What i had read was Campaign trail rancor carries into GOP debate. It had started with the Republican candidates engaged in a free-for-all, trying to differentiate their views on immigration, the Iraq war, abortion, gun control and even whether they believed every word in the Bible was true. Unlike previous debates in which the candidates focused most of their attacks on Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, Wednesday night's attacks were launched at each other.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney traded jabs over illegal immigration, something they have been arguing about on the trail for the past month.

In the quest to appeal to the hard-line immigration wing of the party, Romney also turned some of the fire on the same topic toward former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who has been in the polls for a along time. Rep. Tom Tancredo, who has anchored his candidacy on securing on theborders and cracking down on illegal immigration, seemed delighted with the give and take, saying the other candidates were trying to "out-Tancredo" him.
