Five Republican presidential candidates gathered Thursday night for a final showdown before Super Tuesday.
The CNN debate, moderated by Wolf Blitzer, took place at the University of Houston two days after Nevada’s Republican caucuses.

FOX 5 wants to know: Who do you think won the debate?
(Excerpt) Read more at fox5sandiego.com ...
Trump with 80% of the vote.
80% in a strong Hispanic (33%), strong Asian (12%) area
Cruz at 3.4%
Cruz’s smug Harvard lawyer act didn’t seem to play well with voters in a lot of the polls outside of the Blaze and Drudge.
I think Rubio and Cruz landed enough on Trump to win this one.
However, it was not enough to knock him out.
Also, Rubio still looks awfully young and still comes across as simply to child-like in his looks and mannerisms. He is nowhere near ready for the pressures of the Presidency. Cruz did well, but he has waffled some on the immigration issue, and he does come across as a little too cerebral. Cruz should be on the SCOTUS, not in the White House.
Rubio did well but there was not much reason to vote FOR him.
I suspect Trump may have hired illegals and many contractors and sub-contractors hire illegals. But, Rubio will make sure tens of millions immigrants come in both legal and illegal and that is a far more dangerous situation for the country and the middle class and also the lower class in trying to find higher paying jobs.
Good tactical victory for Rubio and Cruz, but no knockout of the frontrunner. I suspect Cruz wins Texas, but Trump may still win Florida mainly because Rubio is not as liked in Florida and he is perceived as a tool of globalist influences.
Good analysis.
If Cruz and Rubio won, their poll numbers in the surveys tonight would be much higher than they are vs. Trump. Particularly Cruz.
This must have been at least the 3rd poll now that he is at 3%. People see it..
This is liberal CA.
Trump won’t win the Golden State in November, so who cares.
Dr. Carson said they should be discussing issues but Cruz and Rubio just kept making accusations to make them look tough.
It was annoying, especially Cruz.
We’ll work on it. When is CA anyways?
I thought the way Cruz and Rubio ganged up on Trump made Trump look more Presidential and made those two look like schoolyard bullies. Not Presidential. They may have gotten some satisfaction from the verbal beat down but it doesn’t look like they won any votes going by all the different polls that have Trump winning by double the next closest person.
Internet polls like this are never accurate. Wait until Tuesday. Trump was bloodied pretty badly by both Rubio and Cruz. Should be interesting.
Trump looked anything but presidential.
No one scored a KO.
One needed to happen to change the direction of the race.
Trump could have stood on his head all night and still would have won the debate.
The reality is no one else will win the nomination.
Trump supporter?
Trump 79 Rubio 12 Cruz 4 Kasich 3 Carson 1
