Trump Dominates Debate On Twitter
thehill.com ^ | February 13

Posted on 02/13/2016 9:05:33 PM PST by Helicondelta

The real estate mogul is responsible for 40 percent of the conversation during the CBS debate from Greenville, S.C., according to data obtained from Twitter. Jeb Bush accounted for 20 percent of the conversation, followed by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) at 14 percent, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) at 13 percent, Ben Carson at 8 percent and Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) at 5 percent.

...

Trump also gained the most Twitter followers of all presidential candidates, followed by Rubio, Kasich, Democratic contender Hillary Clinton who wasn't on stage, and Ted Cruz.

...

The top three moments on Twitter all centered around the social media-savvy Trump.

The most tweeted moment was Trump calling Jeb Bush "so weak on illegal immigration that it's laughable."

The next most-tweeted moment happened during the back and forth between Trump and Cruz over their conservative credentials. "You are the single biggest liar," Trump yelled at the Texas senator.

The third biggest moment was Trump's criticism of the George W. Bush administration and 9/11. Jeb Bush defended his brother's record, saying he kept the U.S. safe.

But Trump fired back. "How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center went down?"

In the future we should ‘city build’ rather than nation-build. We should form a single city into an educational and economic dynamo with forts surrouding it. Make it their personal shining city on a hill. With a top notch commerial/military airport. Massive surveillance. Make them feel like they’re in a fishbowl albeit prosperous where we educate the nation’s future leaders, doctors, etc.

That’s difficult enough to achieve.

The surrounding area — take out the worst warlords and offer cheaper ‘bang for the buck’ support.

It sure looks gloomy if obola gets his choice for the supreme court justice.
The senate just might yield to obola and the RATS.

However, there might be a way out after obola is gone from the oval office -
have Congress declare him a usurper (i.e. illegitimate president - never was a president at all on account of his constitutional ineligibility) and eliminate all those he appointed as well as all policies he forced into place.

Yes, it is too much to hope for from the kind of Congress we have. But if Trump is the president, we can convince him to force the issue on Congress and wipe obola off the history of USA (i.e. he never existed as the 44th president); he would only be remembered as the usurper, foreign invader, destroyer of USA...
Trump is the only one that has talked about obola’s birth stories and doubts obola’s eligibility....
Ted Cruz the president will NEVER address obola’s ineligibility and we all know why.

Does it really matter anymore? In one day the entire future of our republic landed in the lap of the Senate.

Well said. The Republican lead Senate never fails to disappoint. They will likely sell out and approve an Obama justice with a mild bit of resistance, just for show. And all they have to do is stall.

Yes and that would precipitate CWII so it is important to block the Kenyan from nominating another commie POS to the court.

I don’t know where you live but in the South everybody is locked and loaded and there is zero chance anybody is going to disarm us. We have lived in a gun culture for over 200 years and it ain’t about to change because the SCOTUS says so.

I live in a free state, at least for the moment. I live in a rural area with a strong gun tradition.

Sadly there are more than a few lefties, even at my gun club that don't like semi or full auto and would have no problem turning me in.

I have little faith in the general population but, then again, only 3% freed this country from England.

So, I guess we shall see.

Keep your powder dry.

Baier(who is a Dem) did something else on air yesterday that showed his bias. When (his good friend) Steve Hayes was praising Rubio, Baier remarked, “Oh we all know you are in the tank for Rubio, Steve”.

Don’t worry too much about it. Nobody is going to take the guns. The leftards love to talk about it but doing it is a whole nother deal.
