Hollywood liberals reveled in the fighting between GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Twitter during Thursday’s CNN Republican Debate in Houston, Texas.
The three candidates squared off in a series of particularly heated exchanges as the Republican Party’s five remaining presidential candidates faced each other one final time before Super Tuesday at the University of Houston.
Below is a sampling of entertainment industry reactions to the debate:

Trump has a thing about saying things 3 times. Saying things 3 times. Saying things 3 times.

Clay Aiken:
Ha ha. #soundbite Marco Rubio … every singe one of your lines is so obviously rehearsed. #GOPDebate
— Clay Aiken (@clayaiken) February 26, 2016
When Rubio smiles at his own digs, he looks like a little kid who is so excited that he scored a goal in soccer. How cute. #gopdebate
— Clay Aiken (@clayaiken) February 26, 2016
Come on now Rubio, say something other than "This is not a real estate deal". I know you practiced it, but that was 4 times, man. #GOPDebate
— Clay Aiken (@clayaiken) February 26, 2016
"Go ahead. Don't get nervous." Trump is such the Alpha on the stage that Cruz and Rubio both look like kids. The whole picture is disturbing

@realDonaldTrump is right. He is the only candidate who has actually created jobs. His two leading rivals have never hired anybody
