Rubio steals Twitter talk from Trump
MANCHESTER, N.H. — For the first time Donald Trump is not the most-discussed GOP presidential candidate on Twitter during one of the field’s primary debate, replaced by Marco Rubio
{mosads}The Florida senator has controlled 25 percent of the conversation as of the first hour of the debate, according to data obtained by Twitter. Trump, who is a Twitter whiz, followed with 22 percent of the conversation, followed by Ted Cruz at 19 percent, Chris Christie at 14 percent and Ben Carson at 10 percent.
Twitter did not specify, however, that the conversation was positive. Rubio took hits from Christie for his lack of experience and was booed by the audience for repeatedly drawing the conversation back to President Obama, regardless of what he was asked.
This is the first time Trump has not led the Twitter conversation during any Republican presidential debate.
