Ahead of Super Tuesday next week, the remaining five GOP candidates gathered for a debate in Texas. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Donald Trump, John Kasich, and Ben Carson talked about health care, immigration, Planned Parenthood, foreign policy, and, oh yeah, fruit salad.
While Carson and Kasich hardly got a word in (Carson had no shame whining about it), the other three front runners battled it out in a heated showdown. Rubio attacked Trump like his political life depended on it (it kinda does), and there was more yelling than a Beyoncé concert. Check out the highlights with these three most buzzed-about moments on Twitter — according to Twitter.
