Goodnight, see you tomorrow.

Will round two be crazier than tonight?

There you have it. As expected, the health care debate was on fire tonight. We'll be back on the blog tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. for Round Two. Good night and thanks joining us!

No, here's the RNC's response to tonight's event.

"On tonight’s Democrat debate stage, Americans witnessed a doubling down on Democrats’ radical, socialist proposals," said Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. "From a government takeover of health care to decriminalizing illegal immigration, Democrat candidates put their out-of-touch priorities on full display. As workers and industries thrive under President Trump’s winning economic policies here in Michigan and across the country, voters will choose four more years of this great American comeback rather than allow Democrats to take us backward."

Shall we give her the final word?

All that a country is is a collection of people. People heal when there's some deep truth telling. #DemDebates #BigTruth

Hey, Trump Jr. is a fan.

People are gonna think that I’m trolling but compared to what else is up on this stage I think Marianne Williamson is actually winning this thing. This is amazing. No question she seems to be drawing the biggest applause of the night.

Oh my God Warren actually said the word, "Native American."

As Elizabeth Warren closes the night with complaints about cost of college for students, just remember she was paid $400,000 to teach one class. 

You guys, Marianne Williamson is the top trend on Twitter right now.

Thank goodness we don't have to listen to Eric Swalwell give a very stupid closing statement.

No one clapped for Klobuchar closing speech

Withdrawing from war zones filled with terrorists — against sound military advice — didn’t work for President Obama and it won’t work for anyone else.ISIS and al-Qaeda are loving this debate.

Prediction: Amy Klobuchar will be dropping out soon.

Hickenlooper among the Dems onstage tonight to say they're "progressive, but pragmatic."

I'd vote for Delaney over anyone else on that stage, so he has no chance.

Williamson goes full on spiritual love in her closing 

We're in the era of the outsider...and in the case of Marianne Willaimson ---REALLY OUTSIDE 

Closing statements 

Why is CNN asking these candidates about nuclear weapon use?It’s like the moderators think they are at a high school model UN tournament“Denmark will now invade Sri Lanka!”

No president should agree to absorb a first nuclear strike.
