"Trump's absence from the last debate saw a boost for candidates like Ted Cruz on social media. With Trump's return to the debate stage this week and the results from the recent Iowa caucus, it was more important than ever for the Republican candidates to amp up their social media approaches leading up to this debate," commented Bryan Segal, CEO at Engagement Labs. "We saw candidates like Kasich put more emphasis on their social media channels to gain momentum on social and get in front of voters at this crucial point in the election."
