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 [2], foreign policy, and, oh yeah, fruit salad [3].
While Carson and Kasich hardly got a word in (Carson had no shame whining about it [4]), 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.
3. Cruz confronts Trump about his previous statements on health care, Trump says he won't let people die on the streets, and there's shouting.
