Here are the Best Tweets of the GOP Debate

Of all the tweets bandied about during Tuesday night’s Republican debate, the best one might have been made by a Democrat.

The Twittersphere was full of comments from famous CEOs, fact-checking economists and opportunistic comedians, but it was Hillary Clinton who tweeted out a simple GIF that summed up her feelings during the contest:

Clinton wasn’t the only Democratic presidential candidate to tweet out instant responses. With more than 4,000 retweets, Bernie Sanders might have had the most shared tweet of the night with his timely Veterans Day-linked question:

We already have the biggest military in the world, yet veterans sleep out on the streets. Will Republicans talk about this? #GOPDebate

With Fox Business Network at the helm of the debate, corporate luminaries chimed in with their verdicts on the performance of Republican candidates on both the main stage and the undercard round:

Second thoughts! Kasich, Cruz talked nonsense on banking, Trump likewise on immigration. Fiorina best prepared. Maybe great at State Dept.

.@GovChristie is doing a fabulous job. Crazy that he is not on main stage sharing his thinking and presence with more. #GOPDebate

Some economists and media members took the candidate’s statements to task—especially on inflation, their knowledge on monetary policy, and Marco Rubio’s curious comment on welders:

What inflation is Ted Cruz talking about? I see no sign of it #GOPDebate pic.twitter.com/WqPlnMK1DO

Is anyone going to end this debate on an uplifting note, or is the real story just that we're all doomed?

What??? Ted Cruz says, "We have to get back to sound money." But, Ted, inflation is under 1% and the dollar is extremely strong.

Fact Check: Rubio Wrong.
