Tonight political newcomer Donald Trump was front and center in the CNN GOP debate. How did the businessman do answering his questions in what his presidency would be like?
According to Nate Silver’s Fivethirtyeight, Trump’s chance of being president is still great but Carly Fiorina may be his newest threat. But he still had a majority of the questions directed at him. Fivethirtyeight writes:
Trump has had more questions directed at him (nine) than Carson, Rubio, Huckabee and Walker combined (two for everyone but Walker, who has one.)
Google traffic seems to show that it may be a showdown between Trump and Fiorina.

Trump also got into blows with multiple candidates, but mainly Fiorina. Fiorina also had a chance to respond to Trump’s comments about her physical appearance. You can watch that above.
It seems like Trump is still a major presidential hopeful. Watch the full debate here.
