Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush failed to make much of an impression during the CNBC debate, when he spoke for a total of six minutes and 39 seconds, the second-shortest amount of time of any of the candidates. At the start of the Fox Business Network debate Tuesday, Bush tried to defend his right to precious talking time, only to be interrupted by Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who attempted to respond to the previous question before the moderators could move on to Bush.
"You already made two comments, John. It's my turn," Bush complained. "I got about four minutes last debate. I'm gonna get my question right now." But Kasich continued interrupting Bush anyway. Watch the full exchange below. Samantha Rollins
