OK, so let’s deal with the elephant–er, I mean the donkey–in the room: Some folks thought last night’s Democratic debate was boring. No, I’m not saying that was you, or even me, but some people felt it was. Some even began looking at social media for what else might be worth a look, and one Twitter user posted this:

That was all it took. Other Twitter users suddenly decided the object of comedy and scorn should be Martin O’Malley, and the barbs were released:
sanders: hillary, i'm sorry about the data breach
clinton: thanks bernie, i accept your apology
o'malley: i am also a person who exists— Sage Boggs (@sageboggs) December 20, 2015
"WHOA WHOA WHOA, Martin… have you been here the entire time?" – Bernie Sanders #DemDebate

O'Malley is like a dude who's being left out in a threesome but instead of masturbating quietly he suddenly starts playing piano #DemDebate

Others decided to do a compare and contrast on Republican vs. Democratic debates:

@FrankConniff More accurately, the difference between "Citizen Kane" and "Kirk Cameron Saves Christmas".

Jeb Bush, apparently realizing that he has nothing left to lose, also joined the party. That was a big mistake:
.@JebBush is live tweeting the #DemDebate when he couldn't even live debate the one he was in.

Nothing like listening to an entitled baby-man polling in single digits tweet something an intern thought was cool. https://t.co/8A6YlzbNsh

And then we have this one from actor/director and always hilarious Albert Brooks, who perfectly summed up the evening:
I think we should elect Bernie. When Isis hears a Jew is president they will all have heart attacks and die.

Boring debate? Not if you were on Twitter last night. Far from it. How in the hell did we entertain ourselves before the Internet? Oh, that’s right, I forgot: We watched TV and tossed our barbs at the screen.
