On Thursday, the top seven Republican presidential candidates duked it out on stage in North Charleston, South Carolina in the sixth GOP debate of the 2016 election season. Despite the nation's focus being on the conservative party, Democrat Bernie Sanders gained more Twitter followers during the GOP debate than six out of the seven contenders. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump was the only Republican to see his Twitter following advance more than the liberal Vermont senator's Thursday night.

Sanders' name came up in the debate when the moderators asked John Kasich: "What does it say about our country that a candidate who is a self-avowed socialist and who doesn't think a 90 percent tax rate is too high could be the Democratic nominee?" After saying that the GOP would win every state if Sanders was the Democratic nominee, Kasich went on to advocate for increasing Americans' wage and training college students for good-paying jobs that exist.

Even with very few mentions, Sanders got more attention than Kasich, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, and Jeb Bush. According to the Twitter Government & Elections team, Trump gained the most followers during the debate, followed by Sanders, Cruz, Rubio, and Paul (who also wasn't in attendance).

John Kasich was talking like Sanders there. But I'm not fooled.
