Missouri Republicans weigh in on GOP debate

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Several Missouri politicians from the GOP turned to Twitter Thursday night as they watched the first Republican primary presidential debate.

Overall, most Republicans seemed to celebrate the field…

… with the exception of businessman Donald Trump. Recently elected Majority Floor Leader of the House Mike Cierpiot posted this link the morning after the debate.

Rep. Paul Curtman was perhaps the most active Tweeter of the evening. He was one of the few who live tweeted his reactions to the two debates.

Curtman, along with Rep. Elijah Haahr and Rep. Travis Fitzwater, felt that Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, was the most impressive of the candidates.

Gubernatorial candidate and businessman John Brunner tweeted what he believed to be the most important thing for Republicans to take away from the debate.
