Trump hogged the Republican debate time.

A Final Count of Candidate Speaking Time
From The New York Times:



Mr. Trump has gotten a disproportionate amount of time to speak, in part because moderators have tried repeatedly to get him to answer questions directly and because he has interrupted moderators before the questions were finished.

Donald Trump Capitalizes on Opportunities to Speak
From The New York Times:

Donald J. Trump came out of the debate with more airtime than any other candidate. He had almost three times as many opportunities to speak as Rand Paul or Gov. Chris Christie, through direct questions from the moderators and rebuttals to other candidates. Darker bars indicate responses that were longer than 60 seconds.
