Debate Tweets from Iowa Debate......Minus Donald Duck....We Mean Donald Trump......

Here are some tweets about tonight's Fox News Republican Party Debate moderated by Megyn Kelly, which caused Donald Duck/Trump not to attend; one of his main rivals Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is pictured top. That's a cow from the Iowa State Fair in the middle. And, of course, Donald Duck is at the bottom:

1) John Fugelsang (liberal): Carly Fiorina will make a great president as soon as she's done catching the DALMATIANS!!!

2) Hind Makki (Muslim woman activist): Does Ben Carson remember that many of the Founding Fathers were also slave-owners?

3) Megan McArdle (The Atlantic): Ben Carson closes by reading the preamble to the Constitution. Sadly, this is the strongest answer he has ever given in a debate.

4) Peter Suderman (Reason magazine): Rubio delivers every line as if it's part of an epic monologue. He's like Aaron Sorkin if Aaron Sorkin were a Republican.

5) Ana Marie Cox (liberal): Interesting, Fox News outsourced almost all of its questions about race and immigration to Youtube.

6) Meghan McCain (conservative): I like Jeb Bush for the first time in any debate.

7) Sally Kohn (CNN): Overall I thought the the debate questions were refreshing. The answers unsurprisingly less so.

8) Theodore R. Johnson: Ben Carson closed with a Constitutional Easter Special.

9) Jonathan V. Last (conservative): Can't believe moderators let that BS 'climate of hatred' Islamophobia question into the debate. Advantage Trump.

Normally, we try to keep these things a tad bit objective, but we liked the first tweet the best! 

Colorado Republican Debate Tweet Round-up: The Local Angle (2 of 3)

Colorado Springs, Colorado, is not only the most politically conservative in Colorado, but also one of the leading right-wing settlements in America. But, the CNBC Republicans Debate took place at the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colo., a liberal enclave which is represented by Cong. Jared Polis (D-Colo., pict. above), one of the few openly gay current members of Congress.

Here are tweets which are mostly from Colorado sources, mixed in with an update on the Kansas-Iowa State college volleyball game in Ames, Iowa, which was broadcast on ESPN-U tonight.

1) The Colorado GOP: Packed house at the official Colo GOP watch party. CO Republicans are engaged.

2) Denver Political News: Carly Fiorina blasts politicians for talking about tax reform for years, but not doing anything about it.

3) Jared Polis: Jeb and Rubio fighting as only lovers can.

4) Marshall Zelinger (local newspaper reporter): Chris Christie makes an appearance at the GOPDebate. Better make it worth it, not sure when he's gonna be asked another question.

5) Cyclone Volleyball: ISU has sure fire now! 3-0 run has reduced the Kansas advantage to 9-7 in the fourth.

6) Adrian D. Garcia (Coloradoan Reporter, a newspaper in Fort Collins): CNBC to Fiorina: 'Your board fired you, I'm just wondering why you think we should hire you now?'"

7) Foreign Affairs: For those glued to the GOPDebate tonight, the World Series Game 2 is tied 0-0 at the top of the fourth.

8) College Republicans: Thank you, Ted Cruz for saying what we are all thinking.

 9) Colorado Dems: Rand Paul's budget priorities cuts to programs that hurt Coloradans.
