Republicans Square Off During Fiery Final Debate Before Super Tuesday
A boisterous debate unfolded on Feb. 25 in Houston, when the remaining five Republican presidential candidates met for the last time before Super Tuesday. In a reflection of the narrowing field within the GOP, businessman Donald Trump, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz went after each other aggressively during a two-plus-hour debate co-hosted by CNN and Telemundo.
Almost immediately, Rubio and Trump locked horns over immigration, which took up most of the first hour of the debate, held in a state with a significant Latino population. According to tallies collected by the InsideGov team, queries about immigration comprised 24.4 percent of the questions posed by moderators.
