- The GOP candidates for president will debate tonight, two days after Donald Trump dominated Super Tuesday by winning seven of 11 states.
- Trump will likely com under heavy attack by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, who are both facing potential elimination if they don't start rallying more voters to their sides.
- Rubio is trying to make the case that he can rally the Republican establishment to his side. Cruz says that he had beaten Trump in more states than anyone else, and has the conservative credentials to win.
- Another point of tension will be between Trump and Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly. I the first GOP debate, Kelly asked Trump about his past comments about women, which drew his ire.
- Trump then boycotted the next Republican debate, held before the Iowa caucuses, hosted by Fox because the network wouldn't drop Kelly as a moderator. Trump went on to lose the caucuses to Cruz.
- Ben Carson dropped out of the race on Wednesday. John Kasich will also debate.
