HuffPo:Bernie Sanders Live-Tweeted The GOP Debate, And He Did Not Disappoint Yasssss, Bernie.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders live-tweeted the GOP debate Wednesday night, and he did not disappoint.

Using the hashtag #DebateWithBernie, Sanders took on such GOP primary leaders as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former neurosurgeon Ben Carson and reality TV star Donald Trump. Sanders called out Republicans for "their desire to go to war" and their attacks on Planned Parenthood, and highlighted topics that got little to no attention, like income inequality and climate change.

Sanders came out swinging, taking a jab at Florida Sen. Marco Rubio after he made a joke about climate change in his opening remarks:

Rubio knows California has a drought. Will he have the courage to connect that to climate change or reject the science?

(snip)
He later claimed Ohio Gov. John Kasich's stances prove he doesn't know the American people:

Kasich. You don't know ANYBODY who doesn't think we should defund Planned Parenthood? Really? You apparently don't know the American people.
