Senator Bernie Sanders may have failed to clinch the Democratic presidential nomination, but there was no way he was going to stay silent during Monday's debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump [1]. Even before the debate began, Sanders tweeted about the problematic aspects of Trump's policy. Throughout the evening, he expressed his disbelief at some of Trump's most ridiculous comments [2] and addressed Trump's contradictory responses by reminding followers about the social values that were the backbone of his campaign. Read on for all of Sanders's tweets from the big night and then check out the best tweets from the first presidential debate [3].

I hope Trump tells us tonight why, amidst huge inequality, he thinks we should give huge tax breaks to billionaires. #DebateWithBernie [8]

I hope Trump tells us what happens to the 20 million he would throw off health insurance. How many will die or become much sicker? #debates [10]

Trump wants more tax breaks for billionaires, won't raise the min. wage & denies climate change. This isn't someone who should be president.

Glad Trump is concerned about manufacturing jobs going abroad. He might want to start making his clothing in the US not low-wage countries.

If Trump is concerned about companies going abroad maybe he should move his plants out of Bangladesh where workers are paid 30 cents an hour

Trump's proposals wouldn't just give huge tax breaks to billionaires they'd cut pell grants to make college affordable by $28 billion.

How dare Trump express concerns about African Americans when his birther efforts attempted to delegitimize @POTUS [19]. What a hypocrite!

The difficulty of discussions with Donald Trump is that he lies all the time. That's not my view. That's the view of media that covers him.

Speaking of generals, four-star General Colin Powell referred to Trump as "a national disgrace" and an "international pariah." #debatenight [22]
