- 02:02:40 Debate time! Woo! They asked them to be respectful. Ha!
- 02:06:34 The crowd is very excited.
- 02:07:24 OMFG.
- 02:07:44 Retweeted @dbernstein 02:07:27 Trump says he has a big dick.
- 02:07:47 Retweeted @DavidCornDC 02:07:27 Next up: Trump drops his pants. #GOPDebate
- 02:08:00 Retweeted @politicalwire 02:07:55 7 minutes in and we’re taking penis size. I love politics.
- 02:08:05 Retweeted @dceiver 02:07:58 RUBIO: I"m ready to talk about policy
TRUMP: My dick is tremendous.
- 02:11:12 Retweeted @PoliticalLine 02:11:05 RIP GOP
- 02:12:01 I can’t believe this represents the best one of our two major national parties can produce. So sad. This is a shitshow.
- 02:12:40 Retweeted @CynthiaRoldan 02:12:28 "He referred to my hands, 'if they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem." — @realDonaldTrump
- 02:13:48 Kasich is indeed the only adult on this stage.
- 02:15:07 Retweeted @MileHighBrendan 02:14:44 See now this is what I mean. Trump flat-out lied when he said polls show he's the only 1 who can beat HRC. No correction from "journalists."
- 02:18:52 Retweeted @RadioFreeTom 02:18:41 "Do you make your clothes in Mexico?"
"Fuck this little guy."
#GOPDebate - 02:19:25 Retweeted @politicalwire 02:19:16 This is quite a choice that Republican voters have
- 02:19:58 Retweeted @EsotericCD 02:07:45 We just had a presidential frontrunner boast about his penis-size in a national debate. This is a thing that just happened.
- 02:21:17 In the last couple of debates, I’ve found all this stuff funny and entertaining. Now I just want to cry. This is pitiful.
- 02:22:18 The GOP has hit bottom and has now pulled out the shovels.
- 02:22:53 Retweeted @DavidCornDC 02:22:44 Abraham Lincoln. Just saying. #GOPDebate
- 02:23:45 Moderators slamming Trump on facts. Wow.
- 02:24:53 Retweeted @AriFleischer 02:24:45 This is how you interview Trump. Through facts and follow-ups. Good job Chris Wallace.
- 02:26:20 Retweeted @DavidChalian 02:21:33 I'm now convinced that Rubio is trying to bait Trump into punching him.
- 03:06:46 Was dealing with Alex the last 20 minutes or so. Did I miss anything good?
- 03:09:38 Moderators really going after Trump tonight. Interesting.
- 03:10:27 Retweeted @TheOtherKeppler 03:09:32 I submit, again, that previous presidents should moderate debate. No one can call BS better than them. No one knows the job better. #debate
- 03:10:41 Retweeted @ForecasterEnten 03:10:28 Megyn Kelly. Wow.
- 03:10:54 Retweeted @NumbersMuncher 03:10:35 Megyn Kelly is going to after Donald Trump in a way that is making him run with his tail between his legs. #GOPDebate
- 03:12:00 If Trump votes actually cared, this would be devastating for Trump. But they don’t.
- 03:14:51 “Is this the debate you want?” – Cruz
- 03:15:25 Retweeted @pbump 03:15:18 what if they did this in july

