Sanders won the GOP debate — on Facebook. over 150,000 likes and 30,000 shares
While there are many lists of candidates who supposedly won Wednesday night's GOP debate, the man who truly took home the prize doesn't appear on any of them.
That's because he's not a Republican.
Bernie Sanders was crowned king of the debate yet again after producing the single biggest Facebook post of the night by far.
"It wasn't even close," says Brandon Silverman, CEO of CrowdTangle, a company that measures and analyzes social media interactions.
"The evening was really pretty sad," Sanders wrote in the Facebook post that garnered over 150,000 likes and 30,000 shares. "This country and our planet face enormous problems. And the Republican candidates barely touched upon them tonight. And when they did, they were dead wrong on virtually every position they took. The Republican Party cannot be allowed to lead this country. That's why we need a political revolution."
