The Debate By the Numbers

Here are the numbers for last night's the Republican presidential debate, via Bloomberg.

Although data was calculated for applause/laughter, I do note there is no column for groans by the audience, probably because there was only one significant groan aimed at a candidate and that's when Rand Paul decided to tell listeners that the age when Social Security benefits kick-in must be raised. He said, "Blame your grandparents for having too many kids." -RW
