Ted Cruz stole the spotlight on social media as he unleashed a tirade on CNBC debate moderators and media in general for creating tension among the candidates and not addressing "substantive issues".
...
The Texas senator scored the highest activity level - total number of views, shares, likes, and mentions a candidate receives on social media networks - for the night, according to Zoomph, an analytics platform that tracks real-time data on social media.
He had 27,500 engagements on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Google+ by the end of the debate, while Rubio followed with 21,000 engagements. Bush was third on social media engagement with what Zoomph calls an activity level at 15,000, while Carson and Trump scored 14,600 and 12,500, respectively.
On Twitter, however, Carson had the highest number of new followers with more than 7,000 new accounts following him by the end of the debate, according to an analysis by CNBC. Rubio was second with about 4,000 new followers, while Trump had 3,600 new followers and Cruz had 3,300 new followers.

No other candidate exhibits such depth of understanding of the Constitution's supreme power as "the People's" limitation on its government.
Such understanding was the underlying strength of Reagan's resolve. Reagan had studied the Framers' ideas, understood their reasoning for structuring such a constitutional People's "chain" (Jefferson) on elected and appointed individuals in government, in order to "bind them down from mischief" (again, Jefferson).
If America is to survive as a place of refuge for oppressed peoples, then it must have a leader who protects that Constitution from threats from within and without!
He was great.
With the exception of Jeb, I think they all did great.
He should capitalize on this momentum and take to Twitter (as Trump does) to address people directly. Trump has used Twitter to his maximal advantage this year like it or not it’s really starting to become the way to gin up support.
Cruz’s thwacking of the moderators was priceless. Keep it up, Ted.
Cruz has been smartly and patiently biding his time. He refused to jump on the MSM bandwagon early of bashing Trump. He’s continued to put out common-sense plans for taxes and management of the Federal Government.
I think he’s the most politically astute candidate out there.
DEBATE WINNER(s): Cruz, Trump, Carson, Rubio, Christie
DEBATE LOSER (s): CNBC mods, The media, Jeb Bush, Kasich, Hillary

Kasich didn’t do well. Not by any stretch of the imagination.
This guy rocks.
Kasich looked like a tasered squirrel.
Most mentioned candidates on Twitter, with share of debate conversation:
Donald Trump: 22.19 percent

If I weren’t on my smart phone, I would find a pic of Hammy from, “Over the Hedge”
That’s hilarious! What an image.
How old is he? From the profile of his entire figure, he looks really old and like he has osteo...whatever that is...a dowager’s hump.
I stand corrected. I forgot about him.
I agree, though Kasich was a bit grating. Not that he matters much in the general scheme...
He did pretty darn good, would make a very good addition to Trumps presidency.
I can picture Cruz going through an Apprentice season, he might lose one or two challenges but will be the best and last man standing for the job.
Or as a moderator insinuated to Trump this whole election process is as the same as his Apprentice series, except its Trump who may get hired, or fired.
But after watching those episodes for the most part the winner is almost always the fire in the spirit person, the most vocal, the gladiator.
And btw, i doubt there will be any further debates like this, i have a strong gut feeling all candidates, even the zero percenters are boycotting. They are getting better polls by standing up against the MSM by a HUGE margin. They are following of course the alpha male here, Trump.
