Donald Trump made headlines Tuesday by announcing that he would live-tweet CNN’s Democratic presidential debate.
 By at least one metric, Trump came out the winner of the debate.  By the end of it, he had gained 60 thousand new followers. Â
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton, by contrast, added 28 thousand and 10 thousand new Twitter followers, respectively. Â
Martin O’Malley, Kim Webb, and Lincoln Chafee added about 10K new followers combined. While generally mocking the candidates and describing the debate as a “snooze-fest”, Trump did commend Bernie Sanders for having a collegial moment with competitor Hillary Clinton. Â Sanders blew off the controversy surrounding Clinton’s personal email server, saying that Americans didn’t care about her “damn emails”. Â
Trump’s live-tweeting of the debate also became a trending topic on Twitter.
