Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is dominating Google searches during Thursday night's GOP debate, despite not being on the stage.
The debate is sponsored by Fox News and Google.
Trump announced earlier this week he wouldn't attend the event, just four days before the Iowa caucuses, claiming he was treated unfairly by Fox News. The network sent out a press release earlier this week mocking the billionaire businessman, who has had a long feud with Fox anchor Megyn Kelly.
Instead of attending the debate, Trump is holding his own event at the same time to raise money for veterans.
Trump is by far the most Google-searched candidate even in the lead up to the 9 p.m. debate. Other candidates who are on the stage Thursday have had far less traffic than Trump.
He's been leading the polls both nationally and in Iowa. He leads his closest rival, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, in Iowa by 6.8 points, according to the RealClearPolitics average of polls.

LOL!
I’m loving all of this. Best election ever! 10/10
This is great ! Go Trump Go !
Rich Lowry may be slow but he’s not stupid...maybe.
But of course!
It nice not having to listen to that blowhard tRUMP.
Much better listening to Veteran John Wayne on CSPAN than dejected morose candidates who have a zeros chance of winning.
Watched Trump’s rally on You Tube via link provided by an FR thread.
This debate is great without Trump, although the moderators still act like they’re running for something This “debate” format badly needs to be changed.
I realized just why Trump is blowing the doors off tonight. He was interviewed by a snarky CNN women for about 10 minutes just prior to his special event with the Vets. He repeatedly stopped her in her tracks whenever she resorted to partial truth gotcha type questions. He would not allow her an inch of falsehoods or biased reasoning. No other candidate can handle the MSM like Donald. He has a deceptively high IQ and see’s the horizon clearly. Street savvy for sure.
Yep! Bad mistake by Cruz. SMH
Amen!
“Everyone ‘Stupid, Fat, and Ugly” - Ted Cruz
How's it feel like to be on the wrong side of history?
Did he beat the Kardashians?
