Tonight's Republican debate could be consequential and filled with fireworks. I'll be sharing some of my thoughts after the jump. I hope you'll share yours in our comments section.

I'll be posting in reverse chronological order.

Thank God, we're at closing statements.

Jeb just challenged Trump on the Muslim ban and explained why it's counterproductive. Trump refused.

Trump to Cruz: There's a big question mark over your head.

Trump just cited his poll numbers in defense and got booed. Now Trump is going on with his birther attacks. "I already know the Democrats are going to be bringing a suit."

I think Cruz just crushed it with his birther response, saying that it's well-settled that he's qualified and that under some theories, Trump wouldn't be.

Here comes the birther question for Cruz.

Here comes the Goldman question for Cruz, who's whining about media bias. Cruz called it a paperwork error.

Ted Cruz skips question about the economy in order to rail about those sailors freed by Iran.

Here we go... the introductions.
