I've been watching Twitter and hadn't really seen any comments about Rand Paul. Social Media metrics show he won and he's currently in 2nd here.

[SubMareener]

Looks as if Trump has “plateaued” he has slipped to 54% ;-)

Only in the Cruz is God Incarnate world did he do well.

Jokes that bombed, and again bested by Rubio of all people.

Slick, yes. Well financed, yes. But a poor candidate that would get absolutely shredded in the general. Thankfully he won’t make it there.

People who did not watch the debate: 100%

[Fundamentally Fair]

Trump wins and we lose our country to internet poll trolls.

Idiocracy.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Trump wins and we lose our country to internet poll trolls.

I've been watching Twitter as well and there doesn't seem to be any consensus about a winner.

Cruz supporter are supposed to be pretty energized but it hasn't translated well yet.

He better hope they are all waiting to caucus.

[bigbob]

[Dalberg-Acton]

Trump and the veterans.

[WENDLE]

Sports fans, this is the greatest American since George Washington. Any takers on that now?

[Pajamajan]

Ted Cruz won.

But I see the Trump trolls have clocked in, and started their shifts .

[The Cajun]

Hey look, Jeb Bush is now tied with Ted Cruz, ROTFLMAO!!

[SeaHawkFan]

For those who actually watched it, Cruz was the clear winner.

LOL, even though he skipped it, winning by a landside.
