Rubio, moderators push back on Trump’s policy assertions
Thursday’s debate saw the last vestiges of civility stripped away from the GOP race, with the night’s rhetoric ranging from personal slights to outright vulgarity. Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz attacked Donald Trump for alleged fraud and for financing Hillary Clinton in 2008; moderators pushed him for policy details. Nevertheless, all four candidates pledged to support the eventual nominee.
