- 00:07:03 Saw tweets about the debate. Panicked I was missing it. Then realized it was another kiddie table debate. Why are these still happening?
- 00:46:51 Can you imagine if Trump joined the debate half way through? Shows up unannounced: “Miss me?” We wouldn’t hear about anything else for days!
- 02:00:53 Debate time! Woo! Trump says Fox apologized, maybe he will show up at the last minute… :-)
- 02:03:31 They asked about Trump not being here. What a surprise!

- 02:14:24 I’m multitasking, so will not be constantly tweeting during this debate. Unless I get inspired. But hey, no Trump, so… :-)
- 02:26:59 Retweeted @freddoso 02:25:42 Think of this debate as a test of how Rs would feel about having normal, well-adjusted person as their nominee.
- 02:27:51 Cruz acting like an idiot about the rules. Always looks bad. Will these candidates never learn?
- 02:28:09 Retweeted @nxthompson 02:27:48 Ted Cruz: He said my name!
Wallace: He didn't! He just said "unqualified" - 02:30:31 Cruz threatening to leave too? Really? I don’t think it would work for him the way it is working for Trump. Try it though. Please.
- 02:30:44 Retweeted @ZekeJMiller 02:30:31 Rubio: "Don't worry, I'm not leaving the stage no matter what you ask me"
- 02:32:39 What’s this sniping between the candidates and the moderators here. Everyone seems a bit on edge. :-)
- 02:32:53 Retweeted @petridishes 02:32:46 Well Trump is winning this debate so far
- 02:36:58 Megan Kelly to Christie flat out “That is not true.” Good job to her.
- 02:38:10 Carson is still here?
- 02:40:03 Hey look, idiots talking about encryption issues they don’t understand again! (This is a bipartisan theme.)
- 03:04:18 Been distracted by other things the last 10-15 minutes or so. Did I miss anything interesting?
- 03:04:32 Retweeted @PollsAndVotes 02:48:26 @abulsme Nuts. Thanks. I’ll get the file replaced tomorrow. in reply to abulsme
- 03:05:40 .@PollsAndVotes :-) No worries, it happens. :-) in reply to PollsAndVotes
- 03:09:46 Retweeted @DanielLarison 03:09:08 Rubio: "This is the lie Cruz's campaign is built on." Trump is laughing somewhere
- 03:12:40 I missed a bunch in the middle, but it is sounding like these guys are all ripping each other, & meanwhile Trump above it all. Trump wins.
- 03:49:31 Retweeted @ppppolls 2016-01-28 19:07:34 Still a lot of votes on the table in Iowa- 31% of likely caucus goers say they could change their minds by Monday: https://t.co/Ji39FfPTQU
- 03:51:03 Retweeted @DecisionDeskHQ 2016-01-28 17:34:13 Counting down, we now have
4 days until Iowa.
12 until New Hampshire.
23 until South Carolina.
26 until Nevada.
33 until the SEC primary. - 03:52:14 Retweeted @jensmanuel 2016-01-28 16:00:17 Trends shaping U.S. politics: The generation gap in partisan affiliation https://t.co/kzSznYdGVL https://t.co/VeeI8OkwUS
- 03:59:31 Aww, Trump didn’t crash the party last minute. Oh well. :-)
- 04:22:35 Forgot final thoughts on debate effects! I think Trump won by not being there, polls will rise. Others down slightly. But basically stasis.
- 05:44:15 Retweeted @JesseLaGreca 05:43:30 Dear flat earth people, imagine a rock & a globe. Now imagine holding the rock while I smash this globe over your head until you are smarter

- 05:49:41 .@Marty2634 Yeah, mostly a current events junkie. Which of course right now is dominated by the presidential race. in reply to Marty2634

