can tell you”.

Clinton used an appearance on “The Tonight Show” last night to mock her competition. You’ll see the stage lights.
