The Republican debate on Tuesday saw clashes between Jeb Bush and Donald Trump, with the former labelling Trump a "chaos candidate" for his "one-liners" and controversial policy proposing a ban on Muslims.
The two-hour debate on CNN saw Bush attack Trump's credibility, saying his attitude to foreign policy "demonstrated a lack of seriousness".
Trump defended his stance by saying America needed a "tough" leader, a statement which was interrupted by Bush:

Trump:

Bush:

Trump:

Bush later commented, to loud applause:
Donald, you’re not going to be able to insult your way to the Presidency, that’s not going to happen.
