CNN just wrapped up the final Democratic presidential town hall before next week’s Iowa caucuses and, finally, the forum faced no direct television competition from a major sporting event, leading to some Republican voters tuning out “The Bachelor” to live-tweet their dismay and mock Bernie Sanders, Martin O’Malley and Hillary Clinton:
Most hilariously, there was this pair of unintentionally comedic tweets from Sen. Rand Paul while Sanders was up:
I'm running to defeat socialism. Chip in $5 or $8 to tell Bernie Sanders "no thanks" to socialism. https://t.co/78WPMctrVp
— Rand Paul (@RandPaul) January 26, 2016
Can I get another 100 donors from Twitter tonight? We must defeat Socialism. Contribute $35, $11, or just $2!! https://t.co/78WPMctrVp

Then Rob Lowe reached back to “West Wing” to hit Sanders:
Watching Bernie Sanders. He's hectoring and yelling at me WHILE he's saying he's going to raise our taxes. Interesting way to communicate.

Kind of them to put O'Malley in the middle. It'd be pretty embarrassing to watch everyone file out while O'Malley was talking.

I'd love to see ratings for the Dem townhall, once O'Malley sat down.

Hillary says Republicans want to "rip away the progress." She's for Planned Parenthood ripping away a developing child.
