Front-runner Donald Trump faced off against Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich for the last time until voting begins Tuesday in the swing states Ohio and Florida. Rubio was looking to make some noise in his hometown and he delivered several zingers to Trump, who was unusually subdued for much of the night. This debate featured more policy and less antics, but the Republicans still managed to have some fun. Watch the highlights of Thursday’s Republican debate above.
