Amidst the back-and-forth fighting between candidates (mainly Trump versus Cruz, and the rest versus a figurative Hillary Clinton), a mysterious cough kept interrupting Thursday night's sixth GOP debate. For those who watched the last Republican debate, this sudden illness (perhaps along with some of the candidates' answers) will seem all too familiar — a similar cough plagued December's GOP face-off.

It can be heard when a candidate is making an introduction or an attempt at a moving monologue, or the cough is caught in the cross-hairs between two candidates' argument.

As always, Twitter is up for picking apart the mystery:
