Shows to the voters of iowa . Let me say im a maniac, and everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and ugly, and ben, youre a terrible surgeon. Now that weve gotten the donald trump portion out of the way. Its not about donald trump. Hes an entertaining guy. This is the greatest show on earth. I kind of miss donald trump. Hes a little teddy bear to me. We always had such a loving relationship in these debates and been tween in the tweets. I kind of miss him. I wish he was here. Donald trump did pull back either. I didnt want to be here. I have to be honest. I wanted to be about five minutes away. You have to stick up for your rights. When youre treated badly, you have to stick up for your rights. You have to do it. I have to go a little step further and say that fox has been extremely nice, and the last number of hours, actually. And theyve wanted me there and they called a few minutes ago and said, how about now . I said, hasnt it already started . They wanted me to go apologize and they apologized, and once this started, there was nothing i could do. Its for our vets. And is it for me personally a good thing . A bad thing . Less votes, more votes . Who the hell knows, but its for our vets and youre going to like it, because we raised over 5 million in one day. Over 5 million. So, thats not so bad.

Without you, there is no [ inaudible ]. Back over at the debate on the other stage, with trump not in attendance, cruz was the target of much of the attacks, spearheaded by rand paul and marco rubio. Ted said he was for nsa reform but then told marco rubio, no. I voted for the bill, because im for the government collecting 100 of your cell phone records. I dont think ted can have it both ways. The only budget ted has voted for is one that brags about cutting defense spending. Campaign is built on and rand touched upon it. That hes the most conservative guy and everyone else is a rhino. The truth is, ted, youve been willing to say or do anything in order to get votes. Cruz took up trumps normal post with the moderators. I was mentioned in that question. No. Your name wasnt mentioned, ted. Sir sir i think the question was its not my question that you get a chance to respond to. Its his answer. You dont get 30 seconds to respond to me. Id like to go on sir. I know you like to argue about the rule, but were going to conduct a debate. I would like to say the last four questions have been jeb please attack ted, marco, please attack ted let me just say this it is a debate, sir. Question, i may have to leave the stage. So at the end of the night, who won . Looking at the candidates on the stage, the most talked about on facebook ted cruz, a whopping 41 of the conversation. If you include all republican candidates, donald trump was perhaps not surprisingly the most discussed on twitter and in keeping with recent polls, ted cruz and marco rubio rounded out the top three there. The donald saw the largest twitter following growth during the debate. With the caucus just three days away, iowa was the most active state on facebook. New hampshire and south carolina, the first two primary states, third and fourth. Bernie sanders home state of vermont was fifth. One person thrillaled with the events surrounding last nights debate, Vice President joe biden. By the way, we may be given a gift from the lord in the president ial race here. I dont know who to root for more . Name . Hes havinging a fundraiser for veterans tonight, im told. And president obama had optimism while addressing the annual House Democratic retreat.