- 03:16:14 Retweeted @BadAstronomer 03:15:50 I keep refreshing the “Potential Earth-Impacting Asteroids” page but no such luck. #GOPDebate
- 03:21:08 Retweeted @TheFix 03:11:07 Look, Megyn Kelly is very good at this. VERY.
- 03:31:00 Why are the religious liberty questions always about fundamentalist Christians?
- 03:34:03 Missed another 20 minutes or so. Nobody ever tells me what I missed, so I guess I won’t ask.
- 03:39:51 Retweeted @liamstack 03:39:36 Cruz: Donald, please, I know it's hard not to interrupt. Breathe, breathe.
Rubio: When you're done with the yoga can I answer a question? - 03:40:39 Retweeted @PatrickSvitek 03:40:14 – Cruz to Trump: Breathe.
– Rubio: Can I answer after this yoga?
– Cruz: Let's not do yoga on this stage.
– Rubio: Well, Trump's flexible. - 03:49:51 No EMP? He didn’t mention EMPs?
- 03:55:59 Missed more of this debate than I would have liked. But.. last question!
- 03:56:11 Will they all support Trump?
- 03:56:36 Rubio: Yes, will support Trump.
- 03:56:52 Cruz: Yes, will support Trump.
- 03:57:31 Kasich: Yes, will support Trump.
- 03:57:58 That’s it. they all think Trump is horrible, but will all support him anyway. They are all disqualified.
- 03:58:16 Retweeted @AdamWeinstein 03:58:06 Rubio at 10:40: DONALD TRUMP CAN'T BE COMMANDER IN CHIEF HE'S NOT SERIOUS
Rubio at 10:55: I'D SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
- 03:59:16 Will Trump support one of the others? Yes. He will. OK.
- 03:59:26 Retweeted @chrislhayes 03:59:17 That's it. That was the ballgame. They'll all support him when he's the nominee. So will Fox.
- 03:59:55 Retweeted @politicalmath 03:59:49 "Will you support the candidate even if it isn't you?"
And everyone on stage lies - 04:00:22 Closing statements now.
- 04:01:21 Retweeted @jmartNYT 04:01:08 I don't think Rubio quite got meaning of #nevertrump when he tweeted last week
- 04:02:34 OK, usual post-debate prediction: It changes absolutely nothing. People have already picked their sides.
- 04:02:59 And Fox goes straight to interview Trump for more.
- 04:03:41 Retweeted @_cingraham 04:03:29 "Donald Trump will destroy civilization as we know it"
"So he's worse than a Democrat?"
"WHOA whoa let's not get carried away" - 04:03:57 Retweeted @teddyschleifer 03:56:57 Cruz on why he would support Trump: "Because I gave my word that I would."
- 04:04:01 Retweeted @jbarro 04:03:44 Trump was a genius for engineering a situation where all his opponents would sign pledges to support him. https://t.co/6M5p7JzkPE

- 04:05:47 Retweeted @Green_Footballs 04:05:17 So it took #NeverTrump less than a week to be rendered totally irrelevant.
- 04:06:17 Retweeted @MoElleithee 04:04:25 I'm still stunned.
Rubio and Cruz drew real blood tonight with attacks on Trump U.
Then they personally administered the first aid.
- 04:08:42 Retweeted @PatrickSvitek 03:06:51 As far as I can tell, there's been absolutely no Cruz vs. Rubio violence tonight so far
- 04:10:11 OK, time to do other stuff. I did miss probably half of it in the end, but everything I saw of tonight’s debate was just pitiful.
- 05:06:21 Retweeted @HillaryClinton 03:59:36 How many more of these do we have to sit through? Asking for a friend. #GOPdebate https://t.co/AxGFlerSRW
- 05:11:25 Retweeted @JamieJohnsonUSA 03:15:28 My party is committing suicide on national television. #GOPDebate
- 05:12:09 Retweeted @FrankLuntz 05:04:46 Words used by my focus group to describe tonight’s #GOPDebate:
• disgusting
• embarrassing
• childish
• sophomoricGet the idea?
- 05:12:17 Retweeted @sahilkapur 04:29:35 After 10 debates, Republicans realized Trump is their real foe and focused their fire on him. Then they vowed to back him if he’s nominated.

- 05:40:50 .@Marty2634 It was interesting seeing the moderators actually do some real time fact checking and push back. in reply to Marty2634
- 05:41:05 Retweeted @Marty2634 05:39:54 @abulsme I thought Ohio Gov John Kasich did a Great Job at the Fox News TV Presidential Debate in Detroit. Won't be Nominee-but good job in reply to abulsme
- 05:42:30 .@Marty2634 As many have pointed out, he seemed like the only adult on stage. But the Repub voters don’t seem to be in the mood for that. in reply to Marty2634

- 06:17:03 .@Marty2634 Yes. I think the Dems will come together more easily. But I think more R’s will rally around Trump than many think. in reply to Marty2634
