Related: About this forumBernie Sanders won the GOP debate for the second time in a row
Bernie Sanders won the GOP debate for the second time in a rowBernie Sanders was crowned king of the debate yet again after producing the single biggest Facebook post of the night by far.
"It wasn't even close," says Brandon Silverman, CEO of CrowdTangle, a company that measures and analyzes social media interactions.
"The evening was really pretty sad," Sanders wrote in the Facebook post that garnered over 150,000 likes and 30,000 shares. "This country and our planet face enormous problems. And the Republican candidates barely touched upon them tonight. And when they did, they were dead wrong on virtually every position they took. The Republican Party cannot be allowed to lead this country. That's why we need a political revolution."
Sanders also live-tweeted the debate using the hashtag #DebateWithBernie.

"The Biggest Winner Of The CNN Republican Debate Was Bernie Sanders"
After two and half hours, even Bernie Sanders couldnt take any more. Sen. Sanders summed up the night with a Facebook post, The evening was really pretty sad. This country and our planet face enormous problems. And the Republican candidates barely touched upon them tonight. And when they did, they were dead wrong on virtually every position they took. The Republican Party cannot be allowed to lead this country. Thats why we need a political revolution.
The evening was sad, but it was also a huge win for Bernie Sanders. When Republicans discuss their agenda, it benefits Democrats. Extremism was on parade during both Republican debates on CNN. The American people, or at least those who made it through the whole 5 hour plus slog, got to see what Republicans are up to.
The Republican candidates promoted the virtues of George W. Bush. They talked up the bogus Planned Parenthood videos, dismissed doing anything about climate change, debated the merits of vaccines, told America that Kim Davis was just like MLK, ignored the middle-class, except to say that working people are struggling and embraced a flat tax that would give more to rich and harm everyone else.
The debate was a disaster for Republicans, but it was a goldmine for candidates with a real agenda to help the American people, like Bernie Sanders.
