With the seemingly forever changing Republican presidential field finally seeming like it was going to settling down, the fourth presidential debate took place last night in Milwaukee. Those who believed that was the case couldn’t have been more wrong. This time around, there were only eight candidates on the main stage instead of ten, as former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie were both relegated to the undercard debate that took place before the main event. With the debate done, here’s how each candidate did and the rankings from one to eight based on the winners and losers.

Businessman Donald Trump

After regaining his lead in the most recent Fox News poll, Trump needed a good performance in the debate to maintain his lead. Last night, Trump was stumped on immigration by both John Kasich and Jeb Bush. All he could say in his defense was that he was going to build a wall. Also, on trade, Trump gave a weak answer on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, saying that it was all for China to come in from the back door and steal the deal. This allowed Rand Paul to steal the spotlight on the topic, quickly destroying Trump by saying that China isn’t even part of the deal. He was also booed on occasion, which shows that his support is faltering. He was also silent for a lot of the night, which can’t help him. Don’t be surprised to see him fall from his top spot.

Dr. Ben Carson

After losing his lead in the Fox News poll, Carson needed a good night to regain his spot on the top of the Republican mountain. Well, Carson did decent, but he didn’t seem to talk much at all. He did exceptionally well with the question regarding his past, especially with it being challenged by many. Overall, he had the applauds of the crowd, but he didn’t make the most of his talk time. Don’t be surprised to see his poll numbers and position fall, maybe significantly.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio

The man that has been surrounded by controversy for his Senate voting record and use of his party credit card, Rubio needed a win or strong performance to keep his presidential hopes alive. After the debate, Rubio stood tall for the most part. Although Rubio got into a shouting match with Rand Paul over military funding, and while it was very close, Paul won the match. But other than that, Rubio was very effective in just about every argument, especially with his swift attacks on Hillary Clinton. He was certainly one of the winners last night, and he might just take the top spot.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz

One of the men on the rise, Cruz needed to keep the momentum going after a strong performance in the CNBC Debate. Well, after it was all said and done, Cruz didn’t do good, but didn’t do bad. He gained little applauds over his statements on banks, while he did well with the crowd over comments on immigration, a spot where it seemed that he agreed with Donald Trump on. He didn’t do anything to help himself, so don’t be surprised to see his poll numbers drop slightly.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul

A candidate that has been on the rise in some polls, Paul needed a strong performance to keep his momentum going. At the end of the night, Paul didn’t just do well, he did outstanding. He not only defeated Marco Rubio in a shouting match over military funding, he stood tall against criticism from Carly Fiorina over a no fly zone in Syria, destroyed Donald Trump over his false statements on China being involved with the Trans-Pacific Partnership and he answered each question fully and confidently. Look for Paul to rise significantly in the polls, after he was the clear winner of the debate last night.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush

After the continuous slumping poll numbers, Bush needed a great performance last night. At the end of the day, Bush did very well. Last night, we saw a different Jeb than we’ve seen in previous debates. He was far more energetic than he was in the past, gaining loud applauds on numerous subjects, as well as beating Donald Trump on his immigration policies. Don’t be surprised to see Bush rise in the polls in the coming days and weeks.

Ohio Governor John Kasich

Another candidate who has been on the rise, Kasich was on a mission to continue his ride of good debates. At the end of the night, Kasich it didn’t seem like he got much talk time, although he had the second most, but when he spoke, he was ineffective for the most part, especially when he got into a debate with Ted Cruz over banks, in which he was actually booed for his comments. Overall, he didn’t have a good night at all, but don’t expect to see his poll numbers change much, but if they do, they almost certainly won’t be going up.

Businesswoman Carly Fiorina

Perhaps the most interesting candidate in the entire field, Fiorina needed a result last night. After rising to 15% in some polls after the Fox News and CNN debates, Fiorina had fallen to just 3% in the most recent Fox News poll, so it goes without saying, Fiorina was in desperate need to get a win last night. When it was all finished, Fiorina did decent. Although she was beat by Rand Paul over the situation in Syria, she did well in just about every other part of the debate, such as her comments on the the popular Republican belief of the ineffectiveness of Obamacare. Don’t be surprised to see her rise in the polls.

The ranking of each candidate is based on their performance in last night’s debate from the best (1st place) to worst (8th place).

1. Rand Paul
2. Marco Rubio
3. Jeb Bush
4. Carly Fiorina
5. Ted Cruz
6. Ben Carson
7. John Kasich
8. Donald Trump
