Just a reminder that the third Republican debate is tonight in Miami. The candidates qualified to appear on stage are Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, and Vivek Ramaswamy. Donald Trump, who bizarrely continues to lead the pack by a mile, will be a no-show as he is planning on upstaging his competitors at a rally in Hialeah, Florida. He will be seeking to shore up the Hispanic vote in the city where “more than 95% of Hialeah’s 220,000 residents identify as Hispanic or Latino.”

Tonight’s moderators are Lester Holt, Kristen Welker, and Hugh Hewitt.

WATCH: "Enchiladas," "french fries," "Bruce" and "Joan Jett."

Looks like the Democrats cleaned up.

Voters had a choice between Democrats or the party that largely supports a criminal and mostly chose the former.

Weird, huh?
