The third Republican presidential debate of the campaign season was marked by candidates' dislike for mainstream media; an intense exchange between Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush; and bon mots from Lindsey Graham.
Several candidates during the first-tier debate lit into CNBC moderators, accusing the media of being in the tank for Hillary Clinton and posing ridiculous questions.
When Bush highlighted Rubio's lackluster voting rate in the U.S. Senate, Rubio responded by noting that his voting rate was better than that of senators who had run for president in the past. He also said Bush was complaining only because the two were running for the same position.
During the second-tier debate, Graham won laughs and plaudits for plain speech including his statement that if the American people make him commander in chief, "this crap stops."
CNN's Reality Check team also put the candidates' statements to the test.