- 06:03:39 .@Marty2634 I wanted to get your thoughts on the Election Graphs site, but aside from that, what did you think of tonight’s debate? in reply to Marty2634
- 06:05:52 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:05:31 @abulsme Very Interesting Election Graphs. I thought Tonight's Fox News 2016 GOP Pres TV Debate in Iowa was Very "Substantive" on the Issues in reply to abulsme
- 06:07:24 .@Marty2634 Thanks! More sub than most of them, yes. I think Trump’s move was smart though. Got all the attention, with little downside. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:09:15 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:08:46 @abulsme Who do you think won tonight's Fox News 2016 GOP Pres TV Debate?
You don't think Trump Skipping Debate will hurt Trump-Iowa Caucus in reply to abulsme - 06:10:24 .@Marty2634 I think “won” in terms of who performed better never a good question. Q is how polls move after. Prob mostly no movement tbh. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:11:42 .@Marty2634 If any movement, probably slightly + for Trump, – for those who actually came. Those there got hit by attacks, Trump avoided. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:11:52 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:11:40 @abulsme Would you say that if 2016 GOP Presidential Frontrunner D. Trump Wins Monday's Iowa Caucus he will go on to be the Nominee? in reply to abulsme
- 06:13:28 .@Marty2634 A few weeks ago I gave odds at 40% Trump, 30% Cruz, 20% Rubio, 10% someone else. If Trump wins Iowa, I think his odds go to 60%. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:15:00 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:14:43 @abulsme I'm from Illinois! So you think it was a Smart Strategy for D. Trump to have Skipped Fox News TV Debate & held his own rally in reply to abulsme
- 06:15:50 .@Marty2634 Yes, I think it was a smart strategy. But I think he missed out opportunity to do live snark on debate, or show up half way. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:17:31 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:17:20 @abulsme How do you think Fox News Co-Moderators: Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace & Bret Baier did at the TV Debate in terms of asking Tough Q's? in reply to abulsme
- 06:19:30 .@Marty2634 I was multitasking, so didn’t catch all of it, but it sounded like they weren’t bad. A few hard Q’s and followups. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:25:29 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:24:54 @abulsme Describe what Impact Vermont US Sen. Sanders would have if he went on to Win 2016 Dem Iowa Caucus & NH Primary? Hillary in Trouble? in reply to abulsme
- 06:27:25 .@Marty2634 If Sanders wins IA&NH media will go nuts about Clinton doom. Until she wins big in SC and beyond. Very tough road for Sanders. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:29:28 .@Marty2634 To start with, Clinton has huge delegate lead already. Sanders needs 54% of dels, not 50% to catch up. https://t.co/V9ZSBIY8bn in reply to Marty2634
- 06:29:53 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:29:06 @abulsme It's nice to meet you, Samuel! What type of President would Donald Trump make if he's the 2016 GOP Pres Nominee & Beat Hillary? in reply to abulsme
- 06:31:08 .@Marty2634 Same here. I think that scenario unlikely, but if it happened, think he would be a horrible president. I am not a Trump fan. :-) in reply to Marty2634
- 06:34:25 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:34:06 @abulsme I agree with you about Donald Trump by the way. How do you think Donald Trump will deal with Sen. Ted Cruz winning GOP Iowa Caucus? in reply to abulsme
- 06:36:09 .@Marty2634 If Cruz wins, it will be close. I think T will minimize the loss then move on and win NH handily. Don’t think it will hurt much. in reply to Marty2634
- 06:42:04 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:41:38 @abulsme Do you think Vermont Sen. Sanders by the Progressive Campaign he's run will make H. Clinton a Better 2016 Dem Pres Nominee? in reply to abulsme
- 06:42:58 .@Marty2634 I think Clinton strengthened Obama, but don’t think Sanders will strengthen Clinton the same way. Sanders not aggressive enough. in reply to Marty2634
- 07:00:27 Retweeted @Marty2634 06:49:47 @abulsme Would you be Surprised if the GOP 2016 Presidential Ticket has a Woman as the VP Nominee? in reply to abulsme
- 07:00:57 .@Marty2634 Would not be surprised at all. Not sure who though. :-) in reply to Marty2634
- 07:05:54 Retweeted @Marty2634 07:02:43 @abulsme I would say GOP SC Gov Niki Haley or New Mexico Gov Susana Martinez. Shouldn't Hillary Distance herself from Pres Obama's Policies? in reply to abulsme
- 07:06:51 .@Marty2634 Depends on the R nom I guess. Trump/Haley seems less likely after SOTU response. :-). Not impossible though. in reply to Marty2634
- 07:09:30 .@Marty2634 I don’t think Clinton has to distance much. People that makes a difference to won’t vote D anyway. Needs Obama to rally base. in reply to Marty2634
- 07:09:59 Retweeted @Marty2634 07:09:13 @abulsme Do you feel Donald Trump could be hurt with Undecided Voters on Monday Night for not Participating in Fox News TV Debate on Thurs? in reply to abulsme
- 07:10:41 .@Marty2634 Don’t think it will hurt him. Might even help. He made Fox News beg. Shows strength. in reply to Marty2634
- 07:14:31 Retweeted @Marty2634 07:13:14 @abulsme Very Interesting, Samuel! in reply to abulsme
