Forbes: Bernie Sanders Clearly Won The Debate -- On Twitter

Bernie Sanders cleaned up on the social media service, rapidly outpacing the other four candidates when it came to adding new followers.

Sanders gained 35,163 new followers during the 150-minute debate. Meanwhile, the other four Democrats gained a total of just 23,219 new followers — combined — led by Hillary Clinton, who added 13,252 new Twitter followers by herself.



(If you look by percentage, it’s even more dramatic. @BernieSanders’ follower count grew by 5%. Meanwhile, @HillaryClinton’s followers grew by less than 0.3%.)

equals some kind of victory you don't know much about Democratic nominations.

6. I know a lot about Democratic nominations. Mostly the establishment has the inside track.

But we are looking at something new here. The People are starting to speak out against the damn establishment that has been co-opted by the billionaires. We are the People and we have a voice. Damn those that side with the billionaires and their puppets.

9. You said it...Hillary couldn't even utter an unkind word against Super-Pacs, billionaires, or lobbyists...and for good reason...

confirming what everyone knows...Hillary is bought and paid for.

In turn, Hillary knows she and her Wall Street buddies are toast, finding themselves on the wrong side of history.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!
