Last night, for the first time since April 2008, Democratic presidential hopefuls took to the debate stage to discuss the issues that have become the left’s platform in 2015: gun control, foreign policy and the nation’s massive student loan debt.

The debate, which was hosted by CNN, reeled in as many as 15.3 million people, making it the most watched Democratic debate in history. For a number of reasons, this viewership of this debate still pales in comparison to the two Republican debates earlier this election season. (For comparison’s sake, Fox’s Republican debate got about 25 million viewers, and CNN’s Republican debate got around 23 million viewers.) It’s easy to see that this election cycle’s Republican debates definitely had a level of entertainment that the Democratic debate lacked, and that entertainment can be summed up in one name: Donald Trump.

 

What If Trump Never Builds the Wall?

 

But not to worry: Trump was on standby, live-tweeting the Democratic debate. Trump even managed to steal some of the spotlight from the Democrats; much of today’s news cycle focused on Trump’s Twitter reactions to Democratic presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, another day that Trump managed to get the media talking about his campaign without having to purchase any TV ads.

Here are some of Trump’s best reactions to the first Democratic debate of the 2016 campaign season:

Sorry, there is no STAR on the stage tonight!

At some point, he even seemed to show admiration of some of the Democrats.

Good move by Bernie S.

The debate last night proved that Hillary is running against the “B” team. She won’t be so lucky when it comes to me!

Like her or not, Hillary did what she had to do in the debate last night—get through it. Her opponents were very gentle and soft!

#DemDebate was really boring but had a lot of fun live tweeting and picked up by far the most followers.

And we had a lot of fun watching you live-tweet it, Trump.

Trump’s live-tweeting of the debate is reminiscent of Sanders’s half-hearted live-tweeting of the Republican debate. With a few debates to go, this surely won’t be the last time the candidates take to Twitter to give us their play-by-play.
