He wasn’t in Sunday night’s Democratic debate, but Donald Trump still outclassed most of those who were — at least according to one social media metric.

Trump’s Twitter account experienced more follower growth during the Democratic debate than two of the three Democrats who competed on stage, according to statistics compiled by Twitter.

While Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders topped all candidates during the debate in terms of Twitter growth, Trump came in second place, followed by former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Texas Sen. [crscore]Ted Cruz[/crscore].
