Did Ted Cruz win quote of the night with this 'KNOCK OUT' punch(line) to Donald Trump? It's already a GIF!

Did Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz win the debate quote of the night? Well, people can’t stop laughing at this one:

Cruz to Trump: "Breathe. Breathe. Breeeathe…" #gopdebate

But, does Marco Rubio share some of the credit? As Twitchy readers know, Rubio jumped in and started the weird 4-letter “word of the night”: Yoga. Yes, yoga.

That was a one-two punch, set-up, punchline by Cruz and Rubio on the Breathing / Yoga thing. #GOPDebate

Nice moment of teamwork there. Cruz tells interrupting Trump to breathe and Rubio comes in with the joke. #gopdebate
