The Best Tweets from Tonight’s Democratic Debate
Las Vegas AKA “The City of Sin” is usually accompanied with a reputation for gambling, drinking and non-stop partying, but tonight the city was the setting for a big event that’s a little bit different than it’s regularly scheduled programming: the first democratic debate. Hilary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley, Jim Webb and Lincoln Chafee faced off in a discussion moderated by Anderson Cooper that covered hot topics like wealth inequality, the importance of small business and gun control.
If you missed the debate or you want to relive the night in 140 characters or less, here are X of our favorite tweets posted throughout the evening.
