The first prime-time Republican presidential debate featured the top 10 candidates, according to polling, and they twisted some facts.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said that “over 40 percent of small and mid-size banks … have been wiped out” since the Dodd-Frank law was passed. Actually, the total number of commercial banks has gone down only 16 percent, continuing a longtime trend.
Businessman Donald Trump said his net worth is $10 billion, but outside estimates put the figure much lower.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush twice claimed that he cut taxes in the state by $19 billion. But that includes cuts in Florida estate taxes mandated by federal law that Bush had nothing to do with.

Big deal, so a few got some numbers, and dates wrong, nothing they could do is as wild, as the out and out lies like Hitler-ry does!
Tit for tat must be a democrat article.
You mean Trump is NOT worth as much as thought? Dump this guy for the Clintons who have milked the world governments out of millions. Hillary is on top!
Two of the moderators turned part of the debate into a soap opera by their accusing questions instead of simply asking candidates where they stood on the issues.
