10 data points that defined the first Democratic debate in Detroit


Sen. Elizabeth Warren spoke the most, but author Marianne Williamson picked up the most new Twitter followers.

10 Democratic presidential candidates shared the debate stage in Detroit Tuesday. Here's a look at the night by the numbers:


18:45 minutes

How long Warren spoke, the most of the 10 candidates.

As one of the two most progressive candidates on stage, Warren fended off criticism of her support for Medicare for All, tax increases on the wealthy and other agenda items that more moderate opponents said were unfeasible.

Sen. Bernie Sanders — a self-proclaimed Democratic socialist who also had to defend his stances against the moderates in the field — trailed closely behind Warren with 17:24 minutes of talking time.


35+

How many times candidates tried to interrupt each other.

And that was despite warnings that their time would be reduced if they didn’t wait their turn. Warren accounted for many of those interruptions (with numerous interjections of “I’d like to respond”) as she defended her policy positions.


< 9 minutes

How long Williamson and former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper each spoke, the least of the 10 candidates.

At one point, after a moderator flagged her time limit during a round of discussion on immigration policy, Williamson trailed off, saying, “I hope you’ll come back to me this time.”


8,005

How many Twitter users followed Williamson during the debate, according to a

.

Warren was the runner-up with 5,772 new followers, followed by South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 4,553 new followers.

Sanders rounded out the top four with 2,331 new followers.


61

How many times candidates name-dropped Trump.

After the June debates, political pundits hit Democratic hopefuls for barely mentioning the commander-in-chief, saying they needed to demonstrate they could take him on in the general election. They made up for it Wednesday.

“If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days," Williamson said. "We need to say it like it is: it's bigger than Flint. It's all over this country. It's particularly people of color. It's particularly people who do not have the money to fight back, and if the Democrats don't start saying it, why would those people feel they're there for us, and if those people don't feel it, they won't vote for us, and Donald Trump will win.”

that, yes, “dark psychic force” did have its own “moment.”)


15

How many times China was mentioned.

Candidates didn’t use the night to hunker down on China, but the rising superpower — a favorite Trump target and a country that elected officials on both sides of the aisle have called a threat to national security — was invoked in passing throughout the night.

“We've got to be building bridges with people like China who were cheating on international agreements and stealing intellectual property … if we're going to really deal with climate change in a realistic way," Hickenlooper said.


25

How many times candidates referenced the climate or climate change.

There were roughly 14 minutes allotted to climate policy, following a push led by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee to devote more time to the topic after the June debates. Inslee will take the stage Wednesday night.

"The Republicans won't even acknowledge that climate change is real, Dana, and that's because of the corrupt influence and money," Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said.

4

How many times candidates used the phrase “Republican talking point.”

The term was thrown around throughout the debate to dispute criticism of progressive candidates’ policy proposals — usually when candidates were backed into a corner.


9

How many times candidates name-dropped Obama.

“We need the public option," Sen. Amy Klobuchar said of her health care proposal. "That's what Barack Obama wanted, and it would bring health care costs down for everyone."


1

How many times candidates apologized for attempting to interrupt.

After moderators told Sanders at one point that it was Warren’s turn to speak, he quickly replied, “Oh, I’m sorry."

He earned laughter from the audience and approval from some on Twitter, who called the interaction “

” and the “” of the duo's friendship.
