When The Comics Industry Watched The Republican Debate On CNN Last Night

It's that time again where the comics hive mind live tweet the GOP debate.

At the end of the debate, everyone is going to get on that airplane and fly out of there.

Is Bush going to bite Trump?

— sohmer (@sohmer) September 17, 2015

Nobody controls Trump! Not even Trump!

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) September 17, 2015

Trump just handled Bush interrupting brilliantly. "More energy tonight, I like that."

— Julian Darius (@JulianDarius) September 17, 2015

Donald Trump said, "I will take care of women. I respect women" and I swear there was audible laughter from the audience. #GOPDebate

Thank goodness trump thinks fiorina is beautiful! As a beautiful man himself I was worried he would not think she was attractive.

Counter programming right now is @maddow explaining why Trump/Fiorina/etc are killing their national chances. She could be a Whig & be right

"He kept us safe by going to a war with a country that didn't attack us." – Jeb #GOPDebate

— Fabian Nicieza (@FabianNicieza) September 17, 2015

I really want Jeb Bush to pull the SNL "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy" line.

— James Tynion IV 🦇🦇🦇🦇 (@JamesTheFourth) September 17, 2015

ASSIMILATE. Someone please make a Trump Borg picture for me immediately. Right now. Please.

— Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) September 17, 2015

Trump keeps telling Rubio to speak English.

— J. Torres (@jtorrescomics) September 17, 2015

God help me, there's something about Christie I like.

— sohmer (@sohmer) September 17, 2015

She finds Trump "quite rich"… Don't we all? #GOPDebate

— Franco (@awyeahfranco) September 17, 2015

@kickstandband I'm pretty Jeb Bush almost punched Donald Trump for talking shit about his brother. It was awesome.

— ଲ(ⓛ ω ⓛ)ଲ (@panda7488) September 17, 2015

I love when Trump's national policy plans are based on personal anecdote. #GOPDebate

— Fabian Nicieza (@FabianNicieza) September 17, 2015

Fiorina is the only one on this stage I can imagine having an adult conversation with Clinton.

— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) September 17, 2015

Donald Trump: make sure vaccines for infants look baby-sized.

— David Liss (@David_Liss) September 17, 2015

Trump says he'd put his daughter on the $10 bill. You know, the one he would "do" if she weren't his daughter

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) September 17, 2015

@ErrataRob Did Jeb actually say "cyberspace"?

— William Gibson (@GreatDismal) September 17, 2015

When Chris Christie is the voice of reason on the stage it's time to blow up the party from orbit. #GOPDebate

— Joe Szilagyi (@joeszi) September 17, 2015

I love that Trump promises "more of everything." I hope that included pickled herring.

— David Liss (@David_Liss) September 17, 2015

When Christie said the Adams Family, I thought he meant the Addams & I was like "Are you gonna say Morticia!?"

— Geek Girl Diva (@geekgirldiva) September 17, 2015

@mike_hogan I'm serious thinking of lobbying for Morticia Addams thanks to Chris Christie.

— Geek Girl Diva (@geekgirldiva) September 17, 2015

Why didn't Trump just Trump the fuck out at Jeb and say something like "Your brother kept us safe? As a New Yorker, I say GET FUCKED, sir."

— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) September 17, 2015

Obama has taken our safety away? You got a thing about Obama taking things from us, Christie.What's that about?

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) September 17, 2015

Christie is right! Barack Obama took that safety away from us by not letting any terrorists strike on U.S. soil. #GOPDebate

— Fabian Nicieza (@FabianNicieza) September 17, 2015

Carson offers gentlemanly handshake. Trump tries to high-five him. This is jaw-dropping… https://t.co/ynZYUiiu39

— Mark Millar (@mrmarkmillar) September 17, 2015

I'm hearing too much "Syria" and "Putin" in this debate. How about, "let's do what our constituents actually want us to do"?

— tako |ϾﺭϾ| (@tako1337) September 17, 2015

The cognitive dissonance induced by actually watching this debate, as opposed to watching people tweet about watching it? I'm speechless.

— William Gibson (@GreatDismal) September 17, 2015

One last thing, and it kills me to say this, but FOX news held a better debate than CNN.

— sohmer (@sohmer) September 17, 2015

If this debate were "Destroy All Monsters", Donald Trump would be Ghidorah.

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) September 17, 2015

Marco: Gun violence is a result of the last 8 years of a left wing President. There was no gun violence before that. #GOPDebate

— Fabian Nicieza (@FabianNicieza) September 17, 2015

@Remender This debate needs an action shot. I vote a huge constable on a bike driving across the stage.

— Sean Gordon Murphy (@Sean_G_Murphy) September 17, 2015

@Sean_G_Murphy @Remender Come on, Get that plane involved.

— Joe Mulvey (@JoeMulv) September 17, 2015

Oh snap! Debate just got interesting… Christie storms off stage… pic.twitter.com/HXAnW1M2Fl

— J. Torres (@jtorrescomics) September 17, 2015

This debate is ridiculous. Thanks Obama!

— Franco (@awyeahfranco) September 17, 2015

Props to you brave twitterers who watched the GOP debate for those of us who dislike discomfort & sadness.

— Tim Seeley (@HackinTimSeeley) September 17, 2015

My amusement at tonight's debate was brief, only to be replaced by a profound sadness at the culture of willful ignorance we have today.

— sohmer (@sohmer) September 17, 2015

That thing where you only check replies because you don't want debate spoilers.

Oh wait, that's not a thing, I'm just a total loser.

— Andy Khouri (@andykhouri) September 17, 2015

OK the who-can-be-the-biggest-science-illiterate pissing match did it. Ragequit the debate protocl, ENGAGE

— Paul Degnan (@pauldegnan) September 17, 2015

How long IS this debate?

— Kevin Maguire (@maguirekevin) September 17, 2015

The questions in this debate have been really meh. https://t.co/IQ7K44k8M8

— Geek Girl Diva (@geekgirldiva) September 17, 2015

Not too sure about this Republican debate. pic.twitter.com/prje2X3tWW

— Paul Tobin (@PaulTobin) September 17, 2015

I watched only enough of the GOP debate to be amazed at how they all kowtowed to anti-vaxxers. I guess that's a plank now.

— Alex Irvine (@alexirvine) September 17, 2015

Can we just decided this whole debate thing with the candidates going on @midnight instead?

— Dan Wickline (@danwickline) September 17, 2015

In retrospect, it is the demonization and abject fear of Mexicans, women, and Muslims that most stands out in my mind about the debate.

— Julian Darius (@JulianDarius) September 17, 2015

I tried everyone. I couldn't. too much dumb. All of them are asses. The entire debate was them trying to out trump trump. Done!!! #GOPDebate

— READ DOX AND CHAMPIONS #Outlawed (@agentfitz777) September 17, 2015

My eyes are going. Misread 'debate' as 'debacle'… 👀👓

— 🔥A M Y C H U🔥#donutkiller (@AmyChu) September 17, 2015

I watched the Republican debate with my dad (kind of. It was on the background while I read comics)

— Gassius Clay (@AdamSMessinger) September 17, 2015

Awww. Bless. The one candidate CNN refused to invite to the debate http://t.co/a9D8AVZgtu
