(NEXSTAR) – Now that the leading Republican candidates – with the notable exception of Donald Trump – have faced off Wednesday night in the fourth GOP presidential debate in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, we want to know who you think won./**/Was it Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who a NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll released Monday showed to be the frontrunner behind former President Donald Trump (albeit at a distant 11%, some 50 points behind Trump)?Or was it former U.N.

Trump said on Wednesday he will be hosting a closed-doo...
