Note that these all contain more than one fact check, and in fact there is a ton of stuff checked, and many claims checked multiple times. And always remember with fact checks to read beyond the score and opening, there tends to be a lot of nuance in these things.

I liked the repeated pleas from many of the candidates to 'repeal Obamacare and replace it with something'....with the 'something' never defined. Heck- if it was that easy, we would have done 'something' 50 years ago!

It's like the fake idea of recreating the tax code to eliminate loopholes, when their entire funding sources come from groups that are giving money to protect and expand those loopholes!
