As some of you know, I like to live tweet events. This includes presidential debates. I was a political science major and I love politics. And if any of you think this is partisan, feel free to look at what I tweet when the “other side” is debating.
Here’s how last night went down:
First off, below: it’s a cheap shot, but hey, he opened the door. To the pyramid.
Ben Carson discusses being a lab assistant. Fun fact: it was in a pyramid built by Joseph. #GOPDebate

I give Carly Fiorina points for A) going to the same business school as me, and B) presenting very well at debates, but her inaccurate statements annoy me a good deal.
No joke, whenever @CarlyFiorina speaks my 10 year-old HP Printer makes a sobbing noise #GOPDebate

Points to Rubio for being topical, but why are mobile games important to any serious debate? I mean…I am actually asking this question.
You know it's a serious debate when one of the candidates brings up Candy Crush. #GOPDebate

One of the things that admittedly annoys me to no end is when everyone agrees to the rules – such as time limits – and then they totally get thrown out the window.
For those of you just tuning in to #GOPDebate: when you hear the bell, that means it's time to keep on talking.

The long trailer for the Benghazi movie seemed to get good critical response, leading me to comment:
I think the big winner of #GOPDebate so far is probably….Michael Bay. pic.twitter.com/f82WPqe6TT

And then…it was over. I’m happy this debate was more substantive than some of the others, but still would have liked them to force candidates to give more specific policy answers. And, kind of wanted Christie on the main stage. Curious what you guys thought; tweet me anytime!
